Humane Society airs new ad against The Con

1. Good for them!

A lot of people don't know about the Trump boys and their African safaris.

[niyad]

2. excellent.

[napi21]

3. There's also a VERYLARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE ANIMAL LOVERS!

Turn THEM against him and he has NO WAY to get them back. No amount of lies or cons will work for him or his surrogates.

[Hortensis]

21. Lol. Yes. We have a major knee-jerk animal loving acquaintance

who loathes humanity for all the evil we do to innocent creatures. She's a far-lefter who despises Democrats above all, though. Trump is running Republican, and I don't think expectations for them make it onto her radar, certainly not enough to make Democrats look good. But I'll hope she sees it anyway because I suspect you're right for at least most people strongly motivated by this issue.

[meadowlark5]

33. My MIL is a lock step republican christian conservative

And an animal lover. Despises any animal abuse.

When I told her Sarah Palin hunted wolves from a helicopter, usually terrifying them with the helicopter, running them exhausted before shooting them dead so she could have wolf skin draped on her furniture - she was horrified but republican loyalty overroad that disgust.

His supporters, like so many things, will find a way to reconcile it in their shit for brains.

[Hortensis]

38. Republican loyalty and it sounds perhaps like obedience

to the chosen authorities. Christian conservatives are supposedly virtually all dutiful authoritarians. I've read that they won't follow just anyone, but when they choose leaders they then turn over issues of conscience to those leaders to decide for them.

Strong conservatism probably worked far better in a world of few people who seldom went far from home. Just look at this world population graph. For most of 10,000 years it grew little, then the Industrial Revolution started in 1750 and it took off like a rocket. Until then how life was lived didn't change all that much, gradual pastoral to agricultural the big revolution for some, either. Today millions flow around the planet every day, and frequent dramatic changes are a fact of life, but in terms of humanity, it's all happened in no time at all.

4. this piece from KO should go along with it

http://video.gq.com/watch/the-closer-with-keith-olbermann-wtf-why-is-trump-such-a-weirdo-about-dogs?c=series

[mopinko]

7. yeah, that right there, on its own, is enough

to turn me against him, if i wasnt already saturated w reasons to stop him.

[AlbertCat]

16. Bizarre!

"like a dog".... just weird. And he does seem strangely clueless about pets and animals in general.

It's creepy.... like those rare people who don't like any kind of music.

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. There is something inherently wrong with people who don't like dogs.

I bet the asshole kicks them, too.

[niyad]

24. I hope nobody ever has a dog near him, for I fear that you are quite correct.

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Small children don't like to be around him either.

That's very telling.

[niyad]

26. yes, look at that picture of "little miss flint" if you have not seen it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

28. I've seen it.

That contrast with President Obama and little children could not be stronger. Same with dogs.

[niyad]

29. did you see the one of her with president clinton, yesterday, I think.

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. No, I missed that one.

[niyad]

32. here

[greatauntoftriplets]

34. Thanks. That's so cute.

Again a polar opposite of the photo with Trump.

[niyad]

36. I thought you would enjoy them. polar opposite indeed. have you noticed that none of the

puke candidates is liked by young children?

[greatauntoftriplets]

37. That was true with Romney and Bush II.

They likely think that children should be seen and not heard, forgetting that children will be voters one day.

[meow2u3]

5. Animal lovers and animal welfare advocates: don't vote for Trump

Your pets' lives depend on it.

Donald would try to legalize animal cruelty by sneaking it in some rider. All right, I know it might be a line of crap, but I have to take a page out of LBJ's playbook by making him blow a gasket and deny it.

[napi21]

6. Don't be so sure. I believe there are LOTS of dog & cat owners who don't KNOW this about

the Con. They dearly love their own animals and dislike and distrust anyone who doesn't respect animals. This ad will enlighten them.

[meow2u3]

8. This makes me want to ask pet-loving, "soft" Trump supporters this

How would they feel if a hardcore Trump supporter abducted and abused one of your pets, only to find out the perp was at a Trump rally with them?

[niyad]

9. as KO's piece says, he would destroy the regulations that keep our companions' food safe.

[displacedtexan]

10. Good ad, but it misses a valuable point.

Trump's spawn were obviously on "canned hunts," which are BIG BUSINESS in luxury travel circles.
Tourists are never in any danger, and everything is staged to make it look like they are skilled hunters.

My nephew made millions guiding pin stripe suits on deer hunts and fishing trips, where the biz men thought they were successful hunters...but the deer were driven to certain areas and the fish were lured with chum. Everything was strictly legal (but horrible, IMHO).

Exotic animal canned hunts are the absolute worst form of "sport."

[napkinz]

11. ...

[NewJeffCT]

12. Has the Humane Society made political ads before?

I don't recall any.

[byronius]

13. AWESOME AD.

[oasis]

14. Dump every Trump.

[mountain grammy]

15. Go get em, the evil bastards.

[Rose Siding]

17. Holy crap that's good!

LOVED seeing this ad. Had no idea about the Sec Int threat. Makes you want to cry. Or heave something heavy!

[Cakes488]

18. Animal Lovers Unite!!!

[MoonRiver]

19. Great!

This is one of the most important issues to me!

[hamsterjill]

20. The ad is great; the Trumps are sick pervs.

I am a BIG animal welfare advocate and rescuer, and I have a lot of friends in rescue. I've shared this with them.

I hope it makes an impact because some of them, dumbasses that they may be, are fervent Trump supporters.

I, personally, don't see how anyone can reconcile the idea of animal welfare with Republican politics. Even before Trump. The Republicans have NEVER supported anything that was good for animals.

[napi21]

31. Have you told them Trump thinks it's a waste of $$ to test dog & cat food? I also am a rescuer

and when I heard that, I screamed "You ^&%$#^*^%er!" Sure I want our food to be tested, butt I want my pet food to be tested too! Heck, even with testing we've had foods recalled because of contamination.

[hamsterjill]

39. Yes, I've been spreading the word generously.

I'm in Texas. Trust me, I'm screaming from the mountaintop!

[niyad]

22. . . .

[Auggie]

27. Smart idea

[TBA]

35. And we were mad at Romney

for putting his dog on top of a car. Jesus Christ I truly detest these people.

[ColemanMaskell]

40. Thank you for posting that

[bklyncowgirl]

41. There's a story around about Trump and a horse.

The horse's name was
Alibi. He was a two year old Thoroughbred touted as the second coming of Secretariat. Trump contracted to buy the colt, planning to change the horse's name to (what else) DJTrump.

Trump decided he wanted to see the colt work. The trainer told him to hold off. There was a virus making its way around the barn and he did not want to stress the colt. Trump ignored the expert and insisted that Alibi work at top speed. As a result the colt sickened and nearly died. Reports say his front hooves had to be amputated so I would imagine he developed a bad case of laminitis.

Having ruined the colt Trump then refused to live up to the contract and pay for the horse. He stiffed the breeder for some 500,000. Mind you the breeder was was not a good guy; he had mob ties and s major gambling problem.

Sadly I have no idea what happened go poor Alibi Given the sort of people fjord owned it probably did not end well.
