I made it through Parts I and II. Part I is the reason that I purchase dogs from a shelter, or "pound" and they were formerly called. I think it requires a responsible person and a responsible human being to spay or neuter their pets, and people should continue to practice this to stave off the deaths of thousands of strays.
That being said, this documentary you're posting about is borderlining on a political discussion. Like it or not, PETA and other animal rights groups, are political organizations for the advancement of humane treatment of animals we coexist with. I understand you desiring to post this in "a community of neutrality," but taking one look at all the user comments on the videos posted on Youtube tells me that this is a hot-button issue that Cigar Pass isn't a home for. Rule #6 states:
6.) Absolutely no discussion of ‘touchy’ subjects. This includes political and religious discussion. This is a cigar forum. We pride ourselves on running the friendliest cigar community online. Discussion of politics and religion does nothing but create tension between members.
This, in my opinion, falls under "touchy subjects" and is in the same vein as posting an anti-war topic, anti-Obama topic, anti-Iraq topic, and an anti-fur topic. All this thread will do is invite differing opinions, political stances, and possible bigotry. The documentary itself is one-sided in terms of animal rights, human's use of animals, and is in violation of the rules you've agreed to when you signed on the dotted line for a membership here.
Thread reported. Nothing further.
PS- I would have appreciated a "
VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED / GRAPHIC IMAGES INCLUDED" type warning. There is nothing progressive about watching a human drop a cinder block onto another human's head. I can handle images like that, as I see gruesome things every day, but if my wife were watching this at my side, she probably would have had a panic attack. So thank you.
