I absolutely support animals being treated humanely and with respect and dignity, but their nonsense positions about going vegetarian, not wearing fur, and eliminating animal testing in medical and scientific research makes me want to have nothing to do with them. I appreciate that their efforts raise awareness of, and help curb some, animal abuse, and that there are guidelines in place in research to limit animal use as much as possible due to the efforts of groups such as these, but that's as far as it goes with me. Extremists are morons.
(P.S. Let's not agree with each other too many times, it will ruin my image)
rofllol Absolutely agreed, it would ruin my reputation!
See this isn't typical of the left, blindly believing in "pipe-dream ideologies" and tossing common sense out the window. Maybe a little more listening, and a little less categorizing/stereotyping (of any group/side) would lead to some greater dialog and discovery of goals and beliefs in common.
Or maybe I'm just in a good mood.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
