:California..the new animal rights batttleground

Vickie forwarded this link. It is worth a read. I particularly like the closing paragraph, especially the last sentence!

It’s possible to be a decent human being without signing a save-the-chickens petition. And kindness to animals – actual flesh-and-blood creatures – is a good thing. Volunteer at your local shelter. Adopt a cat. Get your dog spayed or neutered. Feed your fish. But recognize that extending human “rights” to animals is a truly crazy notion. It’s possible to be so open-minded that your brain falls out.
