William Wilberforce started the SPCA in England in the late 18th century....compassion for animals and how to treat them accordingly goes way back. The way we treat others, animal or non-animal, isn't as simple as a symptom of the times, in my opinion. |
Agree. My family and I had dogs back then - while they didn't get the superior vet care, etc that mine do - NEITHER did they get strapped to the back of a car for 12 hours or whatever it was.
I don't care who you are or what party you belong to - this is just wrong - and I have to wonder about the compassionate character of a person allowing such a thing to take place.
1983 was not the dark ages people!
