The Animals Love Bernie Because Bernie Loves Them



“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”
― Mahatma Gandhi

The same applies to individual human beings also, imo.

You can see Bernie's chart where he scored 100% on Animal Rights Legislation in Congress HERE

Thanks again, Bernie for standing up for those without a voice!

1. Well that explains the animal rights guy who wouldn't leave the stage while Bill was speaking.

I was wondering what was up with that.

[roguevalley]

24. This is another reason he has my vote.

[Uncle Joe]

2. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, sabrina.

[sabrina 1]

4. Thank you for the video Uncle Joe. He really is a hero dog! Adopted from a shelter, he has defnitely

paid his owners back more than anyone could have imagined!

[Uncle Joe]

9. Here is another one where the dog at least had his/her heart in the right place.

[Enthusiast]

19. Wow!

[sabrina 1]

27. Aw, what a sweet doggie! He meant well and his human knows he would rush to help him if he

needed it.

Animals are so cool!

My kitten is watching that video right now! Little barn kitten who we rescued because he looked like he had no eyes. Vet had to remove one eye, but the good news is he isn't blind as his other eye wasn't as badly infected. We have adopted him and he so cute. He loves watching videos and TV, favorite channel is the Weather Channel!

[Enthusiast]

18. OMG! How amazing! Thanks, Uncle Joe!

35. Duke's eyes are very sensitive.

Can detect just a bit of prior suffering in them, too. My rescue pets have been the most grateful I've had.

6. What is Souls Without Voices and how did the

other candidates rate?

[sabrina 1]

8. Souls Without Voices isn't an organization just people who support animal rights. I posted the link

to the chart showing how all current members of Congress scored in the OP. But here it is again:

16. I understand Hillary has a poor rating.

They found out she kicks puppies and kittens.

















I kid.

7. Again,

he does the right thing.

Not surprised! He's a good man.

PEACE
LOVE
BERNIE

10. Another reason to get behind Bernie!

[azmom]

11. Yay. My dogs love Bernie!

[sabrina 1]

40. All of our animals love Bernie! I am going to buy some doggie and kitty t-shirts for them. So cute!

[George II]

12. I'm sure Gandhi would have been disappointed to hear he had a steak the night before the debate.

[sabrina 1]

41. I'm even more sure that Gandhi would be even more disappointed at anyone who supported

a war that has killed so many beautiful, innocent children in the manner of the old British Empire which he so strongly resisted. He would no doubt identify with the victims our Imperial wars-for-profit.

[retrowire]

13. my vegan ass

has known about this and am very proud of our candidate for it.

[Enthusiast]

15. Kicked and recommended! Thank you, Sabrina!

That's my Bernie!

[MineralMan]

17. Look! Adorable puppies!

Vote for Bernie - for the puppies...

[artislife]

29. Cute photo

and I will vote for the puppies by voting for Bernie.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

31. If he'd have any influence in shutting this down...

then, yes, vote for Bernie. For puppy mill dogs and puppies.

[MineralMan]

20. So has Hillary.

[SFAndi]

47. Her wildlife record

This is one reason why she'll be getting my vote: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/hillary-clinton-announces-program-aimed-at-stamping-out-elephant-poaching-ivory-trade/2013/09/26/3c258c40-26c1-11e3-b3e9-d97fb087acd6_story.html

[MineralMan]

48. She gets good marks on animal issues across the board.

It's interesting that someone is trying to use that issue, really. Both candidates are great on those issues.

[demigoddess]

21. question: how much effect does a president have on animal rights law?

I think that all of us should be working on animal rights and not relying on what the president stands for. After all, a POTUS has military affairs, foreign affairs, business affairs to handle. And we want to rely on him/her for what happens to our pets and animals?!?!?!?!?!

[sabrina 1]

25. Animal rights is a huge Corporate issue now. The horrendous pig farms, chicken farms where abuses

are rampant. RFK Jr has been working to end these monstrous corporations for years. But money talks.

Congress won't end the cruelty these farms are engaged in because of the MONEY involved.

Like Monsanto, these animal abusers have too much power and influence legislation the same way, with money.

