CAMPONTHIS: Steve Camp asks the question: Murder of dogs sparks more outrage than the murder of human beings. What does that say about our culture?
A great piece by Steve Camp. When you look at NFL players like Jamal Lewis (cocaine dealing), Randy McMichael (spousal battery), Ray Lewis (escaped a murder rap) they have all gotten back on the field. Jamal Lewis got sentenced so that he wouldn't miss any playing time. But Michael Vick gets accused of being involved in dog fighting and he gets crucified in the press. A recent poll in Atlanta had 66% of people stating that if these allegations are true, Vick should never play again. That may be fair, but why should the penalty for dog fighting be more severe than the other crimes above. Mistreating dogs is worse than mistreating your wife? We permit the murder of millions of unborn, innocent children and advocates for life are routinely portrayed as extremists, religious zealots. Animal "rights" nuts like those from PETA get treated like prophets. What sort of world do we live in?
