"Pitbulls and Parolees" on Animal Planet
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 03:43 AM by ConsAreLiars
Just found and watched this program. Whether you are of the mindset that regards both human and animal outcasts with compassion or with fear, watch this series if you can. The current episode might be #1, or later, but the founder of the largest pitbull rescue operation (200+) ,a parolee himself, is locked up facing a 3-strikes life sentence after being charged by the DA, bounced from one judge to another, while his wife runs things alone.

The main site with a few clips: http://animal.discovery.com/tv/pitbulls-and-parolees/

The schedule: http://animal.discovery.com/tv-schedules/series.html?paid=15.15325.127367.37547.1

Watch it if you can. It says a lot about sentient beings like us and pitbulls and even judges, and you very well might find your compassion/life-loving batteries getting a long needed recharge.

(edit to add missing link and another word)

1. Absolutely wonderful program for both dog and man.
I have to admit, I cried a lot thinking about men/women and animals in all these cages all over our country.

3. Thanks for the kick.
Although I'm a bit puzzled how you (oops, delete that prohibited but obvious characterization and a few more) "people" are still allowed to post on DU. Apparently the Zell Miller/Lieberman/McCain/Cheney/Monkey/kill-em-all/war-forever contingent is sadly still a part of the "big tent" at DU.

Sick and depraved and stupid. You earned high points on all scorecards.

7. I don't want sicko haters like you who characterize every parolee as you did
Edited on Sat Nov-07-09 05:57 AM by ConsAreLiars
and want every dog called a pitbull treated the same way any where near my tent. You hatemongers and fear-driven kill-em-all psychopaths are as about as useful as a shrink-wrapped smallpox infected blanket hand delivered by Max Baucaus. If you ever have anything vaguely progressive to say, send me a PM. I doubt that tasking will cause you any extra effort.

8. maybe you need to reread the post i was replying to
then you will see i wasnt talking about parolees but the posters lament about people in cages ie jail/prison, but then again if you ever have anything apolegetic to say, send me a PM etc etc etc...

9. More (adjective-prohibited)
nonsense. Most, of those with some exceptions in prison are no less human than those outside. But this was about parolees, approved for release by parole boards lefties would generally regard as "conservative" at best and you apparently see as pro-crime advocates.

Many more far more evil and powerful are outside and immune to prosecution and living the high life. Over a hundred death row inmates were freed before being murdered because they were innocent despite the DA's lies and cases.

Kids are locked up because the judge got paid a bounty. A country with more jailed and executed for whatever reason has the worst murder rate. The system you are a part of and paid to support is depraved, sick, dysfunctional.

It, and your ditto-head endorsement of that BS is a symptom of a deep-rooted disease, not a cure.
