Our goal is not to improve the treatment of pets, but to end their ownership altogether. Pets are slaves. Dogs must disappear from our homes where they are held prisoner. We do not seek larger, cleaner cages, we seek empty cages. We must eliminate zoo's and aquariums and release their prisoners back into their wild environment.
Justice demands a complete end to all use of animals for food.
These are but a few of the recorded statements of animal rights groups. As stated these groups are large and powerful, both financially and politically. They contribute to campaign efforts of individuals seeking public office. As a result, when an official is elected they are indebted to those organizations, and will be receptive to their wishes. Sadly it is how the system works.
