And this is from PETA regarding animal rights: Supporters of animal rights believe that animals have an inherent worth—a value completely separate from their usefulness to humans. We believe that every creature with a will to live has a right to live free from pain and suffering. Animal rights is not just a philosophy—it is a social movement that challenges society’s traditional view that all nonhuman animals exist solely for human use. As PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk has said, “When it comes to pain, love, joy, loneliness, and fear, a rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. Each one values his or her life and fights the knife.” |
I have read it. I am only going by her own words ...and in my book if money overshadows your beliefs and convictions then you must not hold those beliefs very close ..... *and money and press is why I believe she would name Oprah , who has adopted almost all her dogs from breeders , something Ingrid is supposedly against , woman of the year even though that seems to contradict her feelings on the breeder situation* JMO
Like I said I am for the humane treatment of animals , but I think any bill that is rushed through would do more harm than good in the end. There is never a way to make everyone happy but to rush something that will have a state / nationwide effect is not good judgement. Everyone wants to see an end to puppymills and bad breeders , but In most cases it seems they are the ones least effected by the bills.
