Question
my names sara clark i attend hunting high school and i have a asignment on animal rights and have to ask 3 experts. I thought what better peole to ask about this then people that know so much about them. by any chance could you share with me your points of veiw about this topic (animal rights).
do you have knowledge of any puppy mills in our area? What can we do to make sure any puppies we purchase do not come from puppy mills? What is your stand in pitbull fighting, cock fighting, ect.? in the extreme case of animal abuse- such as these we see on nightly news programs- what would cause humans to treat animals so cruelly?.....

Answer
My expertise is wildlife. I have no idea where you live as I don't know where "hunting high school" is. Note that proper nouns should be capitalized, including the personal pronoun, I and, the beginning of sentences.

I don't agree with animal fighting because it fails to respect the animal's ultimate owner, Jesus Christ. But I think that the animal rights protest industry groups have certainly made a lot of money on convincing the public that such activities are a "huge problem".  

What causes humans do fight animals? The same thing that causes them to drink and drive, and a host of other evils, it's called "Sin."  

Some animal fighting is culturally based, such as cock fighting and fighting preying mantis. The level of "cruelty" relates to how far the humans let the fighting go. Cock fights don't have to be to the death.


I have written a fair amount on the animal rights protest industry and how it fails to care for the environment. Your topic is a side issue from the more significant issues confronting us.
