I admit, I have very mixed feelings about it. The experience itself is amazing and enlightening and sends me home feeling like I've made a difference in the world. The very idea that animals actually have feelings once completely re-routed a whole class from the curriculum as we took time out to demonstrate to the students the many ways their pets express their feelings even though they cannot speak. The program is powerful and makes an even greater impact because some of my fellow volunteers are reformed dog fighters themselves who really do want to stop others from following that path. On the other hand, despite this fantastic program, I feel the the US Humane Society has made a poor decision in choosing to use Vick as a spokesperson and I have yet to hear him truly express remorse and regret for what happened to the animals in his "care." I know where I stand on the Michael Vick issue. I know where I stand on the the End Dog Fighting Campaign. But how those two entities collide within the realm of the USHS still makes me uncomfortable.A Confessed Pit Bull Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777050986041332779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26809086046471535.post-13153740004658106752011-01-21T11:47:15.296-08:002011-01-21T11:47:15.296-08:00Very true, and very scary.
