Something being the "norm" or "standard" does not make it okay or acceptable and it takes people to challenge the norm to bring about change for the betterment of all concerned. NO VOICE = NO CHOICE and I am happy to be that voice.
I would encourage anyone to support any group which cares about the welfare of all animals such as the RSPCA:
If you would like further information about the RSPCA, policies, or governing and branch rules, simply follow these links or send your request in writing to:
RSPCA Supporter Services
Wilberforce Way
Southwater
Horsham

For my part, this debate has left me enlightened but exhausted. I do not know what spurred it on (I think it was Teddy's sweet wagging tail when he greeted me one morning and the rage I felt thinking someone would lop his tail off to meet a "standard"!).
I thoroughly enjoyed some whiskey last night which is enjoying me this morning!  |
LOVE the No Voice=No Choice - so simple and true.
I totally support the SPCA - in fact, William Wilberforce is actually one of my all time heroes in history, by far - he was just incredible. One of my fave quotes by him is:
If to be feelingly alive to the sufferings of my fellow-creatures is to be a fanatic, I am one of the most incurable fanatics ever permitted to be at large. -- adore that to no end! He was incredible...have you ever seen the movie about him?
Lol....hope the whiskey after effects wear off soon
