Bill would gut animal cruelty laws

The right-wing bowel trust never misses an opportunity these days to show just how mean they are. And it extends to the abyss of Congress.

Fascist Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has sponsored a measure that would nullify the states' laws against cruelty to animals. Then he gloated about it.

Numerous states have specifically outlawed cruel factory farming practices. Some of the banned practices (such as adding arsenic to chicken feed) were also bad for consumers' health. In some instances, these laws were passed by a voter referendum. But Steve King doesn't care about the will of the people any more than he does about the welfare of animals. That's how sociopaths are.

The electorally endangered congressman is also Congress's biggest opponent of laws to combat dogfighting.

What a disgrace.
