That’d be good but didn’t the EPA give them a free pass?

Let me add that the animal rights agenda is profoundly evil and immoral. It is designed to separate humans from the animal kingdom. This is in direct violation to every law of God and nature.

Ask the Nazis. They were upset about farm practices but were confortable transporting and slaughtering humans like cattle. Hitler chose the swastika for a reason. Hinduism leads to animals having preferential treatment over humans. This is obvious in India. The infusion of hindu ideology into the western mindset has been very succesful. Hinduism is hostile to human life. The tamil hindus in Sri Lanka pioneered the suicide vest.
Groups like Peta are essentially hinduism dressed in western garb. Singer from Australia ,( I’m ashamed to say) despite Jewish background is a hindu/nazi philosophy propagandist. He gets upset about rats dying but cares nothing for murdered pre birth children. Infanticide is even kosher for him Sick sonofabitch.Don’t get me wrong. Animal husbandry should be done humanely. Of course enviro nazis dont want animal husbandry at all. Veges only. On one hand they believe we a part of the natural world but negate that with moral choices about food selection. Meat is murder slogans etc. But if we of the natural world then it follows that a human should have no more shame eating meat than a lion does. People forget the Nazis had a subset of naturists in its ranks. The Wandervogel. And vegetarianist leanings of Hitler etc

Thank you for referencing that article EBH. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

A state’s legislative body has the 10A-protected power to make laws which treats animals as victims, as long as such laws don’t unreasonably abridge the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens.

The problem that I have with the referenced article is the following. It looks like some activist judge is wrongly legislating animal rights from the bench just as activist judges have been doing with constitutionally unprotected gay “rights.”

LOL.

Just don't try it with your cat.

Are humans really considered victims?

Under the original Law and our U.S. Constitution, people have rights. Animals don’t. Our Constitution is fine. People in leadership positions aren’t.

These groups are arguing to give “personhood status” to non humans.
Here come the people who want to marry their lamas, etc.
Or is this the camel’s nose under the skirt?
Eww, sorry. Bad pun.

Be prepared to defend yourself in a court of law on a murder charge.
