Dogs, politics, media, and more


And when the last scene of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is laid away in the cold ground,
no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws,
his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death. -- George Graham Vest

Dead dogs from Denver

WARNING!  The following links contain pictures of dead dogs, dogs that have died as a direct result of Denver’s ban on “pit bulls”.

Here is the note sent with the pictures.  I don’t want to name the source right now, although I doubt if they’d have a problem with it.  Just to be safe.

—– Start of Note —-

These are pictures of just one load of dogs that Denver has rounded up and killed as part of their breed ban. “Well,” you might say, “dogs are killed every day in shelters across the land.” Yes, they are and it is all awful. But these were dogs who had homes. These were owned dogs that got picked up and killed for what they look like, not for anything they did. Underneath this pile of dead dogs, but not shown, were something like twelve puppies that were not even weaned yet. The photographer wanted to show them, but didn’t have the heart to move the bodies of the adults around to show the puppies. Either way, this is how a breed ban manifests itself–in the rounding up and killing family dogs.

Here are the pictures.  Again, please heed my earlier warning before clicking on any of the links:
