What's the difference between neglecting sheep and torturing animals
in lab experiments or factory-farming, for that matter? It's just
as disgusting, but you won't find the D.A. pressing charges. I'm 
not suggesting he shouldn't be prosecuted. It's just that there is
a lot of terrible animal abuse that goes on every day that people
just don't want to look at.
