Well, this is certainly an enlightend thread. I happen to be one of those oddities who is both conservative and an animal rights activist. I find the vitrol on this thread interesting since the anger and insults appear way over the top of what I normally see on this site. It appears someone who can take a stand for animals is much more of a threat to you folks that a liberal, wow, hard to believe. So if eating meat and wearing fur is one of your God given rights and you are unwilling or unable to allow for a different viewpoint then pity you. But as one of the posters wrote, I love to stir you closed minded types up too.
Taking a stand for animals has nothing to do with it. I'm for animal rights myself. There is a right way and a wrong way to deal with people to get your point across. These people crossed the line from legitimate protest to terror tactics and stalking in short order. They are your typical leftist, My Way Only, narrow minded hypocrites. They don't give a damn animals either. It's all about controlling what others do.
What "rights" do animals have? From whence do those rights arise?
