[b]darkeyes[/i], I made a mistake in my typing: I meant that pelicans eat fish, not pigeons.

Since animal fighting was brought up, I was upset again tonight to hear on the news, some puppies were stolen from a pet store, probably to be used to train dogs to fight. And a little dog was killed horribly by two pit bulls, and the poor little girl and her mother were crying, and my heart broke for them and their dog. I also felt bad for the two pit bulls, because their owner didn't do the responsible thing and keep them restrained, plus obviously didn't train them properly.

I feel so sickened by those who fight dogs, and the punishments are never severe enough on the rare occasions that they're caught. I want to do something (about many causes, along with this), but I feel overwhelmed by the sheer number of organizations, groups and all that, plus the limitations of laws, and the lack of laws. It's all about money!!! And it's the dogs used in fighting, both the pit bulls and the "bait" dogs, that pay the ultimate price. Dogs trained to fight can't be rehabilitated, so they're put to sleep when they're rescued, but at least they won't have to fight anymore.

We need more and harsher laws in regards to animal welfare.
