A few months ago our government proposed to pass legislation to toughen up the animal cruelty laws (in Canada). Now normally, I hate our government, but they made very happy with that proposition. However, there was public "outcry." People were shocked that the government could even THINK of wasting time with such ideas, when there are so many MORE IMPORTANT things that needed to be dealt with. I remember reading letters to the editor in a major paper (The Ottawa Citizen) where people berated the idea of having tougher laws against animal cruelty, and dismissed it as a waste of time. Well, that plan was shelved.

To me, that sort of thing is an example of human imperialism. If something doesn't benefit them specifically, they don't want it. It makes me very angry. Once I am through school and I'm not tens of thousands of dollars in debt I am going to try to do something. I'm not sure what yet, but I am going to do something.
