work against this kind of treatment of companion animals.
If you view these & read the articles and then tell people
that this is anything but a cruel & barbaric practice, then
I have nothing more to add. We live in different worlds of
thought on this subject.

"What I do find offensive is the casual killing of anything for profit and gluttony, rather than need." I appreciated the links, Liz - thank you!
Were economic santions against the products of the offending countries mentioned? We buy an incredible amount of our goods from countries that use cheap labor pools, and have no respect for human or any life form. It's something to consider when we shop.
Also, did you read Soledad's post in the thread for Veteran's Day, remembering our canine veterans? Our own military does not recognize dogs as more than property, as opposed to many other countries. I discussed this with a military security specialist at work the other day, and he said to his knowledge it still is true.
