They don't look like rodents to me. The animals on that placard look very much like canines.
And honestly, Dan maybe you don't have a problem with fur or the fur industry, I don't want get into that right now, but the "there are starving babies out there" argument is so facile I'm surprised you'd use it. Using that argument no one should ever take issue with any social problem because there are "starving babies" out there. And of course maybe those protesters (or at least some of them) do protest against starving babies. Or work at food banks, help single moms, do all sorts of ground level activism that helps children and youth and even starving babies. The vast majority of social activists I know are involved with more than one issue. And even if they aren't, surely they're allowed to express their disgust on any issue they please. Of course the beauty of free speech is that you have the right to disagree with them and I thank you for commenting on my photo. Cheers, frank On November 23, 2015 11:47:51 PM EST, "Daniel J.
