I don't have a dog. I feed the cats and all the woodland potlickers though. They seem to all be able to gobble it all up on their own. They wander around naturally and are free to do what they wish. I haven't had to construct a machine and place it where they forever lay, to tube it into their GI tract on some schedule though.
Have they called you evil or a troll or a murderer yet?
And you thought that rational debate was possible on this subject?
Even the Pope has been called names, not to mention the governor, the 20 judges who have reviewed this case, the many doctors and experts who have testified in court.
This issue is so volatile that Bishop Lynch issued this statement:
Excessive rhetoric like the use of “murder” or the designation of the trial judge or appellate judges as “murderers” not be used by anyone from our Judeo-Christian tradition. This is a much harder case than those who use facile language might know.
When my cat was dying, I ran fluids into her via a tube and needle. I had to put the needle into her several times a day. She died in my arms. It still tears me up. She meant more to me than a lot of people I've encountered these days.
I abhor cruelty to people and cruelty to animals. I am an anachronism, I guess. I'll be gone myself before too long. My health is ruined. Six years ago I was given "maybe" five more years. I'll be glad to be in heaven with my lost pets, rather than the cold blooded animals that stalk this earth in these horrorific times.
