Indeed you do not understand. But if you want folks here to "go figure" it is best to lay out the full picture:

BERLIN — The Berlin Zoo's abandoned polar bear cub Knut looks cute, cuddly and has become a front-page media darling, but an animal-rights activist insisted Monday he would have been better off dead than raised by humans.
...
Albrecht's assertion prompted quick condemnations from the zoo, politicians and other animal-rights groups.

If the civil rights movement was framed by the hate of Malcolm X rather than the love of Martin Luther King, Blacks would have had to sit at the back of the bus a few more years -- but eventually society would have figured out the truth that lies at the heart of the issue...

perhaps you will too in regards to animal rights (but it will take a lot longer if you keep getting your news from FOX).

Keep your questions coming JJ. I'm here to help.

Animal rights activists ARE here to protect animal rights. Fox "News" focuses on one radical jerk in Berlin, but never, never, never covers the tireless work of absolutely wonderful human beings who make the lives of animals on this planet a tad less cruel.

Fox is a disgusting network of propaganda. It's the worst apple in the rotten cesspool of corporate media. What the hell are you watching/reading that crap for? Go figure.

You want to talk about cruelty to animals? Please take a look at what corporate pharmaceutical companies do to animals.

Does Fox cover this?

thanks Jane. I clicked the link but closed it as soon as the video started. I can't bare to watch.

I'm going to start a thread on the animal testing issue and I'll copy the link there too.

I didn't see their plight addressed on FOX or CNN or any other corporate media outlet. Why would that be? I mean, FOX NEWS cares about the plight of animals? Right?
