I can't say I'm Sorry

Is there any position on this subject that you won't support? Talk about
flip-flopping.


I really don't believe the HSUS is considered some radical group and they
have much to say on this subject. Check it out. Thanks.

I don't think this is a flip-flop for Doctor Goodnow from what I recall of the previous posts... she was pretty moderate on the issue. She argued, basically, that we're to blame for needing a cull, but didn't deny that one was needed.

And to be perfectly honest, I have HUGE issues with the HSUS and their credibility and concern for animals... but that is an issue for another thread. Maybe that biases me more than I am able to compensate for, but I find the information here painfully one-sided and at times very deceptively presented.

I think this link is pretty fair, and has relatively balanced information that at times is damaging to both arguments. I will try to find more that straddles the fence some.

Now, this one may be less even-handed as it is from an organization with a vested interest, to say the least, but it has a good Q & A format that might give PTers something to think on and look in to.

BBC article that is pretty fair, but obviously seems to agree with more of PT's viewpoint:
