Cheryl,
I got all the photos from the same place and to be honest, I didn’t think it was an unflattering photo. I tried to be as unbiased as possible in putting this information together using trusted sources.

While I really appreciate all the work that was put into this article and commend you for your helping us as animal lovers and their stewards in this world to vote in an informed way, I take exception to the fact that you used an unflattering photo of Hillary Clinton compared to your choices of the other candidate’s photo’s. Could it be your bias is showing?
FYI, I don’t intend to vote for her but come on, fair is fair!
Thanks again for your gathering this helpful information for those of us who care deeply about animal welfare issues and will vote accordingly.

Becky said–”I have to say I was also a bit surprised at some of the candidates stands. I am a registered republican but I guarantee I won’t be voting that way. I do have one issue I took offense to, though, I work twice a year at one of the bigger rodeos in Pa. I also know personally the man who runs the rodeos, I have helped feed and get the animals ready for the rodeo. This man has such a love for animals, that they get the best of feeds and medical care. They are very well taken care of, to a bystander it may look otherwise, but I can honestly tell you if one of the “boys” do something to upset the animals or hurt them they are punished accordingly, be it lose of pay for the night or even firing on the spot. I am not saying all promoters of rodeos are like this but don’t judge them all the same please.”

Well Becky, even the “nicest” rodeo’s are cruel to animals. If you work for them then you don’t care about animals.

Thank you Deanna for posting this article on the candidates views about animal welfare. I have sent it to family and friends because I know that most of them don’t really know how the presidential candidates truly stand on this important issue. Some people I talk to think that Huckabee is great just because he is a Christian. I feel he is one of the worst candidates as well as the other Republicans that are running for office. By the way I am not Democrat but I did vote for Dennis who I think is the best not just for me but for our country. Most politicians know that the majority of the people in the U.S. are Christian minded so they use religion to manipulate the masses. Not all the candidates will have all the qualities we want in a President but I feel that it should be a candidate that has the best interest for all people living in the U.S. and for our environment which includes our wildlife and all animals.

I think it’s important to note that Hillary Clinton was heavily involved in cattle trading earlier in life. (Shady trading at that.) Her trade advisor was Jim Blair, who was the general counsel for Tyson Foods, the largest slaughterer of animals in the U.S.

PitBullMomma, I would to receive any info you get back regarding BSL. That is an issue high on my priorities list and I am always interested in what politicos have to say and what their stand is on it.

Thanks so much for this very important information. I am also interested in the candidates positions on BSL – even though it’s a “local matter” I think it would behoove those of us who own targeted breeds to at least know how a candidate you are considering voting for feels about the issue. I intend to email the only candidates I can possibly consider after reading this article to question them on this and will send on any responses that I receive.
