Pet talk

Falcons player Michael Vick has pleaded guilty for his role in dog fighting.  He was said to finance the “Bad Newz Kennel” that raised, trained and fought dogs for profit.  He also admitted to killing several dogs for non performance in the fights.  I hope they throw the book at him and that he looses everything associated with his NFL career.  Dog fighters are very hard to catch and prosecute.  Lets show the rest of them what will happen when we catch them.  Now lets go after the cock (chicken) fighters as well.  This activity was so common in California and I myself visited many breeding operations.  If more time and effort were spent on catching these people, the “sport”, (and I do not like using that word), would dry up and go away.  All I can say is that if you suspect this is going on near you report it to the police.

I had no idea that the foie gras thing was so big.  The city of Chicago banned it from being served in any of its many restaurants.  Anaheim Duck player Scott Niedermayer wrote city council members urging them to maintain the ban during a repeal effort.  I guess a Duck can have some compassion for its fellow ducks!  

After conducting tests on the Chicken Jerky  Strips and Chicken Jerky from China, Walmart now says the products contain melamine.  No wonder the pets were getting sick.  The melamine was just a preliminary find–I wonder what else is in those treats?
