Do I think it's a wise decision? No... I would never do it. But there is lots of things I wouldn't do with my dog that others still find completely acceptable. I am not sure it classifies him as an animal abuser. The dog was probably safer in a crate on top of the car than being loose inside the car during an accident, just sayin' (which is probably how 90% of American's dogs ride in the car). Again, I still do not think it's right. But I think this is going to be one of those things made into a huge deal from many many years ago and I am sure his family dogs have not rode on the rooftops since. |
The reason I think it's a big deal whether it was done in 1983 or now is because of his actions in years following. To me it was just a glimpse of who this man really is. If this was just one incident over the many years, it may not be that big of a deal.....lessoned learned, don't do it again. But since his actions over the following years have been equally questionable, it's a huge red flag and would that we should take heed too. By ignoring or excusing the overall personal behavior of many who run for political offices is the reason why America is in such rapid decline and turning into a nation of psychopaths and narcissists.
