It saddens me that the FML is once again being used to propagate the animal rights agenda. This forum is being used again to repeat the propaganda of PETA, HSUS, Voice, FFA, and other anti-pet groups seeking to legislate pets into a distant memory. Yes, close down all breeding facilities that are controlled by government regulations. Yes, stop shipping any animals for any purpose. Yes, close all the pet stores, bad and good alike. Yes, stop all medical research using animals as models. Yes, spay and neuter all pets into nonexistence. Yes, stop animal ownership (enslavement). A boy is a dog, is a rat; we are all animals and are all equals. "Eventually companion animals will be phased out and we will return to a more symbolic relationship-enjoyment at a distance." Ingrid Newkirk, Founder, PETA Those who want to propagate the AR philosophy, please explain the whole agenda, not just the parts you want the new subscribers to read. BIG, I know you care about the quality of subject matter discussed in this listing. I don't advocate censorship, but I do think that the AR agenda belongs on their sites and not on this one. I understand your tolerance to a point; It is now time to shut it down! Dooks and Blessings, Rick [Posted in FML issue 3623]
