OK, here is my venting/opinions-and-advice seeking thread.
I have a good friend who is pretty much becoming a big animal rights activist. She is mad that the circus is coming to town, to the point that she plans on taking a bunch of people to the venue and taking pictures, trying to find some sort of animal neglect/abuse.
i just don't see the big issue here. I know how stringent the laws against animal cruelty are today, and I am even a bit surprised that they still allow them to use wild animals, such as tigers and lions, in this litigous world we live in. But do you think it's a bit too far, to go out there and pick them apart?
I don't know. Something about this whole thing bugs me. I don't know how to reply when she starts talkin about this stuff; if I REALLY say what's on my mind, I will probably lose ehr friendship, and I don't want that. But I see this could become a big wall in between us; her being a vegetarian/PETA type person, and me being a redneck chick who cooks deer meat and keeps pythons.
