The legislation, which will be introduced in the next session, would impose fines and jail time on violators, Sen.

They will simply scurry off to their think tanks and Fox News. Just because McCain and Palin lost this time around doesn't mean we can let our guard down.

They decided to study foxes, which are closely related to wolves and dogs. The Russians began by breeding a group of foxes according to one simple rule: they would walk up to a cage and put a hand on the bars. Foxes that slunk back in fear and snapped their teeth didn’t get to breed. Meanwhile, the scientists also raised a separate group of foxes under identical conditions, except for one difference: they didn’t have to pass a test to mate.

For me, I've been deluged for months by Defenders of Wildlife material about Alaska's heartless treatment of wolves. Treatment headed by this woman's administration. Now, she's a Vice-Presidential candidate. Yikes!

Man-hunting is ruled out as a sport but not, at least with the same degree of unanimity, fox or bird hunting. Once a definite social movement got under way in the West with its objective the restricting of man's treatment of animals, it moved with relative rapidity. Moral philosophers began to regard it as an obvious truth that it is wrong to treat animals cruelly.
