Trumpgrets Twitter is full of people angry about this.
If there's an opportunity to deny knowledge and transparency, this administration will take it.
Yeah I'd love to hear an explanation from Trump on this one. Absolutely disgusting and deplorable.
The fact that they didn't so quietly means they have no real reason.

Aren't they profiting from it because less people will use it to share pictures of them stuffing plastic bags full of dead puppies and kittens into garbage dumbs?
So companies and get away with anything?
So they're not held accountable by the public?
Literally the only reasons I can think of.

More leniency for businesses that involve animals to operate as they please. Let's just throw our animal friends under the bus in the name of corporate interests and capitalism.

I found out about this last week from a Beagle Rescue Foundation we support.
NOW I regret my vote (Not it mattered in NY anyway).
NOW I regret my vote (Not it mattered in NY anyway).
The benefit is to greedy corporate farms, who can now treat farm animals any way they want in order to save money without consequence. Isn't it wonderful the kind of people who are running things? What despicable excuses for human beings.

Given that they're throwing human beings under the bus in the name of corporate interests and capitalism, is this really so surprising?

It benefits the industries that it removes accountability from. Puppy mills will benefit from the lack of oversight since any prospective pet owner would have to fill out a Freedom of Information act just to see if a breeder is a puppy mill, which takes time, this means that pet stores can begin to claim that their animals are not from puppy mills since it will be hard to verify this information. I can easily see a rise in puppy mills because of this, they make money by producing a lot of animals in a short amount of time.
The cosmetics industry will benefit since they can test animals with no accountability since there can be no public outcry over conditions if the public is in the dark over these practices.
Zoo's, and performing animals, while the latter is thankfully on the decline will still have little incentive to maintain quality habitats for their animals. This in turn will allow them to spend less money and gain more profit.
The animals you try to protect are going to suffer in part because of your and other people's ignorance. If you don't feel guilty, you never cared that much to begin with.
Oh, so hurting humans is A-okay in your book but when it comes to puppies, gloves are off ?
Jesus.

Come volunteer with us at the ACC in Manhattan. We can discuss caring and not caring.
High Def Jeff probably still would've voted for him, then "cared" later.
No thanks, I volunteer in my own neck of the woods. I'm sure Manhattan has enough good, caring, decent people that help out a lot and i'm sure some of them can do it with a clear conscience.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't around here. You guys have a great weekend.
My weekend will be better not have voting for Trump, thanks.
Live with yourself, I suppose.
What have you done? Volunteer? That doesn't magically absolve you of all guilt you know.
Toodles, I guess you're running away with your tail tucked between you legs like a lot more four legged creatures have to now.
Like the hat?

People should focus on the topic at hand instead of turning the thread into a holier than thou dogpile. That's why trump gets away with so much shit, distractions from the real issues and problems he's causing.

Who's running? I am here for another 15 minutes..what would you like to talk about?

Why? To appease companies who deal with animals and animal products obviously.
Running away from your responsibilities, like you do every time your "troubles" are brought up. You voted for a racist and then were "shocked" that your fellow Trump voters were racists.
WHA DAAa?!?
Ding ding ding
Fuck this administration. There's something new to protest every damn day.
You're the one that said "have a good weekend". I assumed that meant you were not coming back. Whatever you would like to talk about is fine with me.

1) In life, I have zero troubles.
2) Anytime this comes up it's like Game of Thrones "SHAME" from literally a bunch of strangers on a message board. I don't even know if you are the same crew that was in the other threads where we discussed this. You like to distort peoples points of view and lump them together into one Orange bucket (i.e. people who were flashing swastikas and wearing Trump hats at a protest vs people there who voted for Trump and wont stand for that kind of shit in their neighbourhood.
3) I am an animal rights activist and didn't see this coming. And as a result of this I have regrets but won't sit here and wallow. I will always do as much as I can. Example - We are flying a dog in from Puerto Rico next week that was found on Dead Dog Beach. That was already in play before this happened. But now we have to do more.
Are you doing more for the causes you care about? Or are you going to keep crying online about the state of the world?
