Wonder if he'll talk about the dogs he helped hang and electrocute to death. Sorry, but I think someone who kills dogs like he did can't just change. That kind of lack of compassion and cruelty is just too cold blooded. Looks like BET will have a new reality show based around Michael Vick. Shame on BET.

In fact, both books glorify small farms (though Foer is more selective), and both have the support of people who create and kill animals. And when Foer writes that he approves of farms that treat their animals the way we treat pet dogs, that's his real message.

Fighting to maintain the integrity of the words humane, love, euthanasia or compassion, is also fighting for animals. But I have to think about which words I focus on, and whether they're going to help me in my quest to get more people to stop killing nonhuman animals/having them killed when they don't need to.

Dogs are able to detect diseases such as cancer and diabetes and warn humans of impending heart attacks and strokes. Many animals also display wide-ranging emotions, including joy, happiness, empathy, compassion, grief, and even resentment and embarrassment. I also watched a red fox bury her mate after a cougar had killed him.

There's no "compassion" in the process. And regardless of how you treat someone when they're live and regardless of how you kill them, if you don't need to kill them and you're doing so merely to please your palate, how do you justify what you're doing? I wouldn't do it to a dog, and I shouldn't do it to a chicken/sheep/cow/pig.
