Vick Sick

There is the Vick scandal, which is outrageous. And now, in Tulsa, there is an animal rescue that seemed to be a great organization, but was dumping dead carcasses at the City Pound and sheltering dogs and cats that were skin and bones. Very sad.

But sadder still is the din and length of the outrage expressed - almost unparalleled. I can't think of another star scandal that has received such a loud and unanimous negative reaction. Even murder has not caused this kind of outrage. What has happened to our society that the only immoral act that we can all agree upon is animal cruelty?

If we labeled the full term baby who has his brains sucked out before forcing him through the birth canal a "puppy" would he receive more compassion?
