kathleen, let s talk about steve king. in your latest column, you take on the iowa republican congressman. the piece is titled steve king s inhuman farm bill measure. you write, in part, a handful of animal rights advocates have been dpglued to the farm bill, which, you ll recall, became controversial when house republicans severed a fad stamp provision that customarily has been attached to the measure, but you may have escaped much notice. but it would preempt state and local laws governing food production and other animal-related industries, including puppy mills, confinement of farm animals, animal fighting, shark finning, and the sale of meat from horses, dogs and cats. does he really think that dog fighting is fine? yes, he fought measures to restrict dog fighting and he thought it was just, you know, an issue of parental autonomy,
