I have tried my hardest not to be drawn into this discussion so I don’t have to give a certain football player (the American version) extra attention by discussing this topic here on our blog. Unfortunately for days now the biggest pet topic out there is that HSUS says that this certain football player should be allowed to own a pet.
Wait. What? Have they gone completely nuts! That not a question that is a statement. There is no question as to whether this football player went to jail over something he did to animals and that what he did was not an accident or an isolated incident that was misconstrued. He willfully, knowingly, and with intention abused countless dogs we know about and many more that were killed by his very hands over the course of time we will never know about.
What does this Monster mean when he says he misses having pets in his life and would like to be able to own one again someday? All he did was torture the animals in his care and force them to torture each other. Is it that he misses having an innocent creature to take his frustrations out on and torture when he has a bad day.
I think that there is something I am really missing here because I just don’t see how the HSUS could come out publicly and say the Monster who happens to be allowed to play football should be allowed to own a cockroach let alone a cat or dog. If he can be allowed to own a pet then honestly the torture inflicted by Puppy Millers will probably be overlooked as well and those that have been shut down and the owners convicted of animal abuse will probably be endorsed by HSUS as well and will be back up and running as soon as they can get a loan from a bank.
I thought the HSUS was supposed to save Pets from the likes of this Monster so how can they endorse him every step of the way since his release from jail?
(In your responses please do not use his name so that he does not get anymore attention)
I am digusted with the HSUS for even suggesting this excuse for a man be allowed to have a pet. This mans crimes have horrified me here in the UK so I am horrified by this from the HSUS. Good for you for highlighting this , I am off now to sign Bunnys petition
Mom says bad words when this piece of crap is mentioned
Anyway….Benny & Lily
My mom says that there's bad people out there who don't know how to treat children, dogs, or other living things with respect. Maybe that's why my doctor says that I'm lucky to have the Mom that I have. At least that bad guy has a way of taking his hostilities out on somebody else and not dogs. He's got an evil streak and shouldn't be able to have anything that offers unconditional love.

fank u fur discussing dis issue – i know u don't want to mention him by name, and i appreciates why. i am appalled dat HSUS is supporting him. plus TIME magazine has named him as one of da top 10 comebacks of 2010! i haf posted a link on mai blog to a petition on Change.org – i hope u will sign it. fanks!
i think its irresponsible for the HSUS to allow this.. He had the right to own a pet, he lost it when he hurt then and was convicted. nobody with an animal cruelty charge should be able to be a pet owner.
You dont see how they could say that? I don't think they say anything truthful much let alone truely care about animals.

A major CDN paper wrote an article how everyone deserves a second chance.. guess I wont be reading that paper anymore.
Well publicity is what they want. I can't believe this. I just think of how some people even gave up on some dogs that were abused only to have a great person work with them and even used as therapy. That should be the focus of comeback. I feel for a breed being pictured the way the actual abuser should be.
No he shouldn't and Yes they're nuts.
Sometimes I wonder, if you give enough money to the people who are suppose to protect animals, do they turn their attention more on how much money instead of how many animals they can help? Meaning, if this person gave enough money, do they turn the other cheek? I wonder….and, if he could something that terrible to an animal, I would hate to think what he would do to a child and he dosen't need permission to have a child, on another note, I love football, I play three football pools a week, I will watch any game that's on tv but if this certain person is playing, I'll change the channel….it's just too soon to forgive and I'll never forget.

HSUS is providing much needed cover to him so he can rehabilitate his image. The argument that he is rehabilitated, speaking to kids, blah, blah, blah means nothing. He systematically tortured, electrocuted, drowned, and beat dogs. Many times. Pedophiles can't adopt kids, felons can't buy dogs, and dog abusers shouldn't have dogs.
absolutely not
I agree with you a hundred zillion percent!!!
I like what “Robert” above me said….”Pedophiles can't adopt kids, felons can't buy dogs and dog abusers shouldn't have dogs”
He shouldn't be allowed any pets let alone play in the NFL. Disgusting.
Ugh, I agree. I don't understand what is wrong with HSUS on this one.
Well said, Robert.
