reprehensible inaction, untold numbers of innocent bunnies
to die from malicious attack by vicious carnivores! i furthermore
propose a law to disallow postings after midnight, for they

Actually, it should be illegal to prevent any being from assisting the
recipient of an act of force. That is to say, if Jerry Seinfeld and the
three other New Yorkers attempted to prevent the consensual assistance
of, say, a passer-by, towards the fat man being mugged, this would be
illegal. And indeed, should be illegal. If an animal liberationist seeks
to prevent a human from killing a boosted cat, who has the intelligence
of a human five-year old, when it cries for help, if security guards
then arrive and block such assistance, this blockage should constitute a
crime.
