Now people are taking their pets to church with them: Worship service for all members of the family – four-legged ones too – http://tinyurl.com/ydmzaxh

During the floods in southern California last week, the LA Fire Department was applauded for dispatching a helicopter for a daring rescue of a dog that was stranded–not actually in the water, like it was fighting for it’s life, but just stranded on the edge of a canal. They lowered a firefighter and he rescued the dog, but not before being dog bitten several times.

Were they justified in risking the lives of the firefighters and the helicopter crew by dispatching the helicopter in bad weather? How many thousands of dollars were spent for the rescue, and the medical bills for the dog bites? Was there no better way to spend those tax dollars, or no better things for the firefighters to be doing during a crisis?

Sorry, but I just don’t get it.

There’s really nothing wrong about taking care of our pets just as long as we treat others as how we treat our friend. If a cat was given H1N! shot, then give it to humans as well.

While reading the post I was hoping you were going to reach the main point. I agree completely with your last sentence. The outrage is not that we are concerned with the torture of dogs and pigs. The outrage is that some are only concerned with the dogs and pigs while condoning the killing of human babies. It defies logic.

As for “loving” dogs. Perhaps it’s the wording that some don’t like. I don’t really know or care what it is…love, attachment, etc. All I know is that my dogs are a very fun and enjoyable part of my life. I don’t need to compare the feelings for them vs. my kids. There of course is no comparison. My feelings for one are in no way affected by my feelings for the other.
Dogs are way cool to know and have around. I have several of them sleeping at my feet right now. They have a way of keeping this type A personality somewhat grounded :)
