SternSkipper, I just wanted to say, I did enjoy the video - hugely funny - and sorry if I've de-railed the thread a little, but I honestly feel people need to make a distinction between animals slaughtered for food, and what Romney did to his dog (a truly domestic pet - not a "farm pet" - who, in my mind, is tantamount to a member of the family). In other words, Romney's dog was entrusted to his family by someone (a breeder? Humane Society? Neighbor?) with the expectation that it would be cared for properly as a domestic pet until the dog died of natural causes. By no means a 4-H goat. If this is how Romney treats an animal entrusted to his care, what makes any of us think he will do any better with the country if we entrust it to his care?
The Obama eating dog in Indonesia is a separate issue about a majority of the world's population being omnivores and the implications for animals, generally. If people want to go down the slaughtering any animal for food is wrong path, I am more than happy, philosophically, to do so. But then any candidate who is not a vegetarian is prone to the same attack.
If I were to come back in my next life as a dog, I would rather not be born in Indonesia. But if I came back as a cow, I have to say, I would not want to be born in America, I'm thinking India would be a better bet. But if were an American dog, and had to be someone's pet, I would much rather be in the Obama household, than in the Romney household. [:D]
