Animal Rights

Top 10 things you will never hear an AR say

10. Shelter dogs can have problems; they aren't for everyone.

9. Your animals are kind of a mess. I know you mean well so we're
going to get you some help.

8. Mandatory spay/neuter is a lousy idea. If all dogs are sterilized,
where will the puppies come from?

7. We're firing all the lobbyists and lawyers and we're going to put
the money into training animal control workers, improving shelters,
and organizing transport programs.

6. We're good at raising money but we don't know much about animals.

If you want advice about animal policy, you should talk to an
experienced breeder, rescuer, or farmer of that species.

5. Animals aren't human; only humans can have rights.

4. We have too many laws about animals. Most owners are trying to do
the right thing anyway.

3. You're such a good breeder I wish you would have litters more often.

2. It's not the number of pets, it's the care they receive.

And at the very top of the list:

1. We're going to be proposing a law to make it easier and more fun
for people to own pets.
