Animals and People

Ok so in the light of Mike Vick's reinstatement in the NFL, I figured I'd address the animal and people bit. (See I'm not that random) First let me say, I'm all for not abusing animals. It's stupid, pointless, ect. That being said, I wonder about these animal rights activists. I get it, but I don't get it. How can you be so passionate about animals, and not so about people? You are a PERSON! People don't even know how to treat each other, so how would they know how to treat animals? How is it that the penalty for killing and abusing animals is more severe than that of killing and abusing people?! Does that make any sense? I don't think so.

On another note about animals and people...why are there so many stories about these people getting bit and ate up by wild animals? John Doe went into the mountains and a bear bit him, so now they gotta hunt down the bear and kill him. The bear was being a bear! If the bear was hungry, and John Doe was there, the bear is not gonna think, I can't eat Mr. Doe, because he's a person. The bear is gonna think, I'm hungry and there is meat. Now Mr. Doe all upset because he tried to become "one with nature," and the bear didn't get the memo. Mr. Doe, stop going places where you do not belong. You are being a volunteer statistic. Let's break that cycle of stupidity.
