Presidential Elections

Keeping on the political topic....there has been some news regarding whether the Obama family needs a pet - I think specifically a dog.

It might help with a family image, but as those who are breeding animals (maybe even into farming, etc), we should take a look a look at how the candidates stand on these types of issues. There is a nice little overview of the top 4 candidates - Obama, Clinton, McCain and Ron Paul - that does get one thinking. The review can be found at Spaniel Journal --http://www.spanieljournal.com/2jyates.html

Although none may be a clear-cut favorite, some do rate higher than others with Animal Rights groups.

I don't feel Animal Rights vs Owners' Rights will be a huge Presidential issue, it is one we all need to consider on our local levels. These are the places the laws start and gain momentum. So, this election season, take a look at who is being endorsed by whom and see if that is in alignment with your views on animal ownership.
