he Salt Lake Olympic Games
Organising Committee is unable to satisfy the animal rights activists... why
is that? And what's new?
In its program of cultural activities that accompanies the Winter Games, an
old West Rodeo event is planned. However, in spite of "its promises to
set an example for how this can be done properly, to the extent humanly
possible", the president of the committee, Mitt Romney, met with the Utah
Animal Rights Coalition. Among measures to be dropped is the calf-roping
event, and yet, the animal rights activists still remain unsatisfied..!

Olympic Games Organising Committees have long been targets of animals
rights activists and this will continue as long as fears of boycotts by
zealots are in the air. These are people who trash laboratories and terrorize
people. They push their agenda while trying to elevate animals toward
personhood.
No one would argue against imposing penalties for cruelty to animals but
animal rights campaigns should not advocate extremists' actions.
