Thank goodness.
The DNR is my authority on the matter.

Wildlife management and funds to preserve, protect, control, and manage all living creatures under both State and Federal laws. They are the ones the "swamp people" and I pull the permits and licenses from to "control" these animals.

They also see deer hit and killed on the highway and many dying of starvation.

Would have been better to have been in someone freezer.

But the idea of making all animals let alone all species legally equal would lead to nothing but moral relativism.
You can't be serious!

God made man, "a little lower than the angels." ~ The Bible

Man is of superior intelligence.

Animals do not reason (as man does). They act according to instinct.

Did an animal ever invent a high tech device? (Rhetorical question)

Get real.

By the way, we already have "moral relativism," thanks to the Godless liberals.

I just had a sudden mental image of Charles Darwin reading this conversation and laughing hysterically.
