Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Such a record of criminal cruelty would make anyone unfit for office; make it known on his posters just what sort of a man is asking for people's votes.
‘People who consume animal products must bear responsibity for the cruelty inflicted on any animal reared or kept for that purpose."
That sort of extremist blather diverts attention away from the case.
(When you wear a pair of wollen socks you are "consuming animal products.")
Please explain why a person who pays for a product resulting in abuse should not bear the moral responsibility for said abuse, particularly when said abuse is common knowledge or at least known to the consumer?
I am asking for a logical argument. I do not want emotion/opinion etc. Please give me clear logic.
I ask because once I saw my role in this abuse I changed my habits as a consumer so as to cause the least damage.... I wonder how anyone can not do the same once abuse is made known...
Once again you seem to have a contrary view (that it is ok to support at least some abuse in some way...?) and I would like to hear the logic of that.
Thank you.
I suspect that you own a cat..........Catlady.
Do you not see that you are cruelly imprisoning that cat when it should be free,as nature intended ,out in the wild mountains..being cruel,as all cats are, to mice and birds etc..

Incidentally,the animal rights movement (RSPCA) was founded by an Irishman from Connemara, "Humanity Dick" Richard Martin.
He was the MP for Galway in the British parliament.
See:
http://www.animallaw.info/historical/articles/arukrspca...t.htm
His house in Connemara is still there:

"The RSPCA was founded in 1824 by an Irish M.P. named Richard ("Humanity Dick") Martin and several other animal-rights activists, the society is the oldest of its kind. With more than 4,000 branches in Britain and 19 Commonwealth countries, it maintains a powerful lobby in Parliament. The society's annual budget of $2,800,000 is the envy of the much smaller N.S.P.C.C. (National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children), which combats Britain's severe child-beating problem. "We're not a particularly affectionate race," explains R.S.P.C.A. Chairman John Hobhouse. "Perhaps we fall back, then, on this affection for animals.".
.
You suspect wrong.... I do not own a cat, or any other animal.
I note that you have not replied to my post but rather prattled on about Animal Rights, the RSPCA and childbeating in the UK... I fail to see any point you might be trying to make by referring to ineffectual foreign welfare organisations (and their budgets) as they have nothing to do with either the Irish situation, nor the post at hand.
