new website

[corgipower]

My new website project is here stop animal rights (http://stopanimalrights.com/).

There is currently only one page up. I will be working on adding to it over the next few days.

I would love to have input on it or articles, pictures, stories submitted by anyone interested.

Anyone that wants to help with the site in any way, please feel free to contact me.

The site looks very professional and the information is good.

However I would personally write a more balanced review of animal rights somewhere within the site. Philosophically the animal righters have a consistent, logical stand, imho. I think you need to clearly outline their idea that animals have equal rights to humans. Then show the results of this kind of thinking- no meat, leather, honey, roads, construction, pets. Then show how they try to gain financial support without revealing the full extent of their political goals.

If peeps believe in animal rights, I have no problem with them. As long as they are strict vegans with no pets. The despicable people are the ones who fuel their anti-pet agenda through financial support from pet lovers. They (PETA and the like) never explain the logic of their plans in a way that people can easily choose to truly support or truly fight against them. This is their power. And this is what needs attacked. Don't fight the emotional argument exclusively- it's been done to death.

Fight the logical argument- does it make sense for us to sacrifice our agenda as humans? Should we crawl back into the jungles and live as chimps because we feel sorry for who we are? Are dogs captives or a symbiotic species evolved to live with us and be kept as "pets"? Would we even have succeeded as we have without our amazing ability to form cooperative relationships with dogs, cats, horses, cattle, etc? There are new studies coming out that reveal the extent to which our relationships with dogs shaped our evolution. I'm bad at links and citing sources, but I've read several things recently that supported that notion. I remember, bc it's an idea I've long believed- without dogs to hunt, herd and protect we would be a different animal altogether. We need dogs. Living without them would be a sad statement on our "progress".
