NY county creating list of animal abusers | US National Headlines | Comcast.net
Ah, for the slippery slope. At first glance, you might think that lists like Sex offenders and Animal abusers are a great idea, but take a deeper look into them and you find that they are fraught with problems. First off many of these lists wind up including those simply accused of misdeeds, and are not true lists of those convicted. I can't support lists with problems like that, and I am not sure I really want the government compiling lists of people suspect of anything. If the lists were those who were iron clad convicted, it might be a different thing, another glance at some of these lists will tell you that they are not even rooted in government and are created by special interest groups.
SO before you give a cheer to more lists complied on people, think about what history has taught us about the abuse and inaccuracy of these lists....and take a second look....
