Laura Slitt, in your letter to the editor, your anger over the Trump sign leads me to believe that you voted for Joe Biden and his funding of abortion with your tax dollars in America, Africa and other countries. You are very clear about wanting to save thousands or maybe millions of turkeys from the knife of the butcher at Thanksgiving.
A turkey is not making a choice to be born, live in his or her own filth and excrement, get fattened up, then get slaughtered after living only a few short months. They have no ability to choose anything and don't even get a day of fresh air living in a factory farm. Human women get counseling and medical care, they make a choice of what they are going to do with their own bodies after being well informed.
How much of our tax dollars go to subsidies for animal agriculture? Billions! I have no choice but to participate in that horror even though I consume none of it.
Did i miss something when I read the Laura Slitt letter that David Smith refers to? I didn't see anything about turkeys, taxes, or abortion. Smith, apparently, has no answer for Slitt's sign question. Why in the world would he even write his letter - and why would this paper print it?
This is classic diversion - when you can’t refute what a person says, you divert and bring up a totally different issue. This does not address the issues Laura wrote about and is irrelevant to the discussion. And it’s almost always abortion. There are other issues that need work David.
