Restaurants and Grocery stores affected by spay/neuter program?
Judy Hill wants you to know that she has a response to the new pet regulations that the city of Sikeston, Missouri is talking about. And, she wants you to know that it isn't just about Sikeston, it's about the country as a whole. Here's what she had to say: "In response to the story "Sikeston seeks public input on new railroad, pet regulations": If this proposition to spay and neuter all dogs were to spread to the rest of the country, there would be no more service dogs, no more search and rescue dogs, no more dogs to help with cattle and other livestock. What are you thinking? Have you thought of the consequences? Have you been taken in by the animal rights movement of the Humane Society of the U.S. and PETA?

The Persian Cat Theory…
So, the Oregon State Fair officials want to protect their pigs from sick people: "Help us protect the piggies," (from swine flu). I think a more real threat to the piggies would be the "pork producing" animal exploiters who torture "harvest" over 100 million of the intelligent animals per year in the United States.

And this statement, "To keep illness from spreading back to home farms, some fairs discourage farmers from showing any animals that are not “terminal,” due to be slaughtered right after the fair", is disturbing at [...]

Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle gives us a detailed, gruesome picture of the meat-packing industry. An excerpt: Here were the chute, with its river of hogs, all patiently toiling upward; there was a place for them to rest and cool off, and then through another passageway they went into a room from which there is no returning for hogs. It was a long, narrow room, with a gallery along it for visitors. At the head there was a great iron wheel, about twenty feet in circumference, with rings here and there along its edge. Upon both sides of this wheel there was a narrow space, into which came the hogs at the end of their journey; in the midst of them stood a great burly Negro, bar-armed and bare-chested. He was resting for the moment, for the wheel had stopped while men were cleaning up. In a minute or two, [...]
