Animals and death, part 3

Concluding a trilogy of postings on animals and death, there's Michael Vick. The dogfighting operation that Vick and three co-defendants are accused of running was named "Bad Newz Kennels," according to a federal grand jury indictment. The dogs were housed, trained and fought at a Surry County, Va., property owned by Vick.

Part 1 of my trilogy on animals and death focused on animal who offers comfort to humans when they are about to die. Part 2 on an animal dedicated to saving human lives from the 9/11 and Katrina tragedies.

And finally, part 3: Humans purposely hurting and disposing of animals in horrific ways, for their own pleasure.

May there be greater awareness of this tragedy for the sake of some people reconsidering their behavior and society having less tolerance of such treatment of any being.
