[quote="John Childress"][quote="thebigo"][quote="John Childress"][quote="Todd Mallett"]So what was accomplished with your 2 posts John? Showing worse things happen? Good job. It's a defense mechanism IMO. Don't look here, look here. Each tragedy deserves empathy. Each heinous crime deserves swift justice. This is why things continue to take forever to change. This deserves to be looked at and so do the things you care about but you seem willing to toss this aside because the things you care about rank higher on your priority list. It doesn't matter if this is the worst thing one can think of or the 100th worst thing, you shouldn't just push it aside and say you couldn't care less.[/quote] Let me be more clear There are HUMAN BEINGS being killed right now with their cases unsolved. SCREW THOSE DOGS This is a story that deserves national attention http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/06/schoolyard.killings.ap/index.html Enough of some dogs being killed when our young adults are being murdered on the streets. These were 3 young kids on their way to college I couldn't care less about Vick while human beings, people's children, are being murdered.[/quote] Everybody has their own thing. Lot's of folks would look at you and I, and wonder how we can spend the time we do enjoying the game of football, while we could be spending that time easing others suffering, etc.[/quote] Bad anology The national press isn't following our every post wondering why aren't saving lives. And I actually do that for a living so it is not valid here anyway. Again, enough of the dogs - we have real problems in this country. Part of the reason why this country is in bad shape is this National Enquirer mentality. Look at how many elections are won or lost based on non-issues like abortion (which the person has no control over anyway) or whether or not they had an affair 20 years ago.[/quote] :soapbox: :rant: :club: :argue: :angry: I have to agree with JC. The Vick crap is detestable but it is not uncommon nor isolated. Animals are abused, abandoned and die with sickening regularity. The number of animals euthanized at human societies yearly numbers in the tens or hundreds of thousands. They are ANIMALS. NOT PEOPLE, few Enough people care about Animal abuse because, on a persons list of priorities that cause outrage, speaking for myself, Child abuse, murder, rape, bigotry, discrimination, partisan politics, war, disease, pollution and a WHOLE HOST of other issues Come in ahead of the cruel fate of over bred and unwanted animals in a society that considers disposable items a convenience. All my pets are adoptee's from animal shelters. If you really care, narc off the puppy mills and adopt a few forlorn, abandoned animals from a local shelter. http://www.americanhumane.org/site/PageServer?pagename=nr_fact_sheets_animal_euthanasia Of the 1,000 shelters that replied to the National Council's survey, 4.3 million animals were handled. In 1997 roughly 64% of the total number of animals that entered shelters were euthanized -- approximately 2.7 million animals in just these 1,000 shelters.These animals may have been put down due to overcrowding, but may have been sick, aggressive, injured, or suffered something else. 56% of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. More cats are euthanized than dogs because they are more likely to enter a shelter without any owner identification. If you see a SCARRED UP PIT BULL BEING WALKED OR ON A CHAIN IN SOME BACK YARD, make the call> dON'T JUST "TISK. TISK, AND WALK ON BY LOOKING THE OTHER WAY. RANT OVER
