Vick and his dogs
I kind of hate to revisit this, but I can't help it. People can't understand why a guy like him would mistreat dogs (or allow their mistreatment). For whatever reason, parents have quit teaching their kids right from wrong. And I don't mean in a religious way. You don't have to believe in some god to know the difference.
Down the block aways, lives a group of kids - probably in their twenties like Vick - who beat their dogs. I've called Animal Control twice and I know one of my other neighbors has called as well. On more than one evening I've listened to the sickening thuds as one of the kids wailed on their dog.
Over in the other direction lives a family with kids who I consider practically feral. They will stand outside their neighbor's fence yelling and screaming at the poor dog inside. But, coming from a family who lets them jump up and down on there own car and wouldn't pick up trash in their yard if you paid them, I guess it's only to be expected.
And just thirty miles to the south of here, two teenagers were arrested and one of their dogs shot during a dogfighting investigation. The news also says, they weren't involved in organized dog fighting - as if that makes it better.
Why can't you parents teach your kids right from wrong? You stupid people deserve the world you're going to get.
