Tedious laws indeed! What a stupid waste of US legal system time.
The stupid ban on gavaging ducks is all based on "gagging" the poor little docile ducks. Please!
Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNYq0bp0uTY
Its a little docile duck swallowing a live baby duckling whole! And incrediable feat. PETA is a vegan agenda. Period. Wake up egg, cheese, meat, honey eaters. Wake up leather shoe, leather belt, down comforter, down jacket, silk scarf, alpacha coat wearer!
Although these may seem to be alot of tedious laws that few will actually abide be and be prosecuted if not, I think its a great contribution to the US legal system. Organizations like PETA and other animal rights organizations are finally being recognized by the government and having their appeals put into action. This is proof that even 1 person or 1 organization can truly make a difference.
Good idea to get McDonalds to cut back on calories and sodium in the kids meal. Many kids want the toy, without the incentive, there's less of a need to purchase.
Regarding Sweden, I can't understand how bestiality would become a legal matter in the first place. I certainly never heard of it being an issue.
