More of my point. We hold dogs is high esteem, as we should. As we should any
animal. Treat them all humanely, cherish all animals. Many of the lists and
pages to which I subscribe are horse, goat, cattle for consumption pages and
lists. We are in a culture that raises some animals above others. Not wrong,
not right, just … is. But to attempt to put our personal beliefs on others
because of OUR personal beliefs is the same as telling people what to eat and
in what belief system to follow. This started because a very rich man decided
the owner of HIS breed should not have the right to sell off her dogs in a
manner that was legal.
