Slavery Protections For Animals?

A judge for the first time in U.S. history heard arguments to determine whether animals enjoy the same constitutional protection against slavery.

You got to fricking kidding me. The contitution was written for people. Animals do not have any rights under the constitution or any thing else they are animals not people. They can't reason, talk, or work and pay taxes. I can't believe the judge was stupid enough to waste taxpayers money to even hear such hog wash. PETA is out of control and needs to stop these stupid lawsuits for animals. My God hogs, cows, chickens are all raised to be eaten by man. So PETA if you don't like that tough turkey.

Animals may not be protected by the constitution and I'm not a big PETA fan. However animals are thinking feeing beings. They feel joy they feel grief and above all they feel pain. They should be protected from humans by law. They are not for our entertainment and wild animals should be left alone to live their lives in their natural environment. Even pets should not be considered as mere property. As for the farm animals you list. Yes they have been bred by humans for human consumption but that doesn't make it right. Visit a slaughter house. Look in their eyes hear their screams. You say they are just animals. Well in my humble opinion humans are the animals in most cases related to other living beings.

To 9:13. You do not know me or anything about me. Who are you to call me a liar. You are obviously very ignorant and uneducated to have to resort to name calling. I'm as entitled to my opinion as a jerk like you so get over yourself.

Sherry I think you defeated your purpose. You claim the other person is "obviously very ignorant and uneducated" since they called you names then turn around and call them names. Double standards?

Actually Sherry does not eat animal products. I care about the animals and made a choice to do no harm. To people the animals or the planet. Do you know that factory farming will not be sustainable after 2050. Do you know how harmful it is to your health. Everybody just needs to keep on not caring. What kind of legacy do you want to leave your children. A polluted broken planet caused by greed. Thats right you don't care about anything.

This is so stupid. you want to give contitutional rights to animals but take them away from human beings via the NDAA. Tell me Sherry where are you going to get jurors for the whales. Are you going to put a big fish tank in the courtroom so they can be tried by a jury of their peers. That is how stupid you sound.
