Nope. Never have. And I do NOT support them. Battery maybe. But sorry, NOT murder. JMHO though.
You're opinion would probably impress most "pro-choice" people and make them happy to hear you utilize one of their memes.
Wow! Attack! It's OK, I expected it. Nope, not "pro-choice" at all. In fact, I am very much "pro-life". For PEOPLE!!! I don't anthropomorphise animals, or trains, or helicopters. OK, maybe a little bit with some machines, but never animals. Read my tagline.
The last time I checked a "police helicopter" doesn't learn, think, feel pain, breath, eat, drink.....etc. So you're equation of one "tool" to the other is most definitley your "opinion". But then again, those are the traits that pro-choice people like to say babies in the womb don't have either.
Hmm; Touche. But it (a helicopter) is a valuable resource, and incredibly fascinating to me. And infinitely more harder to replace from a financial standpoint. But a dog is a living being, I understand that. I just don't share your incredible defense of an animal. That's OK! We just have different opinions on what is important to us.
BTW, I have very specific ideas about people and especially babies in the womb, etc. I would defend their rights the same way I would (and do) defend any helpless HUMAN.
I know many people have strong feelings about dogs. (and cats, horses, chickens etc.) I do not wish or cause any undo harm or abuse to animals. I just don't share your feelings. That's OK too!
Unlike fetuses, dogs never become human. So the argument that dogs aren’t human and therefore shouldn’t be allotted the same level of legal protection stands to reason. Otherwise we risk abusing the rights of humans where crimes against animals occur.
