Are the dogs fighting each other and bleeding to death? Are there puncture marks covering their bodies?
I think you can see where there is a very blatant distinction between the treatment of the animals at a shelter and Michael Vick (btw, MV if you're reading this, I'm going to kick your ass if I ever see you).
This is not to say that shelters are filled with warm hugs and daisies, and that is a problem that needs fixing. I wish I had the time and energy to fix everything but I don't. A bleeding heart liberal has to prioritize, and right now it's Iraq and the upcoming cold war between the US and China/Russia.
