Fishing: A: Fishing is a great sport. I wish I were better at it. Animal Medical research: A: My answer here depends on the nature of the research and whether or not cruelty is administered unnecessarily. Research is important to the health of humans and in that respect it is necessary. The alternative would be to by-pass life saving procedures/medications. It is not acceptable that humans be used for this purpose. Animal ownership and breeding (including pets, livestock, research animals.): A: We have just completed the breeding of our bitch lab and intend to do so twice more. Breeding should be the choice of the animal's owner. Without breeding, some animals would suffer challenges to the line and possibly - extinction.
