Justice?

My daddy sent me this cautionary tail from the Washington Post, about a dog named Parrot who was gunned down in the street.

Police fatally shoot dog at Adams Morgan festival


On the one hand, Parrot certainly is a mean looking dog. And he did bite a poor poodle, maybe even a relative of mine. Just the same, you gotta wonder if the poodle wasn't asking for it. If I was approaching a dog like Parrot while out on my walk, I'd pull daddy to the other side of the street for sure. Why wasn't the poodle more careful?

But on the other hand, the cop seemed to be gunning for a canine (could of just as easily been me). Where's the justice? In this town, dogs aren't allowed to serve on juries. When has an all-human jury ever convicted a cop of violence against a member of the canine community, regardless of the evidence?

This is why I'm so big for canine rights. And that's why I'm supporting the Pee Party.

AND, SHOULD I, A HUMAN, SAY, IF A WOMAN IS RAPED IN THE STREETS,SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT?, (albeit she was dressed provactivily)i could go on and on..............i.e. SHE
SHOULD HAVE BEEN 'OFF' THE STREETS, BUT DOESN`T A HUMAN HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE WHEREEVER THAT MIGHT BE? AND WITHOUT AN ESCORT IF SHE SO CHOOSES? THINK ABOUT IT, TOMMLLE.

Tommy,

I have heard (though maybe I'm wrong)that the Pee Party are breedist. And, what's more, they are firmly against universal pet health care. But I can see why you would find the Pee Party so initially appealing.
