I was looking at the latest numbers and rankings from the Humane Society
about the I animal cruelty States
from 2013 so the Humane Society basically ranked States
in 2013 based on how they deal with animal cruelty
and it's a pretty comprehensive report evaluates all 50 states
and I started looking at the numbers and first I just saw
California is one of the best states in terms of preventing animal cruelty and
punishing it when it happens
and South Dakota is the worst state when it comes to preventing and and punishing
animal cruelty and I said
that interesting California more progressive state South Dakota more
conservative state
let's just see a bigger lest and see if that trend continues because that would
be interesting to look into you
and then it turns out that the states with the best ranking
from the Humane Society when it comes to animal cruelty
are California like I mentioned Oregon
Illinois Massachusetts New York New Jersey Arizona
Washington Colorado Virginia and main interesting
those are mostly liberal states and then I looked at the worst states for animal
cruelty
Missouri Wyoming utah kentucky South Carolina Alabama North Dakota
Mississippi
Idaho and like I mentioned South Dakota
me why is this what reasons could exist for why
the states which have the worst rating and ranking
on animal cruelty are mostly red states and blue states
mostly are at the top a blessed well is it because
red states are typically poor and don't have the money
to protect the animals and we should maybe be looking at why their poor
and that's really the focus or is it because conservatives
care less about animals is it because conservatives in
are more in favor of small government and AC legislation to protect animals
and to govern slaughter houses and farms
as intrusive and maybe that's what it is is it because
the numbers are simply skewed because there are more livestock farms
and slaughterhouses in conservative states and those lend themselves to
hurting the rankings
I honestly don't know the answer I asked the question to you without any
prejudice and I'm curious to hear what the audience things with your
in going on this Louis are to say
it seems like there are are a lot of variables
but I don't know I mean typically we could argue that
that those right-wing minded people
usually seem to care less about life except
or of course if it's like we talked about earlier I in a womb
I human whom I think we should clarify make more episodic
writer human right I am so I don't know
maybe that's it send me your thoughts I'm curious to see what the audience
think they know there will be commentary on this
please consider becoming a supporter at the David Pakman show we are mostly
funded by you
our audience go to David Pakman dot com slash membership to see all of the
membership options that exist
and the long list up membership benefits we will take a break
we will be back after this silly putty in your food what could that possibly
mean
I'll explain after the break
