“Republicans ... are conservatives who think it would be best if we faced the fact that people are no damned good. They think that if we admit that we have selfish, acquisitive natures and then set out to get all we can for ourselves by working hard for it, that things will be better for everyone. They are not insensitive to the poor, but tend to think the poor are impoverished because they won't work. They think there would be fewer of them to feel sorry for if the government did not encourage the proliferation of the least fit among us with welfare programs.” PeopleIfsThinkingFeelsHardFactsGovernmentWould BePoorFitRepublicanProgramSorrySelfishWelfareFewerProliferationInsensitiveWelfare Programs Author:Andy Rooney

“I believe that the best way to create good living conditions for any animal, whether it's a captive animal living in a zoo, a farm animal or a pet, is to base animal welfare programs on the core emotion systems in the brain. My theory is that the environment animals live in should activate their positive emotions as much as possible, and not activate their negative emotions any more than necessary. If we get the animal's emotions rights, we will have fewer problem behaviors... All animals and people have the same core emotion systems in the brain.” PeopleIfsWayShouldBelieveProblemI BelieveAnimalEmotionBrainEnvironmentRightsConditionsTheoryBehaviorNegativeProgramCoreBest WayWelfarePetFarmsFewerZoosCaptivesAnimal WelfareActivateNegative EmotionsGood LivingPositive EmotionsWelfare ProgramsLiving Conditions Book:Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals Source: Animals Make Us Human: Creating the Best Life for Animals
