No where have I or anyone else claimed Obama was "in favor of it," in terms of animal cruelty. But, then YOU know that. I don't understand how swooping in from time to time to make rude and derisive posts can be so enjoyable to some. But you aren't alone in doing so. It certainly does nothing to advance your POV. But, it does serve to make DU a much less civil and place, if that was your intent.
