The issue of animal rights activists affects *all* of us. Maybe not this
post, today or this week, but sonner or later, it will. My purpose in
posting this message publicly is to remind folks that they can save
themselves a lot of hassle from the animal rights people by spending a
little time educating them in a friendly manner. If this is not an issue
for you, congratulations---feel free to hit the delete key! I, for one,
would prefer *not* to wait for some well-meaning but misinformed person to
threaten to close my favourite ride before doing something to prevent that
outcome.
