We Took Fluffy to a Farm Where He Could Run Free...

They say there are about 50 dogs that may have to be put down as a result of the single celled pond life I'm calling Amoeba-vick enterprize.

I don't believe these dogs can be rehabilitated to the point they could ever be trusted in the general population. I do believe they deserve to be taken to the 'farm'.

Amoeba-vick, as part of his debt to society should have to buy each of his victims a half acre of land, cozy housing, good feed and a caretaker. These poor dogs fell victim to the blood lust and financial greed of the lowest form of life. These dogs need to be cared for in a humane way for the rest of their natural lives. Amoeba-vick has the financial resources to make this restitution and he should be made to do so.

Each dog should be able to chase a ball or a rabbit. Each needs to know the simple "dog joy" of napping on the grass in the shade of an oak tree with a full tummy. Each should be free to dream of chasing rabbits, free to put the nightmares they have lived and witnessed behind them.

For those saying these dogs are too dangerous to live, I say we keep lions and tigers and bears in zoos in circumstances deemed to be some humane. These dogs are no more dangerous than the polar bears living in captivity, and would certainly be easier to care for and contain than a lion.

Putting these dogs to death is the same as saying any life once sullied by crime, or circumstance is no longer a viable life.

We know what D O G is spelled backwards...that didn't happen by accident. Dog truly is man's best friend. A dog treated humanly only wants to be part of the team. He gives unconditional love when treated humanely. He will sacrifice his life for his teammates if he feels the need. He will starve to death right along with his crew if that's what life's circumstances present.

I'm haven't lost sight of the fact that there are people in this world being tortured and murdered everyday. My heart bleeds for the condition of this world. In many ways that same condition has lead to people behaving far worse than wild animals. But, this is one single incicent where we know who had commited the crime, where there is the money to make some restitution to the victims rather than executing the victim.

I believe if these dogs are allowed to be euthanized then we as a society have given up our collective humanity.
