Anyone live in Iowa?

[Grace]

There is a Congressman from Iowa, Steve King, who approves of dogfighting.

What an absolute creep he is. Sure hope he gets booted from office in November.

Yes, I live in IOWA. I have never heard of this guy or his thoughts on humans fighting & dogs fighting issue. But I have seen people leave their children in a hot car while they took their dog into the veterinaries office in Minnesota.

He represents Iowa's 5th Congressional District, located in the western part of the state and includes Sioux City and Council Bluffs.

And my mother left us in a station wagon unattended while she went grocery shopping.

And I used to leave Lady in the truck while I went in shopping on hot days.

None of this, however, has anything to do with dogfighting.

What others may not know from this is you leave windows down for plenty of ventilation for Lady, AND she will guard that truck with a very ferocious-sounding bark, and being a largish black dog, no one ever attempted to steal her with any success!

Yes it does have everything to do with dog fighting. Mr. King is barking up the wrong tree. He doesn't see the real issue it is how humans are treating humans & that comes first. If humans treat humans with respect there will be respect for animals even dogs.

Dogs have been used in the military for combat etc. I wonder what he thinks about that?

It is like another senator out East who had issues about farmers & farming his cure was you can find all your food in the grocery store you don't need to depend on farmers. I wonder where he was educated surely not in the corn & bean belt.

Mr. King appears to regard humans the same as he does dogs - not worth the time of day. He feels states have the right to ban contraception; he voted to restrict the Violence Against Women Act; consistently votes against acts requiring equal pay for equal work.

You know how they say if someone is an animal abuser, the next thing you know that person will be abusing children/people? Seems to me that Mr. King is an equal abuser of everyone.

I can't believe that this moron is actually an "elected" official.

I was reading some of the comments people had posted on this article, and it made reference to southern states and those below the Mason-Dixon Line - and implied that those people had the mentality to condone dog fighting. How incredibly unfair to try to label people that way because of their geographic location. And yes - I live about 3 miles south of the Mason-Dixon Line..............

Your right on there Grace.

What an absolute moron.

This guy is an idiot. I had never seen this article until I saw it on Facebook, but I'm not surprised. For some reason people keep putting him back in office - I just don't understand it.
