Animals Have Feelings Too

I was brought up to believe that all life was sacred, and that included the lives of animals.
As I grew up, I realized that some animals were bred for human consumption, and although this did not sit well with me I knew it was the way of the world, and accepted as normal practice. However I do have a problem with the killing of animals for sport, men and guns and traps taking the lives of innocent creatures. I have several white- tailed deer that wander through my garden, and although I often blame them for the destruction of my plants (and emptying my bird feeders!) I watch them as they care for their young. How could this beautiful creature be slaughtered and it's young be an orphan just to satisfy a need for man to kill?
I work with my local humane society, and I am shocked at the many cats and dogs that are cruelly treated. One cat had been shot in the mouth by a group of teenagers and had been lying in pain for several hours before being found. It had to have a complete jaw reconstruction, at a great cost to the owner, and suffered many hours of pain. Another instance where a kitten had been placed in a microwave, just so that the owner could see how it would re-act.

What Constitutes A 'Retaliation Situation'?

The term 'whistleblower' has been in the news a lot lately and often has an unfairly negative connotation of espionage or betrayal. Certainly the psychological pressure on employees to remain loyal to their employers and not reveal illegal or unfair practices can be very powerful, and the individuals who do expose a wrongdoing should be celebrated and not vilified in most situations - and also protected.
Florida law does offer considerable protection to so-called 'whistleblowers' as long as they fit the three definitions under F.S. 448.101-448.105 that spell out what the terms employer, employee, and retaliatory action mean.
Employers and Employees
Under Florida whistleblower law, an employer is defined as any private entity that employs ten or more people, whether an individual, partnership, corporation, or association. Thus the whistleblower laws protect employees of even very small companies or other forms of employer. An employee is defined as an individual who performs services under the control or direction of an employer as defined above in return for wages or other renumeration - this excludes independent contractors.
