I see what you mean. Many of us, especially those in US, very often tend to make two sides in everything. Abortion and right to live are not really just two issues. There are whole spectrum of issues, challenges, and thoughts. With that said, if I were younger in my early 20's, I might have been quite interested in laying down with these young ladies... to make a point too of course. ;) Hmm. I see what you mean.

Overwhelming 97%+ respondents replied "yes" and the remaining were mainly "maybe" or "i don't know" or something like that. I wish I can share the original poll, but as you can see, this blog isn't really about dogfights or that poll. This blog is about how most people think they know exactly where they stand with animal rights, but reality doesn't necessarily give us black-and-white options like that poll. Many people identify with animal rights activists, because it's easy to empathize with animals. But the situation wouldn't necessarily be better if we follow what they advocate. On the picture, the girls in Ukraine advocating against hunting is using an interesting marketing tactic. Their lying on the ground as though they are dead, smeared in blood-like paint metaphorically symbolize their mistaken moral stance, that killing animals is like killing humans.

The question that immediately comes to mind is: So why did you write this post? What happened that made you want to write about this? Interesting post.
