Liberal? Never! Just an animal lover. Not all people who love animals are liberals... I just don't see how anyone can harm an animal... it's beyond me!
What about clothing?
It's easy ... you just lead 'em a bit more.
Here's why it was a liberal response. It was self righteous and never took into account any other reason for killing besides food. How about non-native pest species like brown tree snakes, starlings or Norway rats? Are we supposed to spare such harmful animals just because we don't intend on eating them? How about the rabbits that are tearing up your garden? We all kill on a daily basis as part of our existence. Maybe we do so in an indirect manner by paying others to do it for us, but killing is part of our life. Needless killing or cruel treatment of animals is another thing, but I think that applies only to a tiny minority of hunters.
Before you break your arm patting yourself on your back, let us ask a few questions: Do you wear any makeup at all? If you do, then you may have strongly encouraged animal-cruelty in labs. If you have had any shots then you may have strongly encouraged animal-cruelty in labs. Do you partake of any foods other than what comes out of your own back yard? If so, then you may have strongly encouraged animal-cruelty in labs and in open fields when spraying is being done, for that matter. Do you wear silk? Ditto... Have you eaten meat in any form? Fish? Fowl? Ditto... I eat meat... I wear silk... I have had shots... I eat fruits and vegetables grown in areas other than my back yard. I own guns... I wear lipstick... In the middle of NOWHERE, animal life is given for the progress and safety of mankind.... Just a note so you can go look at yourself in the mirror.... Am I for cruelty for animals? No. Do I think people who are cruel to animals need to be themselves put away? Yes. NOT FOR THE SAKE OF THE ANIMAL, but BECAUSE IT TRANSLATES SO OFTEN TO DEATH FOLLOWING FOR HUMANS.... Oh. I am owned by two pooches (was three - one passed away), and a VERY hostile 18 year old cat, along with a husband. And the husband is the softy of the family!
Ditto. I consider myself a little to the right of Attila the Hun, but I have NO tolerance for anyone who abuses an animal. Hurt my cats, and you are putting your life at risk (especially if my wife, who is a crack shot, catches you).
