    Yes, but KFamr belives that means stop animal abuse and animal racism. In which case, I'm wondering why someone would use racism in relation to animals.

    PS - 2Kitties, stop!!

    Even funnier that you have a "fight racism" thing on your tagline. Irony, anyone?
    She did

    Soledad, don't hit Trayi.
    Actually, I don't think hitting is allowed here at the softer side of PT.
    So no one will be hitting anyone. However, I think we could all have a good giggle. No reason mind you, just giggle.

    I disagree. 100%. I also think it's interesting that folks feel this way in our generation when it's likely our own ancestors did not speak English when they arrived here....

    babolaypo65, alas, it is time to bring our little thread back on track. And you are exactly right. Only those of English (the nationality) decent can claim true english (the language) heritage. The rest of us are products of every other language around. In fact, the original Americans- the Native Americans- would probably have preferred English (the language or the people) would have stayed far far away!

    "animal racism" or not, I don't see how she was being racist, if that's what you mean by irony.
