Only sick people torture animals. However, there are too many people today who believe we are just "animals." We are not! Remember what the definition of "animal" is. This bill would make killing mice, rats, gophers, snakes, etc. a felony, or in the watered-down versions, a misdemeanor. These same laws have been passed in other states with disastrous consequences (i.e., bats out of control).
Walter Williams' recent article titled "Environmental extremism costs lives" (Aug. 15) applies to Henry's law. Read that article and the actual bill before you make a decision about it. Laws very often have unintended consequences like famine and pestilence. No wonder our wise legislators have rejected this bill so many times in the past.
