Yes a lot of people on this forum always brush off animal cruelty stories. Blows my mind, frankly.
Mine too....so disheartening...
“Yes a lot of people on this forum always brush off animal cruelty stories. Blows my mind, frankly.”
Some people get more upset about a dog getting killed than a human being getting killed. That’s what blows my mind.
One woman approached my priest asking for assurances that her dead dog was in heaven. He told her simply “No, it isn’t”.
There’s an image I can’t quite forget, and it’s a cruelty that I don’t think ever goes away....
....Vick had enough money to have those dogs who so angered him be given a needle to rid them from his life. Not that this was right given the dog fighting thing but let’s just allow that if Vick wanted the dogs be gone from his life, he certainly had the funds to pay a flackie to give them a quick needle that they be gone.
But Vick himself personally took those dogs by their back legs and flung them viciously against a brick wall that they die horrifically.
Vick did this. It’s an awful thing to do and requires a huge amount of cruelty in one’s psyche.
I allow that he did his time, I think he has a right to pursue his craft, I’ll even believe Vick won’t do it again cause he doesn’t want to get caught and for no other reason that I’ll buy.
But don’t ask me to forgive that kind of cruelty. Best I can do is try not to think about it at all.
I also reserve the right to never root for the Phillies or any team with Vick on it, I think Obama should not even go there with this ersatz praise of Vick, I reserve the right to not be upset if Vick gets hurt during the play though I’ll not wish it.
Anybody that can do to a living thing what Vick did will never be trusted/liked or admired in my world. And for sure HE SHOULD NOT EVER AGAIN BE GIVEN A DOG...please let’s not be THAT dumb.
