I do think people should be treated as if their pets were humans. All pets show is love and affection and need the same in return. When I see someone on the street hitting or beating a animal I have to same something to that person. The pets cannot fight back like humans can. My comment to the prson mistreating their pet is, come over here and try that to me. I can hit back. Then, I can see the same fear in their eyes as I do in the poor animal. It makes me sick to my stomach to hear about the dog fighting, abuse and torture of defenseless animals. They should put these human abusers in a cage with a wild hungry animals and let them get a laste of their own medicine. Max security Jail for a few days might be the perfect place to show them how abuse feels.

To even ask the question is ridiculous, animals are just that, animals. They are not family members they are property. It amazes me how some of us treat these animals better that our own children.
