I read that the Obama girls finally got their puppy, a six month old Portuguese water dog, a gift from Senator Ted Kennedy. It will be interesting to see if animal activists attack the Obama family the same way they did the Biden family when they went to a breeder to get their new German Shepherd puppy, rather than go to a rescue.
Evidently, the activists verbally attacked the Bidens and the breeder, forcing the breeder to go into hiding because of threats of violence.
Where are peoples priorities? I know there are a lot of animals in shelters because of the irresponsibility of the people who originally took them or breed them and then decided it was more than they could handle. However, if someone wants a pet, be it a dog, cat, horse, cow, hamster or whatever, its their right to get the one they want from the source they want.
What I don't understand is why these animal activists aren't more concerned about the abused and abandoned children in this country. Children in orphanages, children forced to live with abusive parents, drug addicts and alcoholics. Couldn't they put their efforts into updating the human adoption system in this country, rather than get stressed over the animal adoption policy?
Why isn't there an outcry about Americans adopting foreign children - thank you Madonna and Angelina Jolie - rather than helping those here at home, many in situations just as bad, if not worst than those overseas? What is the problem with the adoption policy in this country that we can't take care of our own?
I'm all for animal rights, but human rights should be our priority. Let's get the abandoned and abused children housed and protected, then we can put our efforts into saving the animals.
Its Common Sense!
