Big game hunters don't say they killed their prey. They say they "took" it. When they say they "took the trophy" they mean they sawed its head off. It's bad enough that they kill these magnificent animals, but they feel the need to sanitize their actions. Pussies with guns!

an abomination and the end of the world as we know it. But I do not feel close to fine. Killing animals for fun/sport is mentally and morally deviant. I so wish there really was a hell that souls would burn in.

Told my husband, "Most likely the end of the world soon."
I don't see how it can be sustained too much longer.

I personally cannot abide the continual atrocities and destruction by a main 'agent' and his 'workers of iniquity'.

Look what passed in the House today. "Call your Senators and tell them.....!"

I'll do this again and again and again, but it's getting to me. We got two repub senators.

God Almighty, You are seeing this. Work it out for us, QUICKLY. Please!

it's cruelty or perceived cruelty to animals. This is a relatively little thing, but will be a very big deal to all animal lovers.

I’ve got about 30 years in Animal Rescue and I’ve never found any of my Republican acquaintenaces to be very concerned about animal welfare or Mother Earth in general. Most of them believe that animals exist for, and to be used by, man.

But I stand by my statement. Every vote that relates to animal welfare, Republicans vote against the interests of animals. Knowledgeable and informed Animal activists know this and cast their ballots accordingly.

Peace.

Scum, and should be hunted down themselves.

Yes, I said it. No, I don't regret it.
