Animal Rights Trump Human Rights

rights of animalsI love my dog.  I think farm ani­mals should be treated humanely and not spend their lives in fac­tory farms.  Still a new Swiss ani­mal rights law car­ries with it the specter of enforced Jain­ism.

Where does it end?  Will gov­ern­ment some day tell me I can’t eat meat or cheese or squash a mos­quito because they are beings with feel­ing that deserve treat­ment equal to that of “human animals”?

Lord help us.
