[FEL-L] The future

[Ray]

I always thought the British, with their love of animals, would rebel 
against such things but it looks like the anti-animal crowd has used their 
feelings against them.

It's not unique. We see it here, among our own groups. People who should 
know better and object instead cheer laws and regulations that target 
owners.

Then one day it is on them.

I think the problem is that these things are _always_ sold as being _good_ 
for animals and that people are afraid to speak against them because they 
fear being accused of being "pro-cruelty." Look at the wars on the lists 
over similar measures.

People get cowed into silence and meekly give up their rights.

We need to stand up and say "NO!" very loudly when these things come up and 
join with anyone else who will oppose it.

If we don't - and soon - we will lose all ability to have any animal. The 
foundation is already in place. The building upon it must be stopped.

Sure, it won't be this year or the next but it is not as far off as many 
imagine either. The time to nip these things is in the bud, before roots go 
too deep to pull out.
