You might say.....but there are some great causes there, some that I could support! You have to understand.....once they win on a few of the simple ones, then the others come along easier!!! We can't let them win on anything!!! ALSO, some sound logical and sound like they could help the cause of animal welfare; the reality is that most do NOT help but make it worse, like horse slaughter.
