Interesting that when politicians “wipe” their hard drives and destroy their emails it’s ok but when “activists” do it it’s “circumstantial evidence of their agreement to participate in illegal activity,”

Your beliefs and the belief that animals have rights equal to humans is the problem as you are interfering with our property rights. Nature has made animals for humans as we were born omnivores and several nutrients that our bodies need can only be gotten from animals. The very idea that we should have to think twice about killing a predator that comes after us or our families is ridiculous. By giving animals rights because they cannot even conceive of rights is also being a traitor to your own biological species. The concept of animals having rights other than what we give them is bizarre. No animal is going to walk up to you and thank you for this or even care. In fact by doing this you condemn several species to extinction. Notice that by farming buffalo this almost extinct species was brought back in full force because it has a purpose in nature now as it did in the days of the native americans. The reason we can't keep tigers from going extinct is that they serve no purpose to be kept from going extinct. So where is the biggest breeding program of Tigers? In China where they are bred for a purpose and this will prevent them from becoming extinct. In the other parts of the world they are dropping like flies in the population. Animal rights is anti human and anti environmentalism as the most natural relationship and most biodegradable relationship that is long term sustainable is between humans and animals. Plants require too much fertilizer, too much water, and too much pesticides to think you can feed 8 Billion people on just plants alone. Removing the best form of protein from the diets of people is insane.

Francis. Why dont you take some time and watch the HLS footage of the thousands of illegal and horrific acts upon animals in their labs. Watch that suffering and then lets talk. I seriously doubt you have seen the primates with their chest cavities cut wide open, hearts exposed and beating with no anesthesia. Watch that and then comment about thuggery.
