I'll go back to my first question: in this case, what legitimate authority is being overstepped? It seems widely accepted that governments have the ability to make laws for the protection of animal welfare, and we seem in agreement that the ends reached here are a good thing. To me, this seems like a legitimate and proportional use of governmental power.
- wallace_f 9y agoI can't seem to find a way to communicate this. I do agree those laws achieve good ends. I suppose most people don't like being called ugly and stupid, should government ban that? All I'm advocating is the ideals proposed during the Enlightenment and founding of America be taken more seriously. Most of the evil in the world is done by governments. Once you set them up with the size, authority to do that, it will be done.
