[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 304722, member: 3162"] Some things will not change. A horse gets hit by a car and is obviously dying. Suffering needlessly. It is now illegal for me to put a bullet in his head and end his misery. So you can put me in jail because I won't let him suffer. At the same time we continually see some old lady on the news that has 190 house cats living in her home. She can no longer afford to feed them. Then we see horses on the news that someone is starving to death. Hay has gone sky high and now you hear about ladies trading - lets just say ANYTHING - for hay for the horses they so dearly love. Something needs to be done about these people. But that doesn't mean passing legislation that precludes good people from doing the right thing. I too can look myself in the eye in the mirror. There is no problem with me standing before a jury of my peers either. Doing the right thing is simply that. You cannot mandate ethics. Some people just don't have them. Passing all inclusive laws for everyone because a few folks don't have ethics is not the solution. [/QUOTE]
