Animal Rights
You should have seen the T.V. show that was on last night, the topic it covered was really interesting; animal rights.
Do you really believe in that? If they are going to focus on something, they should do it on civil rights. ’
Yes, but we can t deny that animals are vulnerable, defenseless, and are completely at the mercy of human beings.
I understand your point, but we continue to have transgressions against human rights. If so much ’ attention weren t devoted to the topic of animals, we would then concentrate more on saving a human being instead of protecting a koala. ’
You can t compare apples and oranges; I believe that both topics are important and that we ’ can t ignore them, the mistreatment of animals can cause a great environmental imbalance.I believe that governments should prohibit activities like poaching.
Well, you are right on that point. This is the reason ’ that I don t buy leather and I try to buy synthetic products. ’
At least you re doing your part. My contribution is to have a pet in the house that I treat like a member of the family. ’
As long as you don t treat it better than your wife, ’ it s fine.
