“We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.”

~ Immanual Kant

 

I’m not a cat and dog kinda guy, I’d rather have birds and a tank full of fish.  My first and last dog was Baby, a golden brown Cockerspaniel.  She would run away into the city of Midland, across the railroad tracks from our “Big House” on Main Street.  My step-dad would find her, but one time he couldn’t and she was gone forever. 

You can tell alot about a community by how they treat animals.  I’ll never understand why people fight roosters or horses or pitt bulls.  I had a great professor who showed me how to respect all life.  If she’d find a bug in the classroom, she scooped it up and set it free outside.   She had turtles and ducks in her back yard.  In her home snakes, birds you name it.
