There seems to be a new ongoing 'debate' going on in the web world now over the recent Michael Vick topic by those who espouse libertarian beliefs. I am not accusing anyone here of this, but I do notice a similar line of thought with this thread as I have seen elsewhere.
From what I gather, libertarians believe people should be able to do whatever they wish with animals, as they consider them their property, and the government laws reguarding animal abuse, are unjust and cross the lines of their libertarian ways of thinking.
I think this particular subject is one that would be better left alone, if it were a libertarian cause, as it is one that seems to cross barriers with all people that feel deeply towards the treatment of animals, especially those that would be pets.
I do not view animals' rights as important in this debate, as I do the responsibility we as human beings have with reguards to how we treat said animals with respect.
If I am off base on where this subject is going or coming from, then please excuse the interruption and carry on the topic as you were.
