In Animal Welfare, we often blame companies such as Walt Disney for the stupidity of the animal rights movement. The truth is, it has nothing to do with Disney or any other entertainment company.
Do we blame Beatrix Potter, the Brothers Grimm, or. Mother Goose? Of course not!
As a child, I believed that, if you listed intently enough, you would hear mice whisper softly to one another so that we humans couldn't hear them and know they could talk. Which is ridiculous, if you think about is because if we knew of that sort of sentience, we would no longer kill their kind. We could talk our way out of any dispute and share our bounty. Mice cannot talk because they haven't the intelligence. They are animals and as such, should be treated as animals.
I grew out of the phase of believing in fairy tales, such as mice which could talk or cats that played the piano. Most of us do grow out of it, but we now have a sort of eternal child on our hands, a Peter Pan, which refuses to believe that an animal is anything else. They believe animals are human, victims of an uncaring human race which sets out to torture and kill them for our personal use. The truth is, the same could be said for plants or anything else that may or may not be living. There are even those who object to killing viruses and bacteria!
Animal Rights Fanatics are unruly children and need to be handled as such. Even their bullying and vandalism are like the actions of a rebellious teenager who cannot tell the difference between hormones and passion, between rebellion and having a mind of their own.
They need to be stopped before they hurt themselves.
And everybody else.
