She has been active in the animal rights movement for over 19 years.

Honest question. I understand what you are saying but humanly, how do you feel about halaal? Crueler execution! Best thing you hard core activists can do is target smokers and animal testing!

She will never stop trapping. Does she want to turn us into vegetarians too?

She should be a dictator then!

That's what she's trying to accomplish, she wants to push her agenda through imposing others.

Doesn't she know that over abundance of a species, particularly wildlife will die of natural causes if left to overpopulate. Trapping, hunting regulates the nature and balance of the animal world. More food and less disease will be present with proper animal to food ratios.
