Our regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein believes we are equal with animals.

He has written that animals should have the right to legal counsel, and should be able to sue us.

For pete’s sake 2012 can you at least ignore a handful of posts.  Silly season-no such thing thanks to trolls like you, we have the unending bs season.

I agree, always learning. I find many animals to be superior to some trolls who post . Maybe the Czar has a point.

Never did understand why the size of the rack mattered.

I boiled those horns for two days once and still couldn’t eat them

Was this a slap at the humane society?

Were you asking about my post or someone else, ynot?

I thought the PETA reference might have been a round about way of throwing a smack at the Humane Society.  It wasn’t said outright but I thought it might have been the intent.  My experience has been that some equate the two and some hunters believe that the two groups should be reviled.  I don’t get PETA but I believe the Humane Society here provides a good service not only to the animals but also the community.

I’m no longer a hunter, ynot. My reference was to a hunter’s obsession with the size of the rack(horns) of the deer when they say they are hunting for the meat. In nature, predators will target the weakest or smallest, not the largest and strongest.

I, too, support the humane society, but find PETA folks to be fanatics.
There is a Huge difference in the two.

It wasn’t about the horns.  I come from a long line of fanatical deer hunters so I know about the thrill of the hunt.  I am very familiar with the passion and joy at the “win” of points.  In fact, our family prefers deer to beef.  I just don’t think that PETA and our local Humane society can be compared.

I hate PETA. I like eating meat, wearing leather, and fur coats are just beautiful and warm. I have hunted and eaten what I killed. I grew up on a farm and killed chickens for Sunday dinner, ate the beef my father raised, even though we had named it and played with the steers all summer long. We learned early on that there was a ‘circle of life’ and it was natural and normal.

PETA members live on vegetables, pills and artificial nutrients. That is not the way God intended us to be.

As far as I’m concerned, they are fanatics with no grasp on the real world.
