No darling. I am a vegan. Don't use your hypocrisy as an excuse to be xenophobic

Yes, Possibley. There are many people who don't think its weak or what ever to get mental healthcare. That they don't see it as the same thing as physical care.

Also, what the heck do you think the president can do? Want more funding? Vote for Senators and Representatives that align. The president can't do much.

I almost rage downvoted you.

Reminds me of elderly drivers here in Germany with their voting power.

They should also make it animal abuse to own a dog and keep it inside your house all day. Especially in small apartments

> Farming subsidies have almost nothing to do with the food a nation needs, and everything to do with how key the farmer vote is. Countries where farmers votes don't swing elections, don't get farming subsidies.

Was...was there not one before?

I'm not hating. I understand that you want us to treat animals cruelly.

So that means no more slaughtering domesticated animals for food right?

Its funny you think this has any support from spaniards, this is is customary in small towns around "old" spain.

If you asked 95% of spaniards are against bullfighting and against hunting dog massacres, but for some reason the two biggest parties and podemos dont see them as pressing issues that will win them votes and instead focus in rent prices, feminism and minorities.

Brother, as a Spaniard that I am, you are totally wrong

Don't hate cause I'm telling the truth

One of the subplots of Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" was an engineer who figured out how to convert static electricity so that it could be a power source.

House animals, as opposed to farm animals which are covered under a different set of laws.

It may not actually be an effective substitute for real medical care/treatment but it will generate publicity and may translate into more votes for team blue, so it must be a win for overall society, right?

If you actually read the law it’s not uplifting at all how they decide which animals are exempt from these legal protections. Makes me sick

That's about time. Some people (not all) are treating the hunting dogs horrendous.

My first dog was from Spain and he was shaking like crazy and was traumatized as hell. I often thought what I would do to a person that does that to such a gentle creature.

Getting him out of that was a lot of hard work and he did not deserve any of this. But he came back into the light and could enjoy his life for another five years with us.

I don't believe in heaven but I would give a lot to see him again.

From Wikipedia "Law 32/2007 provides that the government will take measures to ensure that farm animals are not caused unnecessary suffering, and was enacted in order to comply with European Union requirements on farm animal welfare. " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_welfare_and_rights_in_Spain so while this law doesnt address farm animals other laws do. I cant comment on application or enforcement but it is usual to have different laws related to farm animal welfare and domestic animal welfare since the issues are often different in each case.

Got it. I will advocate for animal cruelty from now on 👍🏻

Still though, fuck the bulls. No protections whatsoever once again.

The reason why is because mainstream news never reports good news, humans have a negativity bias and will happily read things that make them angry over things that make them happy, so we came here to pile together the good news we can find

If you can find better things to post, please do

But if you just want to complain, please leave

I mean yea. They kill the bull regardless of a bullfight or not. Most farms slaughter the bull anyway. If you eat beef, you are part of the problem and a hypocrite
