This movement *may* have started out with that intention, but it has been totally corrupted. Animal "rights" is now about control of people's personal property... as in, what dogs truly are. Nobody wants to see animals be abused. Unfortunately, that's not what today's animal activists care about. They are all about control and, eventually, taking away your right to own the dog breed of your choice by ending all dog (and cat) breeding! First, they'll go after the purebreds. But eventually, they'll get around to ALL domestic animals. --> I was about to give the definition of ANimal Rights. Animals cannot have rights, but they need to be protected from abuse. THEY CANNOT HAVE RIGHTS. The above definition is perfect! Doc Zoe Wynsum http://wynsumgsd.com To ALL: In my personal opinion, and take it for whatever it is worth...Every Living thing on this Earth has RIGHTS!!! . RIGHTS to be free from Abuse by those more Powerful.. Free to forage for food and shelter for themselves and their young.. With DOGS AND DOMISTICATED ANIMALS that WE Control, and CAGE and virtually HOLD CAPTIVE, then we should be Kind and Loving Caregivers and Caretakers. Otherwise, we disentegrate into unthinking and uncaring and unloving , voracious ' Beasts' far worse than anyone of us could imagine...JMO Barb Williams ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
