Cause there are plenty of dogs that are more intelligent than humans.
While I do not treat my Basset Hounds better than myself, they are definitely like my children, and I love them as such, and give them a great life. I do not feel this is wrong in any way, nor should I apologize for it.
Well those are valid issues, however if you look at the title of this thread, this thread is about how Vick treated his dogs. As such, you should expect to hear about animal cruelty and people for or against it. This is not a post about homelessness...feel free to start a thread in the parking lot to discuss these issues and I'm sure many of us here will be right there to discuss it with you.
While I do not do this, I do not get upset at people who do. It's their money and can use it in any manner they wish. Not that I am judging, but if they spent $700 on a dog, well, that's better than going to Vegas and giving it away on the black jack table. Not that I'm against gambling either...hell I love roulette.
As I am sure they would love to ship you somewhere where you're not allowed to speak your mind, but oddly enough, we live in America and people are free here.
Start a thread on what they did. I'd like to hear it, cause as far as my limited knowledge goes on the black panthers, they were not a great group of people. Maybe you could teach us a thing or two.
the word "ain't", is actually a legitamate english word. It's now in dictionaries.

sorry bro, i lost you after your "but what makes the life of a dog any less important than a human?" are you serious?? LMFAO...i don't know..... maybe common sense. and i love my dog as much as my kid, and if someone had a gun to my kid's and dog's head and said pick....guess what, i'm buying a new dog. i've lived in three different continents in my short life(trying to make it 4 by next year) so trust me, i've been to the places of the world your talking about and even though people might not be as free there or might not have the same access to education as we do here.....they do know there is a difference between dogs and humans, one life does mean more than the other buddy, i.e you eat meat? if not you eat veggies right? they both are living things right? so how can you say dogs are in the same level as humans when we kill cows for meat and plants for veggies?!?! and "ain't" made the dictionaries? you see you learn something new everyday bro
and i'm not about to tell you how wrong you are about the black panthers.....if you really care (which i don't think you do) you can google them
its all love though....at least your a skins fan!!
