Subject: RE: BS: If a dog was the teacher
Yeah, but frogprince, the proper death for this guy would be to do to him exactly what he did to that dog, and who in their right mind could perform the same thing? That's the catch.

I sometimes go looking for photos of dogs online, the "proud parent" type of comparison--"oh, that's a nice pit bull, but mine is prettier!" During such a search yesterday I came across a law enforcement site that dealt with detecting and enforcing prohibitions against dog fighting. The photos there were horrible--how people could do that to dogs. I had to go out and give my dogs some hugs of solidarity.

Funny that a little while later when I took my dogs out for a walk a fellow driving by stopped and asked if I had papers for my pitbull, wondering if I would breed her. He was disappointed that after she arrived as a stray I'd had her spayed, but that is probably what saves her life--she's not an attractive target for any puppy mills. The fences are up to keep the dogs in, as is the Invisible Fence, and the gates are locked to keep people out, and with two dogs, they will raise quite a fuss if anyone tried to get into the yard to take one of them.
