Animals, The Forgotten Victims Of The Bush Administration

2008-06-11T15:32:32Z

There is a reason that Baxter the Bulldog is tearing apart a George Bush chew toy in this video.

Hidden amidst the human beings on this planet that have suffered at the hands of the Bush administration are millions of voiceless and helpless animals. No matter what one thinks of animals and their importance in our lives, most compassionate human beings would acknowledge that they deserve to be treated humanely and and offered some modicum of protection. George Bush doesn’t fall into that camp. Dr. Albert Schweitzer said this,

Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives.

Under the stewardship of George Bush, the U.S. has become the world's biggest butcher of mammals, while numerous governmental agencies conduct horrendous research daily on animals. His administration promotes animal consumption in the form of government giveaways and grazing discounts to cattlemen and Bush has endorsed and promoted a plan to allow trophy hunters to shoot endangered species in other countries and import the trophies and hides into the United States. It's no wonder why George Bush displays such a callous indifference to animals, when one considers his past.

Longtime Bush friend, Terry Throckmorton, recalled George Bush’s legacy of animal cruelty when he was a young boy in Midland Texas where, among other things, he and a group of friends delighted in blowing up frogs.

We were terrible to animals said Throckmorton. A dip behind the Bush barn turned into a small lake after a good rain, and thousands of frogs would come out. Everybody would get BB guns and shoot them, or we'd put firecrackers in the frogs and throw them and blow them up.

Years ago, George Bush was named "Governor of the Year" by Safari International, the world's leading trophy hunting organization which has maintained close ties to the Bush Administration. Bush has even appointed a former top lobbyist of the Safari Club to be the deputy director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, surprise, an agency promoting the plan to allow the selling off of endangered species to private interests who has generally been supportive of Safari's entire agenda. While running for President, Bush also received the most contributions of any presidential candidate from the slaughterhouse industry, factory farms and cattle ranchers.

Violent acts toward animals have long been recognized as indicators of a dangerous psychopathy that does not confine itself to animals. The progressive web site BuzzFlash says this about George Bush.

Bush is a model narcissistic sociopath, who is devoid of the ability to empathize. It is the characteristic of such people to have the ability to "appear" to be concerned about others, but that is just for show. The inner heart is empty. You can knock all you want, but you won’t find anyone home in the empathy department when it comes to sociopathic personalities.

The Bush Administration's disdain for and cruelty towards the earth's animals is exemplified by the horrific policies and actions of his administration which are detailed here. What follows after the break is sure to be disturbing to many, so be forewarned.
