I don't know why you perceived it as patronizing. Jury Nullification exactly applies here, since that means that the jury is instructed to judge the law as well as the facts of the case. It's discouraged in corrupt jurisdictions around the country because it interferes with the court system's ability to extract the wealth from the citizens. If vaccine laws are bad, and yes they ARE, then what we need to do is educate everyone subject to them, so they will get actively involved in changing things. Vaccine "laws are written by the pharmaceutical companies, whose vested interests are at stake if we stop allowing them to poison our pets. Vaccine "laws" aren't even laws, they're statutes and codes, but that's a whole 'nother subject.
I found a way around rescue "laws". I paid out of pocket for all veterinary procedures and personally placed 32 animals in quality homes a year with the assistance of Ali Chouhan, DVM (deceased). He is not the only vet involved in rescue work here, either. It may be your personal opinion that vets are too busy, but the facts don't support that, ma'am. Perhaps you, with your legal background can become part of the solution, rather than taking umbrage as if it was aimed directly at you when I complained about folks who are well intentioned, while exacerbating the problems natural-pathers encounter when they rescue or buy from a conformist breeder. I won't apologize for wanting to get us all on the same page. This blog is called Vital Animal & The Natural Path for a reason. I live with a vaccine damaged animal, along with five others who aren't. With that staring you in the face every day of your existence, the reality of the corrupt, industrial medical complex run by big pharma really hits home. I'm passionate about doing something about that, I'm not here to brag about all the good things I've done, patronize anybody or defend my beliefs, which are mainstream here. You can join us...or not.
