I'm a libertarian. I don't think that animals have rights, in the sense of inviolable rights like life liberty &c., and I really don't think it falls under the government's purview to protect them. Animal cruelty horrifies and saddens me, yes, as it does any person who isn't a sociopath, but I can't bring myself to see increased government control as any kind of a victory.
And I want names of those people who voted Yes on both 2 and 8. I want to call them up and ask them what the fuck they were thinking. If you believe animals have rights and want to protect them, that is a position I can understand and respect if not support. It's when you want to protect the rights of your next hamburger while shitting all over the rights of your next-door neighbor that I want to get What the Fuck on your ass.
