Dog Fighting...

I just heard a story on one of the radio shows about how an NFL player's being held responsible (we'll see if it actually happens or not) for his involvement in some illegal dog fighting on his property. That, when it comes down to it, as terrible as it is that it happened, important as it is that it be stopped, is not the main matter at hand here, however.

I'm sure I'm not the only person who's heard of PETA - People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals. They're a wild bunch - none too nice, and certainly viscious when it comes to their beliefs. They will go to seemingly any lengths for the protection of those animals... and indeed in the past they've gone to almost rediculous lengths to get their point across.

Tonight, though, I have to say I agree with one of Mark Levin's callers. He spoke of how similar deeds as were being done to those poor canines were being undertaken in Iraqi prisons before the United States went in to the country and dealt with the monster formerly called Saddam Hussein.

Simply enough, all the time I hear people screaming about how we need to treat ANIMALS more fairly... I have one question for them: Where are you when PEOPLE are being tortured in a similar fashion?

These are the same people who support the 'Libs and say that Republicans/Conservatives are 'Monsters'. It's such hypocrisy that they say these things, and then when the time comes to step up behind their beliefs and support them for a creature that we do not consider an 'animal' (e.g., a cat, dog or rabbit), such as a man or woman being held captive, they are NOWHERE to be seen!

Hypocrisy DOES love to run in packs, doesn't it, now?

I know they (referring to the aforementioned 'libs (liberals) probably won't be willing to listen, and even if they do, the chances are that they will say I'm being 'rediculous', or 'unfair'.

Very unfair that I think we should grant our own kind the same fair treatment that so many (including myself) feel that animals of all sorts deserve, no?

Where are the ethics of it, my friends, if we won't give our own kind the same respect we give other species?
