Doh get meh wrong. I love animals but there some recent ideology that really had me thinking twice about whether we've gone too far with animal rights.
There's a new campaign I've been seeing that calls for animals not be regarded as property, that we are merely their guardians.
Come again? I'm just their guardian but then in the next breath u'll tell me to go have them neutered.
Then I saw a documentary about whale culling in Faroe Islands. These ppl kill pilot whales for food. Quickly and humanely as possible. The meat isnt exported but rather is shared among the villages to help them get through the tough winter months. Its not a commercial enterprise and yet there are still those who would critisize about an animal's right to live. Granted, it was hard to watch, as hundred of whales were beached and slaughtered with the sea turning red. But its a question of survival and according to their records, the same amount of whales has been killed for about 400 years since the days of the vikings. So really...
Isnt there a point where common sense takes over?
