Animal activist rallies showcase continued pressure on agriculture

Animal Rights Activists consist of those who want NO ANIMAL to be in a yard, confined in any way, to be spayed, neutered or EVER bred.

I was the President of a Southern California group of dedicated and judicious breeders and OWNERS of kennels. Our County Supervisor used one bad case of an importer with too many dogs (all kept quite safely)to mount a campaign to decimate purebred dogs. I despise this infringement on my life and will fight them to the end.

So much of Hollywood ignorantly have their own pocket pooches and insist I have no right to mine that it is ridiculous.

Well we won our arguments about 90 % with animal regulation and Antonovich had Building and Safety step in and lie about their involvement with zoning (outdoor shaded and safely constructed runs) and now good breeders must be rich and have spent months with Building and Safety (even for outdoor kennels and the proper zoning). Building and Safety says their "rules"have existed for years and years (like always) a blatant lie that I, living on social security, and having had at least FIVE kennels over the years cannot even dream of meeting the newest regs of Building and Safety and Animal Regulation does not even enter this equation.

About the Agriculture industry, these wealthy lobbyists have convinced some very good politicians that they are in the right and all animal use must be stopped.

It will take more than the farmer and the breeder to stop this infringement. But where are the people?

Incidentally, Perry of Texas and Rick Santorum have been hoodwinked and signed or backed legislation against the most ethical of breeders and farmers.

Thanks george76.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) hosted its annual Taking Action for Animals Conference in Washington, D.C. on July 15-18, and Farm Animal Rights Movement's Animal Rights 2011 Conference (AR 2011) was held two weeks later on July 21-25 in Los Angeles. Both events claimed to have "record-breaking" attendance, attracting a combined total of more than 1,600 activists from around the world, ranging in age from 20-60 years old. Securing rights for farm animals and the promotion of a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle to the mainstream public were hot topics at both meetings.

I think I’d rather eat activists.

Most of them probably weren't raised by Euell Gibbons. Put a little "pressure" on them, say like the Zombie Apocalypse, and they'll be happy to eat you.

Plus they smell funny when they’re near you in the health nut store.

WHY, are you in the health nut store????
