Hitler and Animal Welfare

[Catherine]

It is Important to focus on the issue of animal rights itself. If we did a search of history we might find some very odd people were concerned about some aspect of animal rights. You can never judge a cause by the ones who seem to support it.

I use the word seem to support it because we do not know why he put in animal protection laws and we do not know why he was vegetarian.

I doubt it was a well thought out decision to respect life. His actions in other areas certainly show he only respected the lives that he valued.
He valued a very narrow range of people. The rest he discarded cruelly.

Hitler rejected animal testing, but used human subjects instead.

Bonhoeffer was a good man wasn't he. We studied him and read his writings.
