Animals (not the Pink Floyd album)
I’m sorry, but animal rights activists are going to have to be put on the back burner for the moment. With two wars, an economy teetering on depression, global financial crisis, a warming climate, overpopulation, and even part of our human population devoid of their natural civil rights (gays, lesbians), there is little room in the agenda for passing any meaningful legislation conserving, or moreso progressing animal rights. If you want to include any amendments in bills concerning conservation of human-based ecosystems, the more power to ya. I’m sure there’s a way. But there are enough problems plaguing human beings for the PETA lobby or whoever the hell represents these different organisms to be heard. So for now, cage sizes will remain small while you can go walk your dog and feed your cat IAMS (unless they’re contaminated, which is yet another issue to add to our list). Maybe lobby through the FDA?
