LETTER:Law should distinguish between `mob' and peaceful protesters
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Mr G. F. Steele
Sir: In your article on Mark Glover, he says "the most basic animal right of all is not to end up on the end of someone's fork". What about feeding pet animals?
When I had a cat, it showed complete disdain for anything other than meat or fish. Looking at the pet food shelves in supermarkets, it would seem that cats and dogs are still unmitigated carnivores. Is the process by which all that meat ends up in tins acceptable to Mr Glover?
Of course, there are two sides to every coin. If he were completely successful in his campaign, and it did lead to the demise of the domestic dog, then he would earn the thanks from those of us who object to having to pick our way through the frightful mess on our pavements.
Your sincerely,
