Again, with the misplaced dislike, frustration or, dare I say, hatred.

You cede so much power to these organizations. No doubt because the blame for their very existence rests with individuals like Terry Thompson

Put another way: you make victims out of the real perpetrators: the sociopaths, the jerks, the people who treat their animals with little regard if not outright cruelty, and their fellow man likewise.

The Terry Thompsons of the world are the problem. The people who dump their pets in the Everglades and elsewhere are the problem. The puppy mill owners are the problem, the excesses of factory farmers are the problem. If not for people like them, this would be a non-issue.

Duh.

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. ...A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles."
Patrick Henry
