Reply #16: This WAS a Promise + More Problems with GAO report

Letter to Obama

"During the 2008 campaign you said, "Federal policy towards animals should respect the dignity of animals and their rightful place as cohabitants of our environment. We should strive to protect animals and their habitats and prevent animal cruelty, exploitation and neglect.... I have consistently been a champion of animal-friendly legislation and policy and would continue to be so once elected." You announced that you had co-sponsored legislation to stop the sale for slaughter of wild free-roaming horses and burros. During the 2008 campaign you signed on as co-sponsor to the bill to ban horse slaughter for human consumption. When asked specifically during the campaign, "Will you support legislation ...to institute a permanent ban on horse slaughter and exports of horses for human consumption", you gave an unqualified "Yes". (HSLF questionnaire)"

BS Lurks Within the GAO Report

I have tried my damnedest to keep the faith with this President. The other party sucks worse. The clowns they are putting forward are totally unacceptable.

I am always about THE COURT.

But damn, if this doesn't just about do it, with an administration that has betrayed those of us who care about the environment and about animals. I've fucking had it. Fuck my party.
