Does it seem sometimes americans are more up in arms about cruelty to animals than humans beings??

Yeah you are right....the value of human life is at a record low now days. Look at the shame of people who witness a 91 year old man being beaten in a parking lot and watch and do "nothing" or a woman laying in a store aisle bleeding from a knife wound, only to stop and take a picture with this woman on a cell phone, well others step over her and keeps on shopping. How disgraceful and pathetic some people in society have become. Great post!
