Is the hate for the president so extreme that we can’t even appreciate that he signed into law a bipartisan bill against animal cruelty?

Seriously WTF?! Isn’t this law a good thing?

We don’t have to give Trump credit for the law, but can’t we lay off calling him a hypocrite and whatever else?

A friend of mine showed me texts from her brother about the bill, and then went on to say Trump has never had a pet in his life, that Trump is one of “those people” who hates dogs. I’m sorry, but there are some people who don’t have pets (me) who certainly care about the welfare of dogs and cats and all animals. I can’t speak for Trump, but I certainly don’t assume he hates animals.

It’s just getting ridiculous. Plus, I find it personally offensive that people who don’t have pets are stereotyped this way.

Can’t we just be happy there is a federal law now. Leaving it up to the states has not been sufficient. Some states woefully lack protection for animals. If you’ve ever seen Oprah’s report on the dog breeding farms in Pennsylvania from several years ago, trust me it will give you nightmares if you have any humanity at all. Hopefully, those laws had been changed already, I don’t know.
