I was listening to NPR and there was a story about an American soldier stationed in Afghanistan who was being charged with murder. That always sort of strikes me as odd -- we send these young kids over there to kill people, but if they don't do it they way they are supposed to do it, follow the established rules of engagement, they are guilty of a war crime -- in this case, murder. Murder!
If we can draw that distinction, can't we find a way to draw a distinction with how animals are or are not protected under the law? How they have a right to live a life -- despite their ultimate purpose -- with some pleasure, relaxation and happiness in it?
OK, be good and be sure to miss me.
