With that said though, i feel the Stallworth case is the case obviously lacking the respect for a human life. The sentence should have been WAY stiffer. But, Michael Vick, and everyone directly involved with that horrible display of animal abuse did need punished, the law is the law like it or not, and it was illegal. That is the bottom line, whether you give 2 craps about animals or not. I read your previous blog regarding Vick and kept my almost completely opposite opinion to myself. It was difficult for me, but I did. Animal abuse will always be a touchy subject because of the tree huggers who think that because I like a good juicy chicken leg that I contribute to animal abuse. I am all for HUMANELY killing animals for a good meal, but am definitely against the heart renching, evil abuse that goes into dog fighting. So I guess in some aspects I agree with you and others I don't. Which is OK. But before anyone judges another, we should all keep in mind the Good Book says one sin is no greater than another. Everyone will answer for the life they chose to live.<br />On a lighter note, a part of your blog reminded me a story I once heard.<br />A friend of mine's neighbor had a pet duck. Just like anyone may keep and love a dog or cat. One morning she found her beloved duck lifeless in the front yard and rushed him to vet. The vet examed her dear pet and found him to be beyond help. She begged the vet to run tests, that there must something that could be done. So the vet obliged her feelings of sorrow and brought in a Labrador retriever who hopped up on the table and looked the duck over. He turned to the vet and sorrwofully shook and hung his head. The vet said the dog agrees ma'am. The lady begged for something more accurate, not willing to let go. The vet left and came back with a beautiful Persian cat that also hopped up on the table, sniffed the duck over and had the same sorrowful reaction as the dog. The vet assured the distraught owner that her duck was indeed departed. As he escorted her to the front desk he said I am sorry to ask during this difficult time but that will be $500. To which she exclaimed FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!?!?!?! To tell me my duck is dead? The vet replied, well had you taken my word for it, it would have been free, but when you add $250 each for Lab work and Cat scan.........!!!! hahahahahahahaSusanhttp://susiebadgirl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
