Oooh, I remember when the Michael Vick dogfighting stuff came out. A certain Dwellar (who I won't name but he doesn't come here anymore anyway) was all like "They're just some dogs, man."

In this country animal charities get more money than children's charities.
And you're better off being transported if you're an animal than a human, because they have more laws to safeguard you on your journey (inc breaks, water, maximum travelling time and space per animal.) The again, they're generally off to the slaughterhouse. Although aren't we all? Soylent Green was people, people! Sorry - should I have added a SPOILER tag to that?

SPOILER ALERT
If you haven't yet seen Citizen Kane, Star Wars, or Murder on the Orient Express, disregard...Never mind, if you haven't seen them by now you probably never will.
So: Reminds me of a Cheers episode. Frasier is pissed off about something and shouts the following spoilers: Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father, Rosebud is the name of the sled, and in Murder on the Orient Express, everyone did it!!!! To which Woody replied: Darth Vader can't be Luke's father, they don't even have the same last name. |

Snort. Don't remember the episode but I would almost definitely have seen it.
And I can see it in my mind just from the character names and your description. There's an advert for Netflix on at the mo. Irritates me like a hair in my bra. It's American (NO! Make adverts for your audience!) and the woman talks really fast. I had it on SkyPlus, so I could rewind it. And I did. And I still couldn't get everything she said. And no, it didn't work because I didn't buy. But the premise - which was kinda fun - was that this woman looked over people's shoulders or at their purchases etc and told them the endings. Then when she got home - and there were other people there! how she manage that as such an annoying bi-atch? - she was flicking through Netflix. Seen, seen, seen, oh! not seen! Another lady in the room, who may or may not have wanted to kill her (shiv in back by the end of the night is my guess, given the blankness of her eyes) says, "Her sister is really her Mom." Ha, ha, ha, everyone gets what they deserve. WTF? Am still trying to work out the films and or series. Lost is obvious. And I know I got another one but it's not coming to mind.

I'm against animal abuse, but I think that humans should be valued more under the law than animals.

I think it should go in order of assholiness, like this, from most valued to least valued:
Nice humans Nice animals Asshole humans Asshole animals |

Can't argue with that example.

Animal abusers are sub human wastes of skin. I was irritated with those that are not animal abusers that think one is trying to gossip instead of pass along factual information

Ugh, I'm still a snot machine and coughing up green stuff. I'm taking myself to the doc tomorrow although I don't want to go.

Sorry, but human every time. In a visceral way I'd want to hurt and hurt and hurt anyone who hurt my brother.
But if I want to be part of any kind of society based on Christian values I have to accept that's my hurt and anger talking. Quote:
When I was coughing up wet solids (eeeew) I was sent for an x-ray. Good. But after that I was left to my own devices because it wasn't a tumour. It took four visits to get a diagnosis and the cure was... wait, rest. I'm a moaner, but not a malingerer. They could have told me that from the offset, instead of me carrying on working with the two mile walk that entailed.

studies show that those who abuse animals are considerably more likely than the general population to abuse people ....
Today I've been working with some people on the most recent case out of Quebec: Quote:
Problem is most animal cruelty laws right now are pretty weak, with fairly light sentencing ... animals are still seen as property, not so much as living things. I'm not going to argue (insensibly) that an animal's life is worth more than a child's, but rather that a life is a life... and cruelty and abuse needs to be dealt with in ALL cases in the strongest possible terms

Actually, that's a myth about the animal charities. From an article about a survey from last year: Quote:
I don't know for sure about the laws regulating transport of animals versus transport of humans, but at a guess I'd say that is also more than likely a myth. A bit like the idea that the manufacturing process of animal food is more tightly regulated than human food. I also suspect that those that do exist are not great, easily bypassed and badly enforced.
