I.... err... agree with fox.

*snork* Does anyone really think he would've said that had it been a white player?

My cynicism says, "No".

No offense to anyone, but why do people reserve this outrage just for dogs? I'm pretty sure I've heard everyone here talk about eating meat.

Well I have no emotional relationship with dogs or cats having never owned any or have any intention of ever doing so. I think killing a human over killing a dog is completely crazy, to be honest. I mean, if I found a dead human I'd be deeply shocked and would call the guards straight away. If I found a dead dog I'd simply leave it were it is, or if it's out on the road I might get a shovel and toss it into a ditch. I'm sorry, but I don't see animals on any type of level that I see humans.

And a good thing that is too. Humans are much more horrid.

For starters they very deliberately put your life in danger to skip ahead one car space and get to the next red light two seconds faster.

*snork* Do you actually think that if we put a dog in a fast automobile which it could control like a Segway by leaning forward to move and to the side to turn and sent it out on a road that it would have any type of consideration for the cars which it will inevitably chase down now with the advantage of speed and weight behind it?

If found I dead dog I would phone the police and Report it and maybe even knock on a few doors nearby to ask people .

The dead human I stepped over on my way to work , I did steal his dog from his Junkie flat-mates and re-home it somewhere nice when I got home from work though .It was a good dog .

[Animavore]

I don't know how you could step over a dead human. Unless you could see it was already been dealt with by someone else. Then there's not much point in getting involved. And I find it difficult to understand why you would care enough about people that you would go around trying to find out who owned a dog to notify them one hand but would step over a dead one on the other without caring to notify police so the relatives could be told.

executed for dog fighting, ridiculous. People kill animals by the thousands everyday, what a moron. No one is surprised Trolly agrees with fox btw.

What were Carlson's comments really about? They were about Tucker Carlson getting himself some publicity by saying something outlandish in response to a very minor comment made by Obama about giving people second chances, that's what.

...and? or...so?

I would have to see and taste the meat up close before determining whether it was good or not, but as far as roasts go that one looks perfectly done, it has a lovely crust.

However, if Obama is seriously meaning that, I think he should let their family dog stay with Vick for a while.

So... nothing. It's a total non-story, something guys like Carlson exploit to get people talking about them. Does he really think Obama is supportive of dog-killers? Of course not, even Carlson's not that dumb. But the media and the blogosphere will wank over this for a couple days.

Is anything on fox NOT a non-story? What is wrong with supporting "dog killers" anyway? People support animal killers every day. More cruelty goes on behind the closed doors of factory farms than in all the dog fighting "rings" on the planet.

Apparently we've already been there before...the difference is that people have relationships with dogs and cats so it's more personal.

I don't disagree. I'm not even taking sides in the debate. I'm just pointing out that Tucker and his cohorts at Fox do a better-than-most job of intentionally getting people agitated, and they do it as a business strategy. And of course people play into it, discussing and debating the non-story until they're good and pissy about it, and then they can't wait to hear what ol' Tucker says next.

Anyway, I think I'll go get a cheeseburger.

One day, a little puppy or little kitten will sneak under your guard, and then we shall see...

I agree completely with Ani, and I currently have a pet cat and I've had a dog as a pet also. Our cat doesn't even have a name. We had two to begin with, and called them Cat 1 and Cat 2. One ran away to our old house a couple months after we moved here, and I'm not real sure if we still have Cat 1 or Cat 2.
