WashingtonPost.com: Animal Cruelty Isn't Judged on a Level Playing Field
Philly.com: We're all Michael Vick
Of course, Courtland Milloy treads water, briefly touching on this conflict, teetering on an epiphany, but ultimately preferring to ponder why Michael Vick is being hit so hard with these charges, which seems kind of backward to me, especially given public sentiment. At least we can count on Gary Francione to expose the connection between cruelty to dogs and cruelty to animals typically considered food (which, lest we forget, includes dogs in certain other countries, as well as horses and so on, further highlighting the arbitrary absurdity).
Two opinions in major city papers drawing attention to this connection in one day. That's what I call a nice day.
