ANIMALS ARE NOT MORE IMPORTANT THAN PEOPLE

Editor, The Record:

Re: Government's priority should not be addicts but animals:

Sorry, but even as a lover of animals, I cannot condone ignoring the needs 
of human beings in favour of animals.

On the other hand, if the scholarly evidence in drug policy were 
implemented properly, and the drug war on the Canadian people ended, there 
would be plenty of resources to spend on both humans and animals.

Perhaps more Canadians need to work to counter the propaganda being put out 
by zero tolerance zealots which is their political tool to nullify the 
scholarly advice, allof which for 60 years and more has recommended 
decriminalization.
