Mugsy,

very often when I read about things that the so called superior species do I get so angry and think that there is no hope whatsover for our race. Then though I see people like you, Mike and the other people here on the board and my faith in our race is restored.

I think though that people like the ones you described have no place on this earth they are just a waste of space and they take up good air. I know it's not very charitable but I can't help it. More and more in recent years I found myself getting away from people who do not love animals. I hope I never have to witness someone abusing an animal or I know I could get extremely violent and probably I'll end up in prison myself.

My heart goes out to Smokey, I'm pleased he's in your hands he so much deserves to be loved.
