Rodents To Be Given Human Rights Under Green Party Plans By Matthew Holehouse 07 Mar 2015 Animals would be protected under human rights laws and new taxes imposed on nappies under plans to be considered by the Green Party. The insurgent environmentalist party, which hopes to hold the balance of power after the General Election by winning up to ten seats, will also propose creating a fleet of hospital ships to serve the developing world, cutting the size of National Lottery prizes and banning the Grand National.

The policies, set to become official policy during a series of debates on Saturday, underline the radical ambitions of Britain’s fastest-growing political movement, which now has 55,000 members – more than the Liberal Democrats or Ukip.

My dog (who should be given rights first) hates rodents and treats them with prejudice.

[ZULU]

Good. Now they can run for Congress. Should fit right in.

Black rodents may cry racists if the white one’s escape the Chinese menu list.

If the Greenies are now putting rats on the same par as themselves, does that mean we can use warfarin on them now?

[faithhopecharity]

Rats seeking to advance the cause of rats.
Makes perfectly good sense.

[ExCTCitizen]

Will the Greens allow them to vote?

[Iron Munro]

Does this affect Hillary Rodent Clinton in any way at all?

Poisons are inhumane. I always use traps.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Sure, give human rights to the animals that gave us the Black Death. What could go wrong?

[Iron Munro]

Will the Greens allow them to vote?

Here in America the rats vote, have their own political party and even get elected to high office.

[Telepathic Intruder]

A human fetus, however, gets no rights.

Lemmings vote for the Green Party, so this checks out.

Gerbils in their keisters so they can dance better? Well, what happens in GP bathhouses stays in GP bathhouses.

"The first effect of not believing in God is to believe in anything.." G. K. Chesterton. Idiocy, and it will only get worse. I rest my case.

It may be a shock to these wackos, but humans and rodents are different creatures...

You can’t gave a human right to a rodent since human rights are God given and are immutable...

[WorkingClassFilth]

Oh, that’s bad news. In that case, I shoot dozens of people every year.

[jonascord]

Half a century ago, when I would spend my summers at the lake with my grand parents, I would sling my .22 Winchester, stop by the village store for a box of hollow points. I'd go down to the dump and snipe rats.

I didn't know I'm a war criminal. However, in for a penny... So are these childhood skills transferable to Democrats in general? Heaven knows, rats are more functional.

The Won's already Resident of the Kountry -- what rights are there left to give them?

[rey]

When animals have human rights, people may be treated as animals.

[353FMG]

Would probably be an improvement.
