I hadn't thought about this a bit in the middle of the fray, but you know, it says a lot. And it's not a bit surprising.

1. Matters a hell of a lot to me! And, like you, I don't find it surprising.

[nolabear]

2. I actually think it does make a difference to a lot of us. And it shows character.

4. Yes. Frankly what his sons do is despicable beyond belief. Yet Rump does not criticize them.

Plus, literally everybody I know, Republican or Democrat, is happy than Barnum & Bailey are liberating their elephant slaves. But I guess the cretin wants to take his grandkids to see sentient beings abused, cause, after all, it's all about what makes HIM happy.

3. I don't even need to read it. Donald raised boys who kill beautiful wild animals for fun.

That tells me all I need to know about his stance on animal rights - that they have none.

5. Exactly. Was thinking about his boys smiling with pride in photo with a dead Leopard.

6. My assumption is when you don't give a damn about human rights, you likely (also) ...

... don't give a damn about animal rights

Narcissistic sociopaths (short fingered vulgarian/ pence) care about themselves ... and nothing else

8. Absolutely. Hillary should lightly push this one. She'll gain more than she imagines.

7. It most certainly DOES matter to me. thanks

9. My two dogs, my cat and my African Grey and I agree.
