Sunstein supports outlawing sport hunting, giving animals the legal right to file lawsuits, and using government regulations to phase out meat consumption. Cass belongs in a padded cell, not leading the ORIA.

"animals should be permitted to bring suit,And I suppose next they'll be allowed to vote, file for welfare benefits, and receive food stamps.
Are these people aware just how nutty they sound?

When activists of any stripe demand rights for animals, rocks, or plants, what they are really doing is demanding disproportionate representation of their interests as the self-appointed advocates representing those constituents. Unfortunately, to enforce a right requires the police power of government, the only agent so capable. Government acquires this role because it is assumed a disinterested arbiter of competing claims. History suggests quite the opposite, which is why limiting the number of enforceable rights is as important to liberty as is constituting them as such.
When government gains the power to confer rights to any constituency, it acquires the means to confer power upon itself as an enforcing agent. There is then no limit to the power to dilute the rights of citizens. Civic respect for unalienable rights of citizens then exists not at all.

That's crazy! An airplane went down today because of some ducks. If you don't keep the deer population down you will probably end up hitting one and maybe hurting your family in the accident.

"We ought to ban hunting, I suggest, if there isn't a purpose other than sport and fun. That should be against the law. It's time now."What the hell does that mean? It's ok to shoot animals for sport.....like safari's and ok to shoot for meat, like hunting.....but everything else is not OK. Like running over cats while driving down the road? I don't understand.

I asked a doctor once about vegetarians. He said to me: “have you ever seen an 80 year old vegetarian?”

“Hope and Change” turns to “Desperation and Insanity”.
I hope there is something left of this country in 4 years. These lunatics are going to start a revolution.

As I have said before, Barry was just a vessel to get these lunatics in control of government. A “gum wrapper” if you will.

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.So true!! LOL!

The only way a moron like Sunstein would be nominated to any position is if she "paid to play"...
I wonder how much money she and her organiztions used to bribe Obama?
