Well it's been proven if a kid at a young age, likes torturing animals, it's one of the biggest signs they will be a serial killer. It was on a Dr.Phil hour special, and it was very interesting. I personally think all wildwife should be protected, but I think the hunters should have their space and rights too. Heres what I mean I dont anyone should go out and kill 100 wild deer, turkey, or any type of animal, just for the sake of it...  |

I agree. I used to be adamantly against hunting of any kind. But I have realized that it may actually be a good thing in situations of over population. I do think the carcass of the animal should be utilized as much as possible though. Otherwise, it just seems kind of like a waste of the animals life to me. |

Hey! I support the aerial hunting of wolves. Do you even know why they do that? Half the people in alaska rely on subsistence living- hunting for food. the wolves multiply alot faster than the moose, and caribou. they were literally obliterating the species and the culture of the native people. It wasn't for hunting. In addition, they steal our dogs, cats, chickens, anything they can get to when you live in the bush. Another thing, the wolves were chasing the moose down from the mountain, and so many of them get hit by cars in the city. I think it is awesome that they are both for animal rights, that's great. But what about our rights? Why do I have to choose between healthcare and feeding my children? ~~~~MidnightSun  |

I like Barack Obama, because he is strongly anti-breed specific legislation. Just one more reason he gets my vote.  |

I agree that anyone who believes in rights for animals in a much more humane person to people. It is well documented in looking at the past of serial killers, deviants and those who torcher other people. Their path is clearly linked to their early disdain and mistreatment of animals. In response to Midnight Sun, yes I do agree in managed animals to a point. But there certainly is more to be said for capture and relocation than outright slaughter. Here in Washington State, the indigenous wolf population was completely obliterated by the same type of logic that says any population that grows too quickly should be culled. For decades the elk, deer and other animal populations have grown out of control here because the bounty on wolves made them extinct here. They have slowly been able to reintroduce wolves back into the wild, but it has been harder than anticipated.  |

I think the candidates are agreed on the point on animal rights. The animal is to be cooked thoughly before eating.  |

I find it interesting that Obama says he supports and talks in a very positive manner about animal welfare. By contrasts McCain has actually supported, voted for and co-sponsored legislation for animal welafare. This one issue pretty well sums up the entire difference between both candidates on most issues. One talks, the other has done.  |

LOL, yes an animal should be thoroughly cooked before eating. And I guess Obama did temp his own kids with a bribe. I hear they are thinking about getting a goldendoodle. I have always thought they are cute dogs. |

Midnight Sun, I understand that there are two sides to every story. I have been bothered by the aerial hunting of wolves issue though because it sounds almost as if it is the urban and trophy hunters who have been benefiting from it, and not necessarily the local subsistence hunters who need the meat. It also does not sound like the animals are very humanely killed. If you miss when shooting something, you can just injure it and not actually kill it. That just causes more suffering in the end. I can definitely see this happening when you are shooting at something from so far away. |

I didn't know McCain was against the drilling in Alaska. I like him a little bit more, now.  |

That issue on wolf hunting reminds me of a video I saw in school the other day. If you take out too many wolves, it could mess up an entire ecosystem. I'm not trying to start an argument, just saying it was an interesting video. lol |

I also think it is important to not completely obliterate a population of animal when trying to cut down on populations. |

And, BCAR, to add to your critical thinking issue, it seems as if John McCain is actually taking away the spending of money that benefits people engaged risking animals welfare which leads to the actual aid of animals, while Obama's idea seems to be to spend money to aid PEOPLE who abuse animals, e.g., "required to attend psychological counseling" --- paid for by that universal health care system? God Bless. |

I do like the way that John McCain taking away money from the people who engage in these kinds of acts. Although I do admit that I like Obama's view on forcing people into psychological counseling. Yes, it would most likely come from our tax dollars. But in general I see a problem in this country with people recommitting crimes because they were just thrown in jail and not offered any kind of psychological counseling. And no, counseling will not cure every criminal in this country. Some will just keep recommitting crimes no matter what you do. Although I do imagine it would help with some to aid in preventing their crimes from happening again. |

I sooo support his idea for making animal abuse into a felony. I hate animals abuse in all forms, including the ones that on my dinnerplate. |
