However, these stories are another ploy by the left to magnify one story while completely discounting millions of other anecdotes; ones that are positive, because there is an agenda and it is to restrict, control and rule right down to the most personal of decisions.
Another example of this tactic being used is with the illegal immigrants. The other day on the news (radio snippets) they reported that there was a young lady here illegally all of her life and now is being threatened with deportation (insert wahhhh here). She spoke, and of course doesn't want to be deported (insert another wahhhh here) and she is going to medical school (insert 'you stupid gringos, I'm going to be helping you in the future').
These tactics have worked because we've let them. We must take back and control the dialogue with examples of our own.
Geeeezzz guess my coffee kicked in. (sorry)
It's kind of like telling farmers they have to fence along public right away and not let their cows wander.
Or the use of a public dog catcher to catch strays before they turn into road kill and bloat up spraying the neighborhood with puss and stuff.
I do understand why cyclists would rather let the animals just blow up, but that's not the way I ride.
