an implanted tube, and held in a tiny cage. It really affected her.
I don't understand why these crimes aren't taken more seriously. It reminds me of all the "no littering, fines up to $1000". Has anyone ever heard of someone getting a ticket for littering?

But you should see the kind of enforcement if someone stands up for animals. I read a book called "Operation Biteback" and the full force of the US government came down on a few kids trying to save fur animals from fur farms.
