“We cannot keep pretending that nostalgia is worth more than human life or animal safety.”

@LuckyHoofer@DinnerWed@bellac1617 Did banning cockfighting causes chickens to go extinct? A lot of places have banned fur farming. Did that make mink or fox go extinct? Nope? Hmmm. Try again.
@bellac1617@LuckyHoofer I didn't say you actively abused him. I said someone who denies heat exhaustion can kill horses shouldn't have a horse. If you have a child in elementary school, maybe you can read one of their textbooks to improve your reading skills.
@bellac1617@LuckyHoofer You don't think past incidents count? Seriously? How did Ryder die?
Your reading comprehension is so poor that you think I am coming after your horses because I pointed out they aren't safe with a bad owner who thinks horses can't overheat.
@bellac1617@LuckyHoofer Horses that drop dead in the street did not just die of natural causes. That is very different than passing away in ones sleep or succumbing to cancer. I am amazed you don't understand the difference.
@bellac1617@LuckyHoofer Past incidents. Are you under the impression that horses can't overheat? If so, please sell your horses to someone else as they are not safe with you.
Lab animals deserve a second chance at life. Not a death sentence.
Our Violet's Law amendment included in the House-passed Farm Bill requires federal agencies to prioritize adoption over euthanasia for lab animals no longer needed for research.
These labs are putting down dogs, cats, hamsters, and rabbits on the taxpayer's dime. Simply because no one made finding them a home a priority or a requirement. Our amendment says no more.
A healthy animal should never be euthanized when a loving home is waiting. Never.
