Well I don't think it's all that consistent with American core principles to identify people as one "class" or another, but since liberals are determined to do it, I think that the endangered species at this point in our slide toward socialism is the "investment class," and ultimately as a result, the "working class."  But back to the plight of the animals.  Josephine County is finding out firsthand what happens when animals are elevated above human beings, and human life continues to be devalued.  In the end, it furthers the liberal agenda and pushes us further down the aforementioned "slide."  So I guess it's all good as far as they're concerned since that's what matters.
