I couldn't watch it past the Mastiff seizing and later being shot. All I can say is I would go to jail for what I'd do to those involved. I really hate people and what our world has become. My husband pleads with me not to watch things like this and part of me don't want to but the other part realizes that if we burry our heads then for real nothing will get done to help the next victim. I just watched a video last night about training methods going on in the Bolivia Army. It was horrendous. They have training where they take dogs and tie their limbs then repeatedly stab them and you can hear the poor things screaming. The claim is our US military has taught the training tactics to them. If that's true then it makes me ashamed to be a US Citizen. It was absolutely heartbreaking. I've always been involved in rescue but I'm finding myself becoming more and more of an activist with animal rights. I'm really sickened by things I read and watch. My boys are 13 and 15 and I've said it for years but when they are on their own I have evey intention of moving to one of these big puppymill states and buying a small farm house where I can really become active in rescue. It's been a life long dream of mine. I just feel I have to do more. That we all have to do more. The problem is too much money is exchanging hands and that goes for our government too. All the money made on these pups in petstores, if the government shuts the mills down and restricts the sale of dogs in pet shops think about all the tax dollars they will lose. So if you wonder why more isn't being done to help these dogs it all starts with our government and the almighty dollar. Elaine |
