Wow. There's a sad truth about it? I thought thought dog fighting was nothing but happy smiles and rainbow sugar!!
Which is worse though, more people dying in Iraq every day or that dogs are treated like, well, dogs?
It's not like we treat our fellow man much better:
This is what I get for reading the news when I say I shouldn't bother anymore--assaulted with "horrible" stories about how mean this man was to puppies. Puh-lease. That's nothing (sadly).
THANK YOU! It's about time someone said this. I have to monitor the news wires for work and I swear there is literally NOTHING coming over the services except Michael Vick stories. I might have heard a blip about, you know, Alberto gonzales doing something, but otherwise it's ALL VICK, ALL THE TIME.
ReplyDeleteIt's not just that people's outrage is reserved for tortured dogs rather than tortured people; it's only reserved for cute animals. If only Michael Vick could have invested in one of our nation's many popular non-cute animal death sports - like cock-fighting or ratting - then he would be sitting pretty today.
Glad I'm not alone in this sentiment, Mike! Our priorities as a country are so out of whack that I can't imagine how much worse it will get before people demand change.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting, by the way! Great to hear from you!
