>>I guess that’s why the reporting of these stories always irritate me...I like dogs, but I like people more, and it just seems like our society places more priority on the suffering of animals than people.<<

That’s my main problem with this stuff. It irritates me more than I should let it.

Yes, that's true for me too - as is probably apparent from my most recent posts to the thread. I should let things go far sooner than I do.

It appears that we are in good company, however, since there are also people on hair-trigger-sensitivity to our irritation. (And they always seem to read the wrong motive into the irritation, and attack that motive first.)
