Don’t beg for rights. Take them. Only buy foods that are labeled Certified Organic or GMO-FREE. Grow your own organic food and save seeds. Genetic contamination forever, so be a survivor.

Comment on Senator against resumption of horse slaughter by laura johnson

laura johnson — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 02:45:48 +0000

I feel as adult that we are responsible for our children, our cats, dogs and any thing that we adopt and bring into our home. It is not ok to dump an animal, abandon an animal or kill them because you want something a different color or does a special trick. Long heads/old Tenn walkers were out and the short headed, was in. I bought that long headed mare and her disappointing foal and brought them home. The mare had once been a prized show horse, beloved and wanted but not any more except by me.
Few humans ever see the kind of devotion a animal has to its off spring, or recognize when they mourn the death of their own baby or friend. I witnessed two filly’s run a pasture to rescue a young colt from a group of geldings. I watched them silently signal each other and come around on each side to run him to safety, that was a miracle for me, it was devotion for them.
How can we in this toss it away society ever appreciate the real meaning of being loved by our pets or our children.
Every person who votes for slaughter needs to stand at the horses side, hear the animal call out in pain, thrash their bodies against the floor and watch alive as their own foal is being gutted from their body.
We have lost the most precious gift in life, we have lost our compassion and from what I see in Washington, we have and continue to destroy the gifts of this nation and its legacy of honor.

Comment on DOL to re-propose ‘parental exemption’ by John Wills

John Wills — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 18:07:17 +0000

The thing we in agriculture have failed to point out well here, these proposed ruling changes by DOL are not just about young people on the farm. This affects my neighbors child who wants to mow my or your yard and many other urban children in other working inviornments.
Takes away some of the best workforce training the world has ever known.
In a time when many are worried the development of our children this is a step in the wrong direction.
We have failed to make this public knowledge in urban America.

Comment on Supreme Court overturns California downer law by Pat

Pat — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 22:18:53 +0000

Wayne Pacelle really expects the Supreme Court to support his political agenda. He’s 2 for 2 now – two big losses, 9-0 here and 8-1 in the poorly crafted 2010 Crush Video case.

HSUS is not allowed to be doing anywhere near this much lobbying. Wayne really thinks he is above the law.
