Although I get the gist of your comment, I think it only fair to say that FR has always had moral and just people who have families, and pets, and care about the treatment of pets. That they would want to post on a thread about killing trained military dogs for no good reason just makes sense.

I'm glad someone understands. Thanks for saying so, and for not merely trying to shut me up.

I, too, care about the treatment of my dogs. But I realize that it's best for them - and for me - if I bear in mind that God made me in His image, and placed them beneath me. When I forget that, both I and my pets suffer for it.

There's the way things should be, and there's the way things are. And the gap between the two is getting wider all the time.

You make a good point. When we elevate dogs to equality with human beings, we get exactly what you describe here:

while we EUTHANIZE the dogs, we just let humans like TERRI SCHIAVO die painfully overs weeks deprived of the things we normally provide to dogs.... food and water.

Why some FReepers can't connect the dots puzzles me. Though they don't realize it, they're following the lead of PETA and other Darwinist enterprises, with no idea where it leads.

Judging by the responses in this discussion, some simply don't care to see where it leads: to Terri Schiavo's grave.

I should add that we don’t have to be able to connect the dots in order to avoid PETA’s “kill Terri Schiavo” pitfalls. All we have to do is bear in mind what God said about place He assigned to man and the place He assigned to the animals, and both we and our pets will be blessed.

‘Though they don’t realize it, they’re following the lead of PETA and other Darwinist enterprises, with no idea where it leads.

By your own logic, we could’ve averted Terri’s murder by making sure *all* life is held sacred, starting with “lowly” animals.

Because we did not, ‘they” felt free to move up to higher beings.

Remember this when you read of cops shooting harmless dogs because they “felt threatened”.

Once they’ve all become numb to killing dogs [man’s best friend] imagine how easy the transition will be to mankind, itself.

Why you can’t connec the dots puzzles -me-.
