So, if you think it is Ok to continue feeding the French and Asians our horses, I pity you.

I appreciate your pity, but it's misplaced. I didn't advocate eating Trigger, I just pointed out the answer to what happens to the dead horses.

I don't sell my cats to Asian restaurants when they get sick and old, I treat them like the pets they were and send them off to Animal Heaven where they run and play with all the other little dead kitties and puppies on a big old farm run by a kindly old [presumably also dead] lady.

Unless that bastard at the animal shelter has been lying to me all the time, anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I love animals. I think cruelty to animals sucks. But I don't listen to lectures from "animal righst activists", because I think that as a group, you are a pretty loopy lot.

I see you just joined today. Welcome to FR. Have a nice New Year.

Thanks for the welcome and I may be in the whole "loopy lot" but that is fine by me. I live my life by compassion. I try not to preach but to educate. Yes I do feel some groups take extreme measures and wrong causes, BUT on the flip side there are advocates for humans equally extreme. What about; Anti abortionist killing doctors and bombing clinics, gays being beaten,affirmative action can anyone just get a job, promotion, or education on actual merit anymore?, etc. etc. We all have causes we fight for, some are more extreme than others. If you did a study most animal activists are peace loving and even the ALF which does use force for animal liberation does not injure people. What makes our country so great and so unique is we have the power to stand up for our beliefs and voice them without risk of persecution.
