...because what this one is accused of doing is beyond comprehension. If convicted, I hope the judge(s) throw the book at Vick.
NFL star indicted over dog fighting.
I say anyone convicted of dog fighting should be treated like the dogs they killed.

If you think it's just "pit bulls"....WAKE UP.
Dublin, Ireland is banning 11 breeds in its council housing (equivalent to subsidized housing), regardless of the dog's behaviour and regardless of whether the owner is responsible. Either rehome your dog, or kill it.
Read about it here.
Hat tip to Caveat for the article.

Blogger's Note: The CGN is a blast to do, it's great fun. I took a foster dog through it....she was passing with flying colours until the stay/come. She stayed...I called her....she came running to me...and PAST me....right to the gate that would let her out of the test area! OK, we flunked...but the audience loved us! *LOL*

Weekly roundup, ramble and venom
Another good weekly roundup at KC Dog Blog...scroll down the page for a picture of the loveliest dog, killed by Kansas City Animal Control solely because of the way it looked.
KC Dog Blog is asking where the ACLU is on this issue...same place as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Which is nowhere. I approached the CCLA several times when the Ontario Lie-berals first issued Bill 132, and they were about as useful as a teat on a log. They chose not to see the obvious constitutional issues and had nothing to say about law-abiding dog owners being legislated into second-class citizenship. I have no respect for and a very low opinion of both organizations. Bite me, CCLA...and I have another interpretation of that acronym.
I see MPPs, mostly female MPPs, are fleeing the Legislature, read about it here and here. They're a bit slow...all women should flee the province until McGuinty and his minions are out of power - October, 2007. When the Premier of the province wants to entrench religious laws in provincial legislation, laws that work against women, it's time to boogie on out. Obviously McGuinty skipped the class on the separation of church and state as a fundamental tenet of democracy.
So, is Mikey Bryant going to crush the BMW of the 61-year old driver who sped on the shoulder, managed to topple a gravel truck and tie up the 427 for hours? Read about it here. Where's Mikey now? Sudden case of laryngitis?
Hat tip to Caveat...cast your vote on whether McSquinty is doing a good job as premier.
Give me a while to think and I'll offend some other people. Or give me some ideas.
