I couldnt agree with you more. When i was younger my dad would get mad cause i would ball when an animal died (on or off screen) but when it came to humans i didnt cry if it was on a movie.

That's one of the things that makes my mama so mad about this Michael Vick stuff. He is hurting animals and they can defend themselves or ask for help. They have no "voice" except for ours!

I agree. I always say with a dog, I know what I'm getting. If they don't like you, they let you know right away. None of the stab-you-in-the-back behavior humans pull! I'm just as appalled when a small child is treated cruelly. It's the fact the victims are innocent and helpless to defend themselves that always gets me. A person who will abuse an innocent, helpless being should be disposed of. That type of a person is a danger to us all. The penalties for these crimes are way too light! That is my opinion.

My mommy and I agree completely!

Well said, Jazzie. Your quote made my Mom's eye's water.

Albert Einstein said:
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

We agree too. That is a beautiful quote. I have a picture of Me and T with the words. I hope some day to be the person my dog thinks I am.

I love your quote and I am with you on this. We are our pets only hope sometimes, and if we don't care of them, who will? I often feel more sorry for animals than I do for humans...is that wrong?!
