Two Murders, Rape Get Less Ink than Stupid Dog Killing
In today's Washington Post, you'll find this article covering the killing of a pit bull, which was off leash in Dupont Circle. An officer shot it, claiming that the dog charged him. Boo hoo. Like, there's a leash law in DC. It isn't the coutryside. And pit bulls kill people, so I don't know how unreasonable it is to shoot at them when they're off leash and charging you. The article has 267 words.
On the next page, you'll find an article about two killings of people, you know, humans (Page B4, 2 Separate Homicides Investigated, 186 words). And an article about a sexual assault (Page B4, Woman Sexually Assaulted, 71 words). The dog article gets more ink than both articles concerning crimes against humans, combined. |

The problem is, it's not a dog, it's a "canine American."
Pacelle pledged his ongoing commitment to legislation and lobbying as key paths for the animal rights movement to move its agenda forward. He urged the audience to continue pursuing animal guardianship laws to replace animal ownership laws. Pacelle suggested using the term ''Canine Americans'' instead of dogs to emphasize the rights of these animals.
