Whatever your opinion on Russia's politic, whatever your opinion about her political view to which she is entitled to, you speak of a human being.
Why should I be? I am not the one exploiting her disability for advantage. If anything, I was being snide towards Western culture's response to her disability and our overly emotional response to pets and the fact that we tend to focus on such things instead of the substantive aspects of this issue (her talent vis-à-vis the singing and Russian exploitation of these superficial elements for political advantage).
