Letter: A Kind Arizona Through Animal Compassion

There is much diverse natural beauty across #Arizona, yet there is much ugliness to bear. Countless studies have shown that #animals heal the spirit, and yet we abuse them so. Walk into several Arizona malls and you’ll find #commercial pet stores selling #puppies shipped here from out-of-state #puppymills. Shop at #Costco and you’ll encounter promotions for #Dolphinaris, where magnificent creatures have been diminished to incarcerated laborers performing for humans.

Visit the Grand Canyon and ignore gunshots you might hear due to Rep. #PaulGosar’s bill to cull Canyon bison and allow trophy hunters to walk off with body parts.

Gosar also seeks destruction of the #EndangeredSpeciesAct on behalf of his agricultural and dirty-energy interests. There are 64 threatened or endangered species in Arizona, yet Gosar doesn’t give a hoot. Be careful if out hiking; you may get caught in the crossfire of #wildlife killing contests blessed by Arizona Game and Fish.

How about some kindness in this state?
