Yes, this matter really angers me as well. I personally attend to (you never own) 8 cats who I have taken in over the years due to their being no good options for them. One in particular is a tortoiseshell hemingway cat with 7 toes per front paw (lol) abandoned in another one of societies' shining moments- the hurricane Katrina debacle. We had Veterinarians in GA volunteering to help, but they were told they were not needed. Ather the fact, they know now to say f$%^ the system if it happens again. My katrina victim is missing all of her molars now, has to have special kidney food. I knew she didnt stand a chance within our society after she fought to survive, herself. As far as fighting dogs are concerned, I have a friend in N. Georgia who takes in abused/homeless/unwanted pit bulls due to the alternative of them going to the wrong types of people like Mrs. Vick. The problem is- people breed them like rabbits due to the demand for them. He can only manage so many. Actually, most people who breed dogs and cats bother me due to there already being plenty of homeless animals as well. Florida is the worst example of society's cruelty towards our mammalian (and otherwise) friends. Not only the genocide of MILLIONS of homeless animals, but also whole sport of dog racing, and greyhounds. Plus, fighting dogs, abandoned exotic pets, etc. I love the whole "get out of my ocean going yacht's way in this 15 foot deep river you stupid manatee" mentality about the place. I lasted only 8 months there. Hell, it was only two weeks after arriving that I knew I was getting outta that sick place. I also had a neighbor call animal control due to some feral cats in the neighborhood. Apparently, a raccoon (from my personal observation later) tore his little pool screen back yard thingy up. After eradicating several feral animals, one of my 9 (now 8) cats and my neighbors cat were murdered along with them. Why you ask? Well this guy never informed his 5 neighbors with cats of what was going on. Animal control was using a metal cage with CANNED CAT FOOD! less than 75 feet from all of these neighbors to catch his vermin. After two blown motors and property damage, I hope he accepts some guilt. losing money will do that to a republican.

Being no lover of overpaid professional atheletes, I dont give a crap about Mrs. Vick. I personally think my genitalia swing at a greater height than the stature of an abusive coward. Screw the dogs, I'd like that piece of action in a closed room. What scares me the most is the people that our society place on a pedestal in the first place. Which came first, the chicken, or the egg? Idiot celebrities, or an idiot society choosing said celebrities? Should he get off with less than Martha Stewart? She didnt even hurt anyone. Would he have been front page material if he were not some form of mediocre celebrity? I think not. Is an old friend of mine's mother front page material due to her taking in, since I was a teenager, hundreds of dogs, hundreds of cats, volunteering with the SPCA and nursing young wild animals back to health due to our negligence, or volunteering at the Asheboro, NC zoo? No. Who do you think I respect more as I am older and wiser- societies' shining, provided examples, or my own evaluated examples for role models? I think I decide for myself who goes on a pedestal.

RIP doggies. Hold that soap tight whatever your name is Vick, didnt know who the hell you were before and I live an hour from your recess time team the eagles? hawks? english sparrows? Whatever. Anyways, quoting one of the Wayans brothers with a slight lisp, " He came in a tight end, and now he's a wide receiver." Pack away bubba!
