(62,444 posts)...I found it surprising that a former Secretary of State would single out a friendly allied country as some sort of negative example.
She could have made the point without dragging Demmark into it.
All the Danes will be waking up in a few hours and get the headlines "Hillary Clinton Declares US Not To Be Denmark".
I'm sure it will be puzzling and vaguely insulting to them.

One thing Denmark does that I do NOT like is they put down zoo animals and then DISSECT them in front of small CHILDREN.....they say it is "educational." I think this is a bit rough for a young kid.

A spokeswoman for the Humane Society International in Europe, Wendy Higgins, accused the zoo of "making a macabre spectacle out of a much deeper tragedy."
The group said it highlighted widespread over-breeding of lions and "thousands of other animals" in zoos.
