Comparing dogs to drugs and alcohol?!
http://www.american-partisan.com/col.../qtr4/1204.htm
After observing thousands of teenagers lighting-up or chewing tobacco to inevitably face death by cancer, seeing hundreds of people injured or killed in auto accidents which are alcohol-related, reading about Hollywood's sick actors who depend on drugs, and watching millions and millions of lonely dog owners spend their "last dime" on their pets, I have become a more pro-active "human and children's activist." I am not taken in by smoking, drinking, glorifying drugs, or humanizing dogs.
Go into the kitchen, turn on the lights, and look at all the roaches: the tobacco companies using "do-gooder" marketing to push cigarettes upon teenagers; the liquor manufacturers now boldly advertising their wares on television; the drug dealers and their own creation, the dope fiends; and the pet industry in its unholy alliance with child-scorning misfit "pet parenting" dog owners.
Tobacco companies know that cigarette smoking and tobacco chewing cause bring on suffering and death. American teenagers spend millions of dollars on cigarettes and smokeless tobacco every year. Tobacco companies also know that kids like animals even though animals, vicious dogs in particular, are their worst enemy. Children loved looking at the Old Joe Camel logo. Tobacco companies choose camels and other child-oriented pictures to entice teenagers to “buy-in” to their way of thinking about the "cuddly-ness" of smoking. Smoking is not "cool."
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism recently reported that close to 1,000 people literally drank themselves to death during the past year. This number does not include alcohol-related auto accidents, or people who suffer from illnesses such as liver disease as a result of years of drinking.
How alcohol kills: the kid passed out and everybody laughed at him, unaware that he's on the way to dying. Why? He has consumed too much alcohol. Every day young adults die because alcohol gets into their blood and travels throughout their system ending up in the brain where it has the ability to slow down a person's breathing. Death by alcohol is actually death by suffocation. While all of the boys and girls are busy laughing at their friend who has “passed-out” from too much alcohol, it is the first sign of a serious danger to the young person. Drinking alcohol is not "cool."
Cocaine kills. When you hear about a young adult dying suddenly and the autopsy reports that he had a heart attack with multiple dead areas within the heart and dilated cardiomyopathy, think about cocaine. Cocaine is Hollywood's number one luxury drug.
Young women and men take cocaine because they believe that it improves their social life. Furthermore, cocaine is a potent stimulant that makes a person feel more alert. Unfortunately, unconsciousness can suddenly come on afterwards. And cocaine addiction creates a craving for the drug so powerful that feeling the need for cocaine takes over the need for nourishment. Drugs are not "cool."
Drug dealers are vicious criminals. It is no coincidence that they guard their stashes of cocaine with vicious dogs. Pit bulls, Rottweilers, and Dobermans are the "goons of choice" to guard illegal drug storehouses.
The Fifty-Billion-Dollars-a-Year Pet Industry distorts facts to support its self-serving money-making notion that "dogs are beneficial to one's health." Not true! Regrettably, many dog worshipers are extremely hostile to the truth about their animals. But the airing of an honest opinion is fundamental to America's good health. The Mega-Pet Industry has bamboozled dog owners with its fraudulent statement, “Pets provide companionship.” This statement is an outright lie.
Treating dogs as full-fledged family members backfires onto their human owners. Lonely women and lonely men are turning to their dogs as confidants. This is a corrupt message -- for they are actually saying, “I have made a pro-dog/anti-child decision.” Animal attachment has many warnings. The first one: treating your dog as a child who barks.
Dog owners have crossed “health boundaries" through their obsession with their dogs. Dogs are responsible for thousands of dog bites and dog maulings a year. Dog bites are the leading cause of visits to emergency rooms. Dogs carry and spread disease. In fact, so-called “therapy dogs” are today's number one carrier of diseases inside health facilities. These dogs carry roundworms, mites, and cryptosporidium protozoa in their fecal matter.
Look at the new phenomenon of "dog owner rage": lonely misfit dog owners becoming enraged in public parks and violently attacking police officers whenever they are instructed to leash their dogs. Dogs will never replace the timeless friendships between people. Americans are overweight and obese because of dogs. Humans need to exercise with other humans, not with dogs, and exchange ideas in discussions with their fellow man. Dogs actually destroy the lifestyles of their once active owners.
Dogs create health risks for children, especially for children with weak immune systems. Children and adults, too, with a tendency to develop allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema are always at risk from allergens carried by dogs. Dog-borne allergens (in dog dander) provoke and worsen asthma. Furthermore, dogs ruin once-quiet neighborhoods with their excessive 24/7 barking. And dogs pollute city streets with large urine spills and smelly-foul huge bowel movements which attract vermin. Owning a dog is not "cool."
Two reasons to restrict Tobacco, Alcohol, Drugs, and Dogs: (# 1) They are dangerous to our health and our children's health, and (# 2) They seriously harm our lifestyle as rational human beings. ***
