- Only in the West! Dog is above man. So do you still think it is
- right to eat dogs? :-) :-) :-)
-
- Dog is said to be man's best friend (again, from the West). Would you
- eat your best friend? :-) :-) :-)

- Seriously though. There was a donkey in Seattle tortured to death
- several months ago. A big cry from the public wanted harsh punishment
- to the ones that committed the horrible act. The newspapers carried
- the story day in and day out. During the same period, a little girl
- was raped, throat slashed, and dumped into a dumpster. The girl
- survived and helped the police arresting the man who left her in the
- dumpster to die. But few people know about this story. Well, the
- story came out because the judge on the girl's case commented that the
- public pays more sympathy to animal than to human being. I look at it
- differently though. The story like that of the girl happened in the
- US too often that the news media didn't think it was news worthy. But
- the donkey thing was a sensational story and the public bought it.

- What was I trying to say? I don't know. See you guys later.
