Like every dog they are vulnerable to homelessness and mistreatment. Michael Vick, whose unearthed gambling operation was found to not only force dogs to fight, but also kill under-performing dogs in twisted ways, is only one story in a mass of untold stories. As a breed, pit bulls have a bad rap.

Violet Rays is not a kid dog. So when we adopted a human baby we knew we'd have to teach that human to avoid Violet. The growing little human in the house was basically taught to stay far away from dogs and respect their space. We weren't planning to adopt another. And he's child friendly. We want to see the tiger!"

But I frankly never thought of not helping individual cats and dogs (through adoption) as an option for me.

An Animal Person reader wrote me with the following question: There are many species of cichlids in Lake Victoria that are on the verge of extinction, and most are hardy and small enough to be kept in an aquarium. Is keeping animals because they're endangered any different from keeping them because they are homeless? .
