“The problem is the whole mindset from Dr. Spock days, lending them to stupid thinking.”
OH....I AGREE WITH YOU!, but the last couple of times I posted that same conclusion, the FR rabid response team went into action defending the misguided Dr.
Seems even some “Conservatives” swallowed hook, line and sinker Dr. Spocks tripe.
The cartoon characters I referenced IMO do apply to the problem as well though. Kids grow up in homes other than yours, or mine without appropriate input from their parents. This seems to me to be proven time and again as we read articles of idiots attempting to approach, pet wild animals only to be shocked by the animals aggression, or become extremely dead, and the animal demeaned, or killed for its unacceptable behavior.

Ironically, this is seen on the pet threads where half the population seems to think that even giving a dog a dirty look is “cruel”.
Plenty of “Republicans” have been too influenced by the pop-culture media never mind their own liberal neighbors. Peer pressure has made them believe the same garbage about never lay a finger on a kid or an animal, never train them because it might hurt their spirit, etc. You can see this generally in liberal states such as mine, where most Republicans are actually RINOs who go along with alot of liberal premises.
