A Need To Vent

Out of this whole Michael Vick sick situation, the real losers are the dogs, who will never be claimed.

During my life - which has been longer than I had any right to expect - I have known people who have owned Pit Bulls, Dobermans, Rottweilers and Ridgebacks. These dogs were gentle, loving pets because of the way they were raised - around people and given lots and lots of love and attention.

Any breed of dog can be trained to attack, bite and possibly kill. It's the way they're raised and trained, not the breed.

Now there are something like 55 - 60 dogs that will be put to sleep because they can't be adopted as pets.

Of everything Vick and his co-conspirators are charged with, this is the most heinous crime of all.
