In either case, it's frightening. Almost a loss of humanity.
On Animal Planet, I watched a segment where a HUGEly overweight woman had a dog chained in her kitchen. She'd walked over and past that animal, several times a day, feeding herself. She was allowing that poor dog to starve. THOSE are the things I want to stop. If I can't help that animal, I'd like to know people like her can never own another pet. If that makes me a Nazi, well, there you go.
I know nothing about her children, if any. Seems to me they would have received the same treatment.
I agree, Ringy. There are people who don't deserve the love of children OR animals, and mistreatment of either is just wrong.
