NICE BUT NASTY - ANIMAL AGENDA AOTEAROA LINKS ANIMAL CRUELTY TO CHILD ABUSE (Letter to Dom Post, July 31)

It’s nice that Catriona MacLennon and Animal Agenda Aotearoa care about animals (Feeble animal welfare laws should be an election issue, July 30). But it’s nasty that they can recognise a ‘link between animal cruelty, child abuse and domestic violence’ but not the link between cruelty to children before birth (abortion) and after birth (child abuse).  

It’s even nastier that they care about animals as ‘sentient beings capable of feeling’ but not apparently children in utero who suck their thumbs, respond to music, to their mother’s voice and to pain, who are routinely put down with absolutely no regard for the feelings they are scientifically proven to possess.
