So we move away from animals being property of the owner to having some sort of "victimhood."

Wonder if this can apply to dog shooting cops? How does this affect vets who make a mistake? How about pet food companies where animals are harmed due to salmonella etc.?

Does this ruling kick things up a notch too high?

Can't speak for Oregon, that I gather from the column is still in a primitive stage, but in real States, the owner of horses is required by law to provide them with 1. proper water, 2. proper feed, 3. proper shelter, and 4. proper vet care.

If you can't handle the above, then you shouldn't be owning horses and probably need some time in jail to clear your head (or at least think about it when you pay the fine).

Animals can legally be considered DINNER.

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.”

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.
