I agree with you.  However, a person and lover of animals can only stand so
much of the mistreatment of these and other beautiful animals.  I started
with ferret math in October.  I've been very active online and the things I
am hearing absolutely horrify me.  The bible also said and eye for an eye.
It takes so long and so much paperwork to nail these idiots, in the mean
time, the abuse continues.  And although I'm not a violent person, I start
to wonder if maybe these people knew what it felt like for instance to have
their teeth clipped with a nail clipper that maybe they would think twice
before inflicting this cruelty on an animal.  I know myself and I would
not stand witness to this without acting out.  That's just me.  I'm not a
violent person, but I will stand up for justice, no matter what.  Blind
eyes have been turning for years as animals have had their tails and ears
docked, (chopped off), claws have been mercilessly ripped from the paws of
cats and good God only knows what else in the name of human convenience,
status and appearance.  Animals have rights too, and I can bet if they had
a voice, they would opt out of having their bodies mutilated...for any
reason.
