When the Animal Rights Activists came for the unlicensed puppy mills,When they confiscated dogs from those who had one too many for their local ordinances,
I remained silent;
I was not over my local limit of dogs.
When they came for the Pit Bulls similar breeds,
I did not speak out;
I was not an owner of a Bully breed.
When they came for the Commercial Breeders,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Commercial Breeder.
When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out……(Author Unknown)
It’s 2009 , Our country has come full circle with everyone having tolerance and acceptance, we are just 2 seconds from total Utopia?
Well then, what in the world was the KKK doing at this years Westminster?
PETA thought it would be a great idea to imitate the KKK and protest Pure Bred dogs, Dog Ownership and of course those evil dog breeders. PETA equates all forms of dog ownership as slavery so the KKK costumes seemed like a good visual analogy of their goals of eliminating dog slavery in the United States.
I intentionally left out the photos of PETA’s KKK protest, because I find the imagery to be foul and offensive.
Over at the Endangered Owner blog, they equate The Humane Society of the US (HSUS) and PETA’s rhetoric as poison kool aid (thus the anti kool aid logo);
- It Looks Good
- It Smells Good
- It Tastes Great
- ….but over time it will kill you.
I think that is a brilliant little logo and comparison.
For those of us who DO love our pets and love all dogs it is so easy to be convinced into drinking the PETA Kool Aid and not really reading the label!
Currently, HSUS and PETA are trying to get hundreds of bills passed all over the United States. All these bills are labeled Anti Puppy Mills or Spay/Neuter campagns, which of course look good, smell good and taste great but……what road are they leading us down?
The Anti Puppy Mill bills especially complex me, of course none us want puppy mills! Puppy Mills are evil, yes of course we agree. But, Puppy Millers already know they are doing wrong, Puppy Millers don’t follow ANY laws and ANY law aimed at them is simply going to be avoided as every other law that applies to them!
Are Puppy Mills going to just cease once these supposed bills are passed ? No, they will go further and further underground and become more and more turbulent and evil!
Education is the answer -
- Education to all Americans about not buying pets from pet stores, or outside grocery store parking lots !
- Education to all Americans about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets!
- Education to all Americans about the responsibilities of raising a pet properly.
- Education, education, education
Why can’t the time, effort and money spent towards lobbysist and bill creation go to creating 30 second and 60 second Public Service Announcements ? Creating school education campagns to education children about Pet Safety?
Wouldn’t that be better than dressing up like the KKK ?
Take a moment and visit The Endangered Owner’s Blog and tell your local representatives that passing bills to govern pet ownership isn’t the answer!
