An animal is not the same thing
as an unborn human child. How silly to compare the two.
Animal treatment
I have to agree with you there. While I am neither PETA nor vegetarian either, the treatment of animals in this country is horrible for the most part. And those of us who do try to help the homeless animals cannot get any assistance either. For example, some jerk in my area dumped out thirteen coon hounds in my area. Of thirteen, two made it to my house (i'm in the country). I counted five on the side of the road, dead, and i have no idea what happened to the others. The two that made it to my home were not neutered/spayed (one male, one female). When I called the humane society, they told me that I did not qualify for the low income spay/neuter program (I guess the 24,000 we made last year is not considered low income) and that I would have to pay about 200 each to get them spayed. When I told them I couldn't afford this and that these dogs were strays that I was just trying to help, they told me if I brought them there they would more than likely be euthanized!
In the end I ended up finding a man to take them who treats his hunting dogs like family members, and he called me awhile ago to tell me they were worth their weight in gold and he had them both fixed.
But not all animals end up that way. Most end up euthanized because some jerk owner decides he doesn't want them anymore and dumps them.
Sorry if I'm ranting, but with all this country has, can't we treat "man's best friend" a little better? Not just dogs, but all animals.
You don't think you're better than an animal

For any and all animal lovers. sm
I am a member of Defenders of Wildlife. This is a copy of an e-mail to that I was sent about Palin and the wolf hunting. The link on the bottom is the link to the TV commercial that members donated for to be shown. I am not sure where all it will be shown but in case it isn't in your area you might want to check it out. It makes me sad watching it as I love all animals, never wear leather or fur and am vegan.
Hi,
Have you ever heard of aerial hunting? It's a brutal practice. Wolves are shot from low-flying aircraft or chased to exhaustion, then killed at point-blank range.
Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican nominee for Vice President, promotes this barbaric practice, exploiting a loophole in the Federal Airborne Hunting Act to allow private wolf killers to shoot down wolves using aircraft. To encourage the killing, she even proposed a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf!
We have to get the word out about this! Please watch this powerful new television ad by Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, and then share it with every wildlife lover you know:

From Animal Farm:
All [animals/people/whatever] are equal, only some are more equal than others.... George Orwell again, was this guy prophetic, or what?
Whether it's politicians or Hollywood, THEY need to consume much many of the world's resources in order to get the word out to YOU poor fools who do not know how to conduct your personal lives in the 'green' way. Lead by example, you say? How could you possibly begrudge them their private jets and motorcades when these are necessary to spread the information about switching to CFL light bulbs?
Ok sorry, Animal House parties - is that better?

The polygamy and animal arguments are irrelevant
Seriously. Being gay is not a religious belief. It's who a person is. Polygamy is a religious practice, or a component of a religious practice. Polygamy is not a "group of people." One has absolutely nothing to do with the other. I won't even go into the animal thing I hear all the time. That's just crazy. People whose minds go straight from gay marriage to animal and multiple marriage are the scary people. Not gays. We just want to be left the heII alone to live our lives as we see fit just like everyone else without religious or any other type of interference that is uninvited. Those beliefs are about you. No one else.
you can buy a valentine's stuffed animal if it has candy attached to it! nm
