I live in NY state, and I am a dog owner, cat owner, reptile owner and breeder, Father of 4 children and husband of one wife. I say this to share some info. I am also a licensed animal trapper. Over the past 20 years I have had way too many dealings with animal activists...the sad thing is most of them are people just like you and I but are totally unaware of what they are doing, or saying. I understand most people get their emotional feelings involved when they think of the death of an animal, however animals are to be managed by humans and used as a renuable resource. When a fox dies from mange or rabies, or starvation, it is not a pretty sight. Most of these diseases are the cause of over-population. Mother nature does not hold back from cruelty by any means. They die a horible death...but we humans never see it happen and so that makes it ok. Trappers cull off the over-population, there-by creating a more vibrant healthy animal due to a population that the habitat can support. Food becomes more plentiful for the animals...and healthy breeding takes place to cause substantial increases in litter size! A father and son team I know personally in Maryland, trap 1000 plus red fox every year, within several hundred miles of their farm year after year...the healthy population keeps growing as long as it is managed.
Why am I saying all this??
The animal rights agenda is not only to stop you from eating chicken, beef whatever.
Wearing leather, fur,or feathers....but their agenda is to take your dogs, cats, reptiles, any animal you could name! They do not even want you to own a bearded dragon...imagine that!
They do not want us feeding mice or rats or bunnies to our snakes, and absolutely no guinea pigs!....maybe they should eat carrots??
Education is the key here. Keep your feelings out of it...ask yourself what is really best? Then follow through. Hope you all understand my intent here. Andy Federico
