Last time i checked this is still a free country. We do not need the health department following us around telling us how to live. Btw, why isnt your channel covering all the court cases happening with the election? Why are you not covering the thousands of cases of voter fraud?

The country is at a very fragile state right now, and if a person were to get drunk on power, it could be very damaging to the morale of that community. That's why our government built-in checks and balances into its law making process, unfortunately there are loop holes that can be exploited.

Local administrations know what is happening in their city/county and should be allowed to enact orders accordingly. (And, except possibly in the case of very small towns, these decisions are not really made by one person - there are others that help create the orders.)

Plenty of people already ignore mask orders & add to the COVID-19 spread. Many follow the orders BECAUSE there are orders. Many cities and citizens have been slow to react, if they even do, to stopping the virus. Apparently concern for the health of others rates under temporary discomfort of masks.

Nothing is ever going back to what it once was. You will continue to fall. You only have your contentment now.

Missouri should enforce strict laws against animal abuse—because any society that calls itself evolved must protect the voiceless. Cruelty tolerated is cruelty normalized, and no state that values progress can afford that.

Yes the voiceless, to include humans as well. Babies need voices as well.

Currently, MO is the country's leader in puppy mills. Punish these horrible monsters who traffic in the misery of poor animals!

Dogs are the most loyal animals and love you unconditionally no matter how they are treated and it is just heartbreaking to see them mistreated or abused!

Missouri has been notorious for puppy mills that sell sick puppies and treat dogs horrible.

Because we need to be advocates for the animals that get taken advantage of. They can’t fight for them for themselves. Some humans are very cruel

Totally agree, look at how we treat our children in the womb as if they are a burden when actually its us who didn't take accountability for our own actions. Humans are selfish and cruel.

I think the more pertinent question would be should dogs and other domesticated animals kept as pets be considered property or have other more humane rights? This has nothing to do with breeding. The dogs were neglected and suffered immensely.

We need more room fulls of people in J.C. working out the details of sports betting, thereby sending exponentially more people into compulsive gambling, and eventually bankruptcy. To hell with protecting the innocent animals.
