Others, including ones self can believe a thing to be immoral, while still being legal. But, increasingly those in our litigeous society are making more things illegal. It's time we started voting in some law repealers.

One thing that instantly springs to mind is sex. :) Say no more.
I happened by the Animal Planet channel the other day and the animal rescue show was on. The SPCA representative was showing a bird in a cage that had been extremely pecked by its uncooperative mate. They were pressing charges against the owver of the birds, because the birds did not get along and the owner did not separate them before the "pecking" incident. I can understand enforcing animal cruelty laws on people who abuse or neglect animals in an obviously intentional manner. But, growing up on a farm, I saw my share of animal on animal cruelty that we humans were unable to prevent.
Although, my little sister still has nightmares about the chicken and duck slayings gone awry.
