I like dogs, cats, bunny rabbits, lil b@by ducks, mice (OK, not mice!), etc. as much as the next person. And I really disagreed with what Vick did. I have no use for people who fight animals for sport, whether they're dogs, chickens or bulls. But with that said, as soon as the PETA folks said that Vick had assembled breeding contraptions so that the male dogs could "rape" the female dogs, I had to roll my eyes. I've got a news flash for PETA: go to any farm where selective animal breeding takes place, and you'll see loading shoots and breeding stations where the same thing takes place. I'm not saying that the female animals get off on it. But I don't think they need counseling or need to be taken to a domestic violence shelter for puppies and cows either. People REALLY need to lay off the idea that whatever we feel is right or wrong for humans directly applies to animals. That was almost as dopey as the femi-nazis who wanted to charge some dairy farmers with animal cruelty/sexual perversions because they forced female cattle to submit to being milked.
Ya know, if we could find a way to round up all the flakes and wingnuts on the left and the right, I think that's who we should execute.
