Did animal activists cross the line?

"God made us stewards of our animal"

God gave us dominion over animals and we are not to worship them.

When people start placing animals above people, its time to start reaccessing their priorities, IMO.

When people buy animals they are their property and it is none of my business what they do with them.

[Petronius]

I don't "worship" dogs or place them above people, but anyone who torments them is scum and deserves whatever happens to them.

Are you opposed to laws regarding animal cruelty? Will you even concede that it's morally wrong?

"The person asked how I would feel if they cut open my son, Brad, and filled him with poison the way Huntingdon does with the animals," she said, breaking into tears.

I say we fill these eco-terrorists with poison. Lead poison that is. One round at a time.

That Pamelyn Ferding website was a walk down memory lane. And I even learned something. The actor who plays Gorgan (in the worst-rated Star Trek episode) was Jack Ruby's attorney, Melvin Belli. Why do I find such trivia fascinating?

"While you're exactly right, tactically, and while I agree with you that, as RICO is written, these terrorists should be prosecuted under RICO and be doing 30 to life, there's a huge problem here in a larger perspective."

Exactly right. RICO is the law we should also be using against "gang-bangers."

So, of course, being teenagers, we snuck out at night and would hang pieces of meat from her clothesline. (I can't believe I'm writing this...) At the time, it was hilarious.

Actually, it still is. :=)

The Left are bullies. They can't be rational. And so they must force themselves where they are not wanted.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie. Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

It sounds like the illegal immigrant advocates are launching the same tatic against Americans who speak out against illegal immigration. Why did it take this long for these animals to face justice? We had better be on top of the foreigners who stalk, terrorize and attack Americans about illegal immigration.

[William Terrell]

Well, if the animal rights terrorists win, we can target them in precisely the same way, legally. See how they like it.

"Are you opposed to laws regarding animal cruelty?"

No. People should be held responsible for willful and negligent treatment of animals.

"Will you even concede that it's morally wrong?"

Yes, I can concede that. I know a persons' heart by how they treat their animal/s but animals are not moral.

I have two dogs for security and property protection, 15 cats just because I like cats, 1 pig for meat and 30 chickens for eggs and meat. They are all well cared for but there are people who think I am a murderer for killing my chickens. They would consider me immoral and I consider them nuts.

When they go so far as to break out the windows of my home, over turn my truck and invade my and my family's privacy and security/life, I would exercise my moral and legal right.

Like almost all the others targeted by the group, Dillenback, a Marsh executive in Dallas, saw intensely private information about her family posted on the group's Web site. It listed their names, address, home phone number, where their children went to school, and even the name of her son's teacher and the fact that he sings in the choir. Prosecutors say the postings were designed to terrorize the targets, and incite others to commit violence against them. The defendants are charged with animal-enterprise terrorism, conspiracy and interstate stalking.

That's familiar- same tactics as the Newspaper in CT is using against gunowners.
