Letter to Senator Inhofe

Senator James Inhofe, with all due respect:
I'm an animal lover and wish to express to you my concern about what I've read in the Shac 7 web page:
"Today we see a return of these tactics in the collaboration between U.S. Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) and F.B.I. Deputy Assistant Director John Lewis. In hearings last year, Lewis labeled the animal liberation and environmental movements the biggest domestic terrorism threats facing the country".
I find these words pretty ironic and hypocritical especially when they come from people who are supposedly working for JUSTICE to be done.
In this world like it or not we need to learn how to coexist with the animals and with the environment. We live in an environment, we are surround by it and we make our living possible because of the animals. Everything that we need to survive is directly or indirectly extracted from nature. By nature, I mean: animals, plants and the environment. What these means Senator Inhofe, since I’m aloud to speak freely in this country, is that I’m urging you to rethink your positions on this issue. You shouldn't agree with such statement because we need to provide care for nature, not only for humans. It is very simple. We live because of nature. And if you believe in God I’m incline to say that this God that we both believe in does not see fit to our negative actions against nature, against animals who are constantly abused by humans in industrial farms, in testing laboratories and in the entertainment field such as circuses and zoos.
Please speak for the animals not against them. You are in a position where you can make radical changes, but they should be positive ones.
