Please watch. The only way to help animals is to know what they are going through. If we don't have the built-in courage to see what is happening to them, we are letting down mankind as well as those with no voices of their own. It hurts to... look, I know; been there, done that. But these beautiful creatures need our love, our help and our compassion. There are way too many wolves--human ones--who maim, torture and kill animals as though they aren't capable of emotion or feeling pain. The rest of us know differently.

Way to go, Dolly.

(13,062 posts)if you want to compare humans to animals, compare them to baboons: bullying, psychotic, untrustworthy primates like us.

even investigated? That is against the law...

(12,496 posts)not when she was adopted out the first time. That's the problem sometimes--too few people truly being investigated--even when they ask as many questions as they do and do what they can in terms of checking out potential owners, sometimes there just isn't an indication of how horrible those "parents" are.
I've recently been donating more money to law enforcement for animals, hoping to catch some more of the bastards who participate in dog fighting. We really need more high profile arrests like Michael Vick to show those assholes that we're not fooling around anymore, and that anyone who harms an animal in such a vicious "game" will be jailed. Vick is walking around with essentially a slap on the wrist for the shit he did, and we know there are many like him out there.
