Ann, I said that as a question, rhetorically, in that post. It ends in a question mark.
It is senseless to be militant about the rights of animals when humans are what deserve true compassion.
There are some humans who don't deserve any compassion. "If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow men." -St. Francis of Assisi
