I hope this isn't against the rules or anything, but I wanted to make a thread about animal welfare and animal rights organizations. Just want some thoughts and opinions on them. Personally, I don't agree with most of the ideas these groups spread, but I'm trying to keep an open mindset. I'm a hunter, fisher, and I keep pets, some of which might be considered exotic. I love and take care of all my animals, yet I still run into conflict with animal rights/welfare organizations. It seems like they are always looking to make a problem. Please keep it civil so the thread isn't closed, but I'm very eager to hear ideas and stories.
