One of the more interesting candidates thus far is Dennis Kucinich. I consider myself a republican dog. Damn those demoncrats! Yet Dennis Kucinich could make me jump the fence. He loves dogs. Not just for photo ops either. He is the only 2008 presidential candidate with an animal rights position on official website. Dennis Kucinich has a high regard for dogs and all other animals. He is the only vegan in the U.S. House of Representatives.
This is part of what he has to say about animals:
"...We lift up the cause of humanity by reaching out and connecting with all things living. It is our sense of interconnection with all living things that bring us to respect the rights of animals; to understand that animals are not to be "lower than"; that animals should not have less of a claim to existence, less of a claim to the possibility of survival, less of a claim to dignity..."
Dennis Kucinich on animal rights
Dennis Kucinich, I would like to lick your face! No really. I like this guy. Dogs need to take a closer look. He is a kind-hearted human. We need a president like that. These posts are just to point out dog friendly candidates. And some that are not so dog friendly. It is not to tell you who to vote for. Every dog must judge for themself. I will be listing more of the good, bad and ugly within the next few weeks.
