I most certainly don't blame Huffington Post for the State of Oregon's antics, HP is at the least amusing from time to time. The State of Oregon is known for its rather far-fetched collectivist, water policing so ... no surprise. Quite a number of states are pushing for laws to promote specific treatment of animals even perhaps making them into 'citizens' or 'persons' with rights' But its interesting is it not that the same folks who boo-hoo over how a dog is treated make no qualms about the starving poor, cruelty to the homeless or about sending other people's sons to fight each other in death matches (arming them to the teeth in the process). Consider Mike Vick who lost his career and spent time in jail over dog-fighting. The treatment that horses see in the horse racing industry: hardly anyone touches the topic. One has just just gotta wonder about the glitzy, flaky, schizophrenia lurking behind the PR:Originally Posted by walter
"We are just such wonderful people for making rules to protect dogs and make them into citizens. Please ignore the dead looser #($(%*%* horses we wasted our money on. Fortunately, *smile* we'll make a few dollars return on turning them into glue and chicken nuggets. Heaven help us if McDonalds goes out of business. BTW, if I catch you feeding the poor again, I'll put you in jail with a blood and sh*t coated toilet for thirty days. Hopefully Red Bubba Riding Hood won't be too rough on you--if he happens to be out of solitary confinement at the time. *grin-smile* Would you like some tea? Aren't we such wonderful people? Welcome to the State of Oregon."
Believe me, I love dogs and horses. My friends say that their dogs show me more love than their own owners. I once had a possum get into a house, people suggested hiring a specialist to catch it. I simply made it a meal in a box. I watched it on camera become comfortable. Fortunately, it rode along peacefully as I carry outside in the box and set it free. However, taking all of the seemingly 'good things' they are aiming to do put up against the backdrop of the truth should IMHO raise suspicions: cruelty to men and children is still OK. But cruelty to a dog or even false accusations thereof could land you in jail? Sounds like yet another tool for Soviet Family Courts--so even if you don't have human children a vindictive wife or vindictive girlfriend can now weaponize your dog against you in some U.S. States.
