On the outside, trickling down on the Insiders
We won't live free until the Democrats, and their voters, live in fear.
As a libertarian, I reject the notion that pets are merely property and can be abused however the owner sees fit, under the same rational that children, also considered "property," cannot be abused.
I'm extremely libertarian, a strong minarchist with anarchist leanings in some respects, and I believe the rational used by those libertarians to be total bull$#@!. Maybe I'm the anomaly among libertarians on this issue here, I don't know, or care, frankly. I don't think their logic holds up here.
I will say, you are right though. Many libertarians won't win people over with views like that.
Don't believe this ruling is going to in any way negatively impact the protection of animals from abuse. Animals will still have protection from cruelty/neglect. And abusers will still be prosecuted.
The court ruling was only addressing a technicality in the conducting of the search. And it sounds like the court make the correct call.
