LaDonna, it's fascinating really to see how upset people get over animals being tortured vs humans. I guess it has to do with animals truly are innocent. Not that children aren't, because they are. Torture to any living creature turns my stomach. I am sickened by it all. LOL I wasn’t going to out you, Tawny!

And like, Tawny, the opionions posted are great. I've heard about the body farms, and really wish I'd been sitting with y'all during the talk. Your friend's reaction made me smile. Yep, I'd puke! Off topic, no not really, but I think what Vick did was horrible and he should be punished to the full extent. But what really irks me is that our society has really gone to the dogs! Pun intended. You get more organizations and crowds rallying when animals are killed, than when a cop is killed, or a child is molested. What in the hay is going on out there? Maybe we need to look at these animal organizations and take some lessons for humankind? I'm with Gary, bring the guillotine back! Karin, great blog! And like, Tawny, the opionions posted are great.

You're lucky I didn't get sick on your cute shoes once she was talking about maggots and boiling and all the rest!

But I begin with a question, because I think I know the answer - but I'm not sure, isn't a retrial or a new trial still dependent upon the standards of 1966? To me, while my heart goes out to the family off the officer who suffered and died, I still consider this a double jeopardy of sorts. He was convicted for the shootings. In today's courts we would see a different sort of proceedings in the differences: state trial and conviction for the shootings, then civil proceedings because the trial either failed to do the job or because the family was dissatisfied in the sentence. I maybe totally wrong about this, but in light of today's legal arena and 1966's I"m wondering. In the case of Michael Vick, a polical cartoonist in the Oregonian and Eugene Register Guard this morning showed a shackled Michael Vick being lead to a chainlink enclosure filled with what can only be described as a lot of very angry dogs. The caption reads, "It's only for a year." To me that would be just desserts. It angers me that the NFL can "suspend him without pay" for a crime which he has finally admitted "some' guilt. I too had a person tell me, just a few hours ago, "It's a sport, like cock fighting and bullfighting." Is it sexual harassment to tell your insane employee, "then if you think cock fighting is a sport, maybe you and Michael should go wag it infront of the dogs he's beating to death," is it?
