Canine Earthlings

My sources pass on to me this bit of information from an Animal Agriculture Alliance press release.

HSUS’ Pacelle Commits to Redoubling Anti-Agriculture Efforts

Against agriculture, but for canines! Pacelle also advocates Canine Americans be the new term for that animal commonly referred to as “dog”.

Do they so arrogantly assume all dogs have no pride and simply want to be American? They advocate for dogs, yet crush the canine rights of the German Shepherd, Afghan Hound, Belgian Malinois, English Spaniels of all varieties and the Finnish Spitz just to name a few.

And I’ll be damned if I would stand for any Australian Terrier, Cattle, Shepherd, or Kelpie Sheep dog being referred to as a Canine American!

This meeting continued to reflect the major changes in the animal rights movement shown in the last few years. The majority of the audience had a professional demeanor and was dressed in business casual attire.

I can only guess that their point is to make the distinction with the unwashed masses of dreadlocked, unstable hippies they’re used to attracting.

Not that there’s anything wrong with unwashed, dreadlocked and unstable hippies - they’re cool, but who are they aiming at by stating that in the press release?
