I saw nothing in Scott's post to invite such a hostile reply. He was simply
stating his opinion. I do find fault, however, with the assumption that
only people who have been abused have the right to react to abuse! Does
this mean that, if someone witnesses a small child being beaten severely
they can only react if they themselves have been an abuse victim ? That is
a very silly and egotistical notion. No, mosy of us have NOT had all these
adverse life experiences, but we do care about animals and have a pretty
good idea about what is acceptable behavior and how animals should be
treated. And it is our right to be outraged about neglect and/or cruelity,
regardless of our past experiences.
