We don't eat hay, but pastures with cows also support other animals -- who might not live there if we eliminated the cows and grew corn instead. Respect for life doesn't mean they are people or should have the same rights.. <br />If animals are "equal" then we need to prosecute lions for abuse and murder. We don't let little kids run in the streets during traffic and in fact, usually employ fencing to "cage" them safely in yards. Before humans developed weaponry to prevent it, lions, leopards and even eagles ate us -- as the archaeological record shows (one of the most famous fossils was probably the result of a leopard kill and another that of an eagle). The assertion that somehow the existing laws aren't enough -- no law prevents crime. Laws only provide a penalty if one commits a crime. <br />The majority of dogs, if forced to live like wolves, would have much shorter, less pleasant lives. Being "crated" or confined in a yard is a major beneficial trade off for the species -- the wild version only exists because of human intervention to prevent extinction..

YOU are...Oh boy, Ingrid NewKook reads my blog! LOL.<br />YOU are morally inept and bankrupt. Comparing human slaves to animals? <br />Guess what, toots, life is a continual struggle for survival between and among species. The lion has a right to kill the lamb for dinner. That's the natural order. Humans have the right to use for profit, amusement or palate. If you don't like it, find yourself a new universe.

They hold the speciesist belief, like much of society, that animals are to be used for our own profit, amusement or palate. <br /><br />In an evolving world, this belief system will eventually go the way of the slave-owners of a few generations ago who were outraged that anyone would dare suggest that owning slaves was not a natural right. <br /><br />Open your heart to compassion and you will see that animals deserve freedom and the basic rights you deny them by deciding how and why they will breed.<br /><br />It's morally bankrupt.

It is a wonderful way to help expose what's occuring in our society to dog breeders & others involved in animal agriculture. I tweet articles like this one & I put them on face book. Farmers are learning how to blog and how to use social media in order to get their stories told. It is a useful worthwhile endeavor to tell our storymaggie bhttp://www.mydogmychoice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-1336890177554685342011-04-26T11:28:21.098-07:002011-04-26T11:28:21.098-07:00maggie b is correct. I have been fighting dog leg...maggie b is correct. I have been fighting dog legislation for 5 yrs and most of my friends don't believe it can happen to them...they believe the trumped up overly exaggerated stories in the media. <br />Puppies will always be around because they are being imported legally or illegally from other countries. How healthy they are is another story.<br />People don't adopt their dog from a shelter or rescue...they buy it (they have bought into the adoption thought)....they pick out a dog in kennel #, get out their wallet/credit card and they are a dog owner. They are buying a dog that has no known history of temperament, genetics, no parents, no nothing...its just a dog. <br />Yes, dog people do have lots of apathy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-58182841724884980492011-04-26T05:09:35.603-07:002011-04-26T05:09:35.603-07:00Most of us "real" dog people don't h...Most of us "real" dog people don't have time to "do" facebook or any social networks.

I'm reminded ...I read this again this morning. I'm reminded of the conversation I had with another dog breeder. She was arguing that my concerns about animal seizure were unfounded. I told her that it has happened to others. Her response was, "They deserved for it to happen. They were not doing the right thing for their animals". I told her that 20/20 had done an expose' on it (Cruelty to Owners) and that they had a licensed vet as a camera man that stated on camera that the dogs in the raid were well cared for and the habitat was a good one." Some not only do not wish to believe that it can happen, they are in full fledged denial. What's happening to victimized animal owners is frightening and it should be of concern to every American when any segment of society's rights are trampled for any reason.maggie bhttp://www.mydogmychoice.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9128506581675705657.post-34212043987934715302011-04-25T20:10:47.312-07:002011-04-25T20:10:47.312-07:00Your twitter link needs to shorten the URL so it a...Your twitter link needs to shorten the URL so it auto posts.
