kona, i've never been offended by you, i understand that everyone on here has a opinion and are passionate to some extent in their own beliefs.
my points are to always show a perspective.
i didn't freeze that rabbit it ice.
I do understand the amount cruelty involved in doing such a thing
I also understand that to some people pets are a necessity.
I have seen "pets for patients" programs that allow sick & injured to spend time with dogs and cats. Most patients would rather spend time with the animals than their own family.
there is something very soothing about the unconditional love and attention a pet can give a human, i won't deny that.
I've owned 2 cats in my life and lost one to sickness as a child, that was hard on me.
but, and this is the part that matters to me now.
the worst part of things like this is that it gets so many people up in arms for about 15 minutes until their blood pressure goes back down and the commercial ends so they can get back to their primetime sitcom
I personally hate that type of person. sincerely.
I guess it all goes back to the quote: "One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic"
I just wish people, especially in America, would care all the time not just when the bandwagon comes around to pick everyone up.
knowing people like that and knowing they, themselves, know they are like that is a far greater tragedy than the death of this rabbit.
it is my assumption this rabbit has gotten more attention dead than it ever did when it was alive.
