So Three Cows Walk into Court : Animal-rights extremism in the Obama entourage is no joke. by Wesley J. Smith 07/20/2009, Volume 014, Issue 41
Imagine you are a cattle rancher looking for liability insurance. You meet with your broker, who, as expected, asks a series of questions to gauge your suitability for coverage:
Have you ever been sued by your cattle?
If the answer is yes, what was the outcome of that suit?
Have you received any correspondence or other communication from your herd's legal representatives threatening suit or seeking to redress any legal grievance?
If you think that's a ridiculous scenario, that animals suing their owners could never happen, think again. For years, the animal rights movement has quietly agitated to enact laws, convince the government to promulgate regulations, or obtain a court ruling granting animals the "legal standing" to drag their owners (and others) into court.

“the animal rights movement has quietly agitated”
So whats the difference between lobbyists and agitators? Nothing Obama has an entire staff of Community agitators working for him.
The glaring thing that shows up in articles about HSUS vs. agriculture is that any ag group that stands up to HSUS is described as the “agriculuture lobby” or “farm lobby”...it’s funny that reporters never describe HSUS as the “animal rights industry lobby”.
Yes, but humans are animals, too, and I just want to assert my 'animal rights' that come with being at the upper part of the food chain.
So whats the difference between lobbyists and agitators?
Lobbyists have money to spend,
agitators WANT money to spend.
How about, the parents of the crickets I fed my lizard hire a lawyer and sue me?
Good grief...”agriculture”
Stop me if you’ve heard this one...
Joe Biden walks into a bar...and wakes up in the hospital with a concussion.
Shortest joke I know....
Baby Seal walks into a club.
That’s just wrong.
