Animal activism really seems to draw a weird crowd. Don't get me wrong, I love animals and I'm definitely against mistreating them, and there are tons of wonderful people out there every day working in shelters, rescues, and non-profits that are doing a lot of good for our furry friends - furry friends that are deserving of happy, healthy lives, and loving homes.

But there are also some real characters that take up the mantle of "animal activist" who will outspokenly put their own weird notion of an animal's best interests above everything and everyone else in the world. People like this probably need some kind of therapy.

What is wrong with these people. I am a blind woman, though I don't use a guide dog personally, I have friends that do. Their dogs are treated like a life companion and are loved. They have a symbiotic relationship that sighted people and this stupid activist clearly can't understand.

The irony is that the cow screaming at them caused more upset and harm to the dogs. They get distressed when we do and those dogs were probably asleep or just relaxing before she showed up. I hope she’s ashamed of her drunk stupid self this morning.

these same "activists" would change their tunes rather quickly if they themselves were placed in a position where the lost some or all of their sight. I have said it to many of my close friends, all these people want is their 15 minutes of fame and are forcing their sociopolitical BS onto others

Poke out his eyes

This guy is just a media hound, though. Wrong to be "abused", sure. But if I see his name anywhere it's always because of something negative in the press. This sort of constant media attention does very little for those of us who are blind and just, y'know ... want to live normal lives...

Friend has a guide dog and she (the dog) seems to enjoy every minute of what she does. The dog is always friendly and in a good mood.

Animals are like people. If you force them to do stuff they don't want, to do, they will let you know.

Crazy as this is, it's one of those things that are so totally crazy that it's easy to write off. If someone's that nuts, who cares. And I don't even like dogs.
