Gratitude

Have you heard about the couple who escaped from Katrina and beseeched a Church to help them recover their lives. The Church was touched and the congregation helped to finance and build a $75,000 house that was given to the couple, free and clear. To show their gratitude, the couple never moved in, but sold the house for $88,000 and took the money and ran. Not that they hid, they said legally the house was theirs and they could do what they wanted with it. Kind of warms the cockles of your heart, doesn’t it?
I would like to enlist the International Brotherhood of Pyromaniacs to stalk this couple throughout their life and burn down whatever they choose to live in. Let them collect the insurance and move – BOOM, another inferno! And on and on and on. Unlike the Church, who will probably forgive them, I don’t think they deserve to EVER live in comfort.

Deadly Dogs

What kind of person buys a “pit bull” dog? Someone looking for a companion?
A playmate for the kids? A guard dog for protection? No, no, and no.
Mostly they are bought to fight other pit bull dogs for fun and profit. Some demented people buy them under the false notion that somehow the dogs ferociousness will make that person seem scary by association. “I’ve got a pit bull!” Wow.
I am sure that a pit bull puppy is just as cute and loveable as a baby lion or tiger or crocodile. But with adulthood, their nature thru breeding comes to the fore.
They are bred to attack, to fight, to maul, whatever comes their way. They don’t understand that the owner really wants them to wait to fight other dogs, there are human infants and toddlers to be had.
Yes, todays paper had a story about a 4 year old child being torn to shreds by two pit bulls while the mother unsuccessfully tried to disengage them. Can you imagine? I shudder to think of it.
I am an animal lover. I have had many cats and dogs under my care that were like children to me. Yet, I can think of no reason, with the plethora of breeds available to humans that pit bulls should continue breeding. They are nothing but a menace to society.
Sterilize the breed, save lives.
