I agree totally. Dogs are better than many people!

"Quite Frankly",.... That type of opinion just goes to show why pets are better company than some people.

Now, here's the next question. How is it abuse of the animal? There was no pain for the dogs in question...only sex. Dogs initiate sex with people all the time through the humping of legs, so it is obvious that they not only want sex, but they think that sex with humans is not a bad thing at all. Only when disciplined by us do they not do it. So there's obviously no higher moral awareness on the part of the dog, only the pursuit of pleasure. With that in mind, I would think that the dogs in question probably thought they were living the good life.

However, humans enjoy a much higher moral and ethical construct. Sex with animals is immoral and rightfully so. That is the only standard to be applied here.

I didn't say that I prefer the company of dogs to that of people. Although I would rather be around my dog than quite a few people. I have to ask you why would that mean that I am almost as bad as someone that is as sick, sick, sick as this woman.

Why? Because I value people more than I value dogs? I like my dog. But if I had to choose between saving the life of my dog or saving the life of the most contemptible wretch on the planet, the person wins out every time.

Sorry but the most contemptible wretch is on his/her own. My dog would definitely come first.

Oh, good. We have a live one here.

Now choose between your dog and somebody with a month to live. Whom do you save?

Aberrant behavior can lead to an animal being destroyed. If that same animal were to exhibit the same task which it was taught on a differant human, it, in most cases would be destroyed. In the event the animal were removed from the owner it could be considered as "unplacable" in a new environment.
To answer your question, "why?" reread your statement. Just because I prefer the company of my pet to SOME people, that does not indicate I or anyone else is "almost as bad as the woman" in the article.

Is this person a good witch or a bad witch?
