Never be silent!!

I can agree with most of what you said.
Another favorite group for the Animal-rights extremists to attack is varmint hunters. Guys who shoot ground squirrels, prairie dogs, coyotes, etc. Ground squirrels and prairie dogs can absolutely ruin a ranch or orchard, in short order. For instance, let's say you have an almond orchard in California. Let's say a single ground squirrel eats 3 lbs of almonds from your orchard per month. They will probably eat more than that. Take that times a thousand, spread it out over about 9 months, look up the current price of almonds, and calculate the loss. Then understand that they multiply at lightning speed. How do you stay in business and produce the almonds people eat? Shoot the varmints.



Like I said, population control-- no issues with that -- as long as its humane.
I have more of a problem with the guy buying dogs and then neglecting it than the farmer protecting his crops from vermin.
Again to me animal cruelty is making an animal suffer uneccesarily for sport or amusement or neglect.
