Bravo to the NFL for suspending the ‘reprehensible’ Michael Vick indefinitely. Some things are just inexcusable and we don’t need to send the message that these things are okay by looking the other way just because of someone’s celebrity.

I have to tell you that I’m completely appalled lately by all of the pet abuse stories that are on the news almost every day. From Michael Vick and the dog fighting charges, to some local Dallas stories where a dog named Mercy was doused with gasoline and burned to death, or another dog was thrown from a second story window and ended up in a dumpster. There are too many other stories not unlike like the guy who hoarded animals and had several dead cats in his refrigerator.
Sadly, I realize this isn’t something new or too far from the norm, it’s just these few cases have actually made it into the news. I just can’t begin to understand what could lead to such atrocities. We’ve been given an awesome responsibility to help take care of these animals and I invite you to join me in supporting the ASPCA. If you don’t have time to get involved in any other way, take a few minutes and make a donation of some sort to help care for these abused and neglected animals. It might cut into your Starbucks budget a bit, but the rewards are truly worth it. Take a minute and make a difference today.
