"animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives … Any animals that are entitled to bring suit would be represented by (human) counsel, who would owe guardian-like obligations and make decisions, subject to those obligations, on their clients' behalf."

Glad Øbama is appointing such a "centrist" cabinet. /s

*** Sunstein’s work could spell the end of animal agriculture, retail sales of meat and dairy foods, hunting and fishing, biomedical research, pet ownership, zoos and aquariums, traveling circuses, and countless other things Americans take for granted.***

Hmmm...no meat, no fish, no milk. NO HEALTHY BONES for Americans.

[Sunstein wrote in his 2004 book “Animal Rights: Current Debates and New Directions” that “animals should be permitted to bring suit, with human beings as their representatives … ]

The communist democrats and foolish liberal republicrats of America have lost their collective mind. This is the type of government the majority of people voted for (stupid is as stupid does) and they themselves will someday learn that they were so wrong.
Until then, may the Lord Jesus Christ defend us from all the enemies of His righteousness and His government.
Come quickly Lord Jesus.

P.S. Another sign of the latter days prophecy's is being fulfilled ( they will refuse to eat meat which God has given to be received with thanksgiving, as well as refusing to marry and other latter day prophecies which are being fulfilled before our very eyes).Fascinating.

History Reapeating itself:

There was widespread support for animal welfare in Nazi Germany[1] and the Nazis took several measures to ensure protection of animals.[2] Many Nazi leaders including

Adolf Hitler and Hermann Göring were supporters of animal protection. Several Nazis were environmentalists, and species protection and animal welfare were significant issues in the Nazi regime.[3] Heinrich Himmler made efforts to ban the hunting of animals.[4] Göring was an animal lover and conservationist.[5] The current animal welfare laws in Germany are more or less modification of the laws introduced by the Nazis.[6]

...and people think IT CANNOT happen here in the USA...

“Sunstein supports outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file lawsuits,...”

Please Lord, let this insanity end...

I have absolutely no problem with animals filing lawsuits as long as no human is involved in the process, especially the process of banking donations and court monetary awards for “expenses”.

I’d be willing to bet that the pro-animal guy is also pro-unborn baby killing.

It will....when we do something about it. Frankly our forefathers (better men than we are) would have gone to arms a long long time ago.

Hell, why keep it secret, no Obombanite cares one whit. I expect him to grab a few murders and rapist out of prison to “balance” his cabinet.

Would that it was a cabinet appointee. Then he would have to be confirmed, and this lunacy would probably doom the appointment. As it is, I don't think the position to which he is being appointed requires Senate confirmation.

I am thinking of bringing a class action lawsuit by my two Labradors (acting on behalf of all dogs) against Sunstein over his proposed ban of meat eating. The theory would be that my dogs are serious carnivores, but the process of domestication has left them unable to hunt for meat on their own. If their people are prohibited from buying meat to feed them, it would violate their constitutional right (which Sunstein apparently claims they have) to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

I would expect no less from this empty suit socialist. I also think that I’m going to be feeling impotent and angry for the next four years.

I hope others will have had enough by then and will join me. Come to my farm! Bring your own ammo. Pitchforks and torches will be provided. ;)

“...biomedical researchers...”

This, I disagree with. ‘Animal Rights’ freaks don’t care HOW many embryonic humans are killed in research. They just don’t want us to put any makeup on dose cute widdow bunnie wabbits!

For the sake of the animals we must begin testing all new products on toddlers! *SMIRK*
