This video is pointless. There is no context that provides insight to the discussion. Whoever edited and posted this video is an idiot. Besides breeders have been known to treat their for sale pets inhumanly seeing them as only means of profit and should be licensed to prevent such treatment.
I disagree--the "point" of the video is that the politician highlighted is untruthful and says things and later denys saying them...accordingly, she does not deserve support from a constituency she clearly lies to.
To point out the obvious, it is just a partisan way to tie up the discussion by fighting over nothing. It by no means reveals anything about her character to twist words out of context. I'm not a demographic, I am a individual voter and can see right through it. Besides her opponent Dana Rohrabacher has been my congressmen for 20 years. He even presented me with the American Flag at my eagle ceremony but by no means speaks for me because he not scientific man and is an ideologue.
Sure, she challenged that lady to find where she said that, and she did (although you people aren't taking into consideration the context of what she said. People DO FORGET THINGS SOMETIMES. However, I think you are all taking what she said as a blanket statement, and you are judging her when you don't know her. How do you know if she is an animal lover or not? I am an animal lover, I have always had pets, but we ADOPT THEM AND HAVE THEM FIXED. That is responsible pet ownership.
When breeders do things to the animals that make them "cuter" or more like they think they should look, THAT is the butchering she's talking about. Yes, there are some responsible breeders, but personally I would never BUY an animal when there are so many that need a good home. That is what a true animal lover would do.
This entire video is out of context - it does not show the start of the statement being repeated over and over. I would be willing to bet the people behind it are her political opponents.
Just for the sake of argument: She said "The butchering things they do to animals, I just don't get." That is not the same as saying "Breeders are butchers," but still an indictment. And so what? It's true, isn't it? What about all the little doggie tails and ears that are cut? Doberman pinchers, for example, look a lot cuter with their ears intact anyway. How would you like your ears clipped? Aren't "our" animals more than just property?
At the Sept. 4, 2007 Huntington Beach City Council Meeting, Mayor Cook condemned breeders, as her AR buddies applauded in the audience. Minus her cheering section, March 17, 2008, she denied her statement at the Council Meeting. Cook claims to be an environmentalist, criticizing pollution. See her U Tube October 3, Solar Home Video. On April 15, 2008, the Orange County Register reported Cook owns $510,000 in oil stocks. She now runs for Congress. Its frightening! What will she cook up next?
My akitas are smarter then your Mayor! How's THAT for "so wonderful"?
FORCING invasive surgeries on pre-adolescent pets is BUTCHERING.
The digital age sucks doesn't it Debbie?
Providing mentally and physically sound animals to bring joy to child's face is a GIFT responsible Breeders share with the world- we should allow you to turn your shelters into brokerages for Mexican puppy mills is an atrocity.
Debbie Cook, I can only assume your knowledge of breeding is very limited. And you may want to consult a physician to treat your obvious memory loss. The video speaks for itself. I hope your term is close to its end. I would think your only votes in the next election will be from your family. You do not need to be in government. Maybe PETA will have a job for you.
Mayor Cook you are one crazy bit-- , You seem to have trouble thinking and taking at the same time . We all see you calling breeders butchers and you say , I never said that . you are a lier now and anytime your lips mover you will lie , you sold your soul to the AR people . You need to get out of office and go work with peta , because you think alike .
"The breeders are usually the worst because they think their animals are so wonderful"
Hey Deb...our animals are beyond wonderful, they are FANTASTIC!!
Afterlistening your our dog-hating, PETA-sympatheitc comments and seeing the comtempt you hold for us, we breeders and our dogs will see to it that you NEVER serve in another public office.
I think Mayor Cook was referring to backyard breeders and puppy mills. How anyone is supposed to remember something they said over a year ago, I'm sure it was emotion based and I think this is the silliest thing I've ever seen.
She said that breeders are the most irresponsible because they think their animals are so great. She is referring to hobby show breeder. Someone breedingjust for profit doesn't think much about how great their animals are.
Hey, we think that because our animals ARE great!
Debbie Cook is a liar and is anti-breeder, she will be held accountable for her nasty comments. SHE should have been neutered, andnot any of our dogs.
She has swallowed the PETA/HSUS Koolaid. There is a national campaign of character assassination of ALL breeders, attempting to take the worst examples of pet breeding & redefine it in the public's mind. "All breeders are irresponsible." Where does she get off???
well i will try again to post.my first one has not come through of two days.. Debbie Cook is a typical politician.. says what ever they want to say then covers it up.. NOT THIS TIME.. GOTCHA Debbie.. you are on your way OUT
The hypocrite, Mayor Cook, said breeders do butchering things to animals on Sept. 4, 2007 at the Huntington Beach City Council Meeting, but denied her statement at the March 17, 2008 Council Meeting. Cook also says that she is an environmentalist and wants to decrease pollution. See her U Tube October 3, Solar Home Video. Yet on April 15, 2008, the Orange County Register reported Mayor Cook owns $510,000 in oil stocks. Now she runs for Congress. How frightening! What will she cook up next?
Yep - she said this - then called us liars when it was pointed out to her. AND - she's planning to run for Congress! SCAREY!!! Oh - and she's a lawyer! My oh my - what a piece of work!
If their lips are moving they are lying! This is a work of art! The battle to own a wholev sexually entire pet animal without government lunatic interference is like a NATIONAL BRAIN TUMOR, a HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS FORM OF INSANITY... which afflicts the PETANS from their alien galaxy & their il, and is infecting Politicians and other highly defective sorts. I say let them cut off their own reproductive organs if the idea is so appealing to them.You would have to kill me first.
Did she lose the election in the fall?
