You hit the nail on the head! I actually heard Brian Wilson of Fox News (I think that's his name) ask a guest whether they will be able to reinsert Terri's feeding tube "back into her arm" if ordered to do so by court order! A feeding tube in the arm? Also, having only observed video of Terri, it seems to me that she is not persistantly vegetative, that she can communicate, but that she is severely brain impaired. I also heard Eleanor Clift refer to her as "brain dead". Now, there are people that would argue that Eleanor makes comments that would lead us to believe that ELEANOR is brain dead, but I don't think that one can say that Terri is brain dead. Personally, I feel that starving and dehydrating her is cruel and inhuman.
"Personally, I feel that starving and dehydrating her is cruel and inhuman." I agree. You can't treat your dog like this.
Maybe we can get local animal control authority involved.
From the Pinella's County animal control laws....
Sec. 14-32. Cruelty to animals.