If eg, a bill is introduced to try to regulate and monitor these corporations it isn't going to get anywhere, see The Dark Act and Monsanto's influence over that legislation DESPITE the huge support of the American people for food labeliing.

A President has veto power. All they have to do is use it. I believe Bernie will do that. Bush did. Obama rarely used it.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

30. If puppy mills could be shut down with the stroke of a Presidential pen...

I'd be all for it.

Your use of "rely" is quite crafty. And the answer is no, not "rely."

[sabrina 1]

45. I wouldl be for that too if it were possible.

[okasha]

22. I have it on good authority

that raccoons are all voting for Hillary.

[sabrina 1]

28. I know for a fact that is not true. I went straight to the 20 or so racoons that live in our barn

and showed them photos of Bernie and Hillary. (Full Disclosure: I did put a little cat food on Bernie's photo which should have no effect at all on their choice of candidate). All of them went went to Bernie's photo.

There is no greater authority on racoons than racoons themselves! No question, they all voted for Bernie.

[okasha]

32. The ones in my area and the nearby state park

have all requested Hillary buttons. I also have orders from several bobcats, a coyote family, a herd of javelina and several dozen deer. Texas is diverse, after all.

[sabrina 1]

34. Lol!

What about Bears? You have no Bears in Texas? Every Bear in he NE is for Bernie!

[stonecutter357]

23. that is the reason I love Bernie.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. An interesting chart. Not surprisingly, Democrats on average

scored much better than Republicans. GOPers don't seem to care much about any species, human or otherwise.

[sabrina 1]

37. True, but there were a few Dems, not surprisingly, who didn't score very well. Baucus, eg. But true

overall, most Progressive Dems scored better.

[senz]

33. I am so happy to see this.

I try not to judge people who don't like animals, but I do feel sorry for them. Animals have enriched my life, from infancy on, in so many ways. I cannot imagine life without some degree of animal contact. They are so completely real.

Bernie's a total good guy, and I have no idea if he has pets/animal companions, but it's good to know that he cares about their welfare.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

36. Yet he endorses guns

and the people who love to hunt and eat animals.

My God you Sanders supporters are getting desperate.

I like and respect Sanders but to paraphrase Gandhi. "I love Sanders very much. His supporters not so much. They are so unlike Sanders."

[senz]

38. The subject and spirit of this thread is entirely innocent and positive

and I've enjoyed it. For that reason, the resentment and sarcasm from the "other camp" does nothing to make me want to support their candidate if she gets the nomination.

I could say a whole lot more.

[sabrina 1]

39. They really are always so negative, aren't they? I'm at the point where I feel sorry for them

sometimes. Bernie's campaign and his supporters are so positive, so much fun while at the same time deeply informed on the issues.

I wonder why they don't try to PROMOTE their candidate, rather than always being on the attack. Otoh, it's difficult to support a candidate whose policies over the years are so hard to defend.

[senz]

42. I have a theory about it

and your final sentence sums it up. Many if not most of these people are Democrats and, as such, probably have some understanding of what Democrats stand for. But for various reasons, they're committed to supporting her even though she does not live out Democratic ideals. So they're stuck in an uncomfortable place, and they envy us for being able to support Bernie without conflicts. It's like we can enjoy a kind of open-hearted enthusiasm that is no longer possible for them. So they hate us for it. I too feel sorry for them, sometimes. But when they get really ugly, not so much...

Oh well. Thanks for all you do, sabrina.

[sabrina 1]

43. I think you are probably right about some of her supporters. It would be hard to have to defend

a candidate who in so many ways has shown herself to be far more Conservative on so many issues, than any Democrat is supposed to be. One or two can be explained but there are just so many.

Others I think, actually are that conservative themselves and don't have much of a conflict trying to explain to the rest of us how 'naive' we are etc.

Others probably think we have to keep on compromising in order to get the few crumbs we get if Dems win.

All I know is it is really good to be able to support someone we do not have to defend on most issues for a change.

[restorefreedom]

44. another reason to say go bernie!! nt

[sabrina 1]

46. Yes, there are so many good reasons to vote for him. Including this!

[restorefreedom]

49. !! nt
