puppies are people too?

There was a feel good news story yesterday. Two horses were abandoned in the back country. A group of volunteers dug a trail through at least a kilometer of deep snow to rescue them. A noble effort, no doubt, was it newsworthy, however? Well that’s a different story. On one hand these same people eat pork chops and eat eggs. Chickens and pigs are treated as if they are but one more stop on an assembly line. They are kept in cages or pens so small they cannot move and or in the case of sows are only enough to suckle their young. An incredibly high pecentage of money given to charities goes to organizations that safeguard the safety of pets. Somehow, the plight of a small child with Aids who is starving in Sub-Saharan Africa is less important than putting an end to the mistreatment of pets here.
