Why? If this legislation is based on the (perceived) cruelty and not on the religious side why would it be struck down? I don't think the Mormons ever got the "no polygamy" laws struck down, did they? Yet it can be argued that that law prohibits them from leading the life their religion tells them to lead. > This is also a prime example of why the second some one says, "Well they > have been doing it in Europe...", is usually wrong.

Let me start with one of todays headlines in a Dutch newspaper (translated): "Arabs in US complain about discrimination" http://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/buitenland/1023253184684.html All our opinions are shaped by the information we receive every day. If your sources of information happen to be biased in some way or another, you will be influenced by that. That is just a fact of life, discussion of which IMHO is hardly worth the effort (but by all means feel free). > unless you plan on heading out to the woods and humanely killing a passing > cow for yourself. Sorry, no passing cows. Due to recent legislation regarding the emission of dangerous greenhouse gasses from the gastrointestinal channel of bovines cows are not allowed in the wild anymore.
