Ok, the first mistake is confusing my pro gun and pro hunting stance as that of a Republican.

As for farming - his book.
"The Rights of Animals: A Very Short Primer," in which he said the "law should impose further regulation on hunting, scientific experiments, entertainment, and (above all) farming to ensure against unnecessary animal suffering."

Having court cases where animals can be represented by lawyers and suits brought against those who are accused of animal cruelty is inviting more lawsuits... as we do not currently have these in our courts. Animal cruelty is against the law, I dont think a salmon that was flossed should be allowed to sue for damages.

When I say frivolous lawsuits I mean exactly that, your analogy is so off base I find it comical. 1- I am not a Republican, although you seem steadfast in portraying me as such. 2- when people bring lawsuits that are obviously seeking a payoff that is frivolous. Some slip on a restroom floor, realize it is a restroom and there is the chance of a slippery condition others see it as a payday and sue the restaurant for negligence. Not all David and Goliath scenarios are as they seem.
