“He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.” ―Immanuel Kant

*This is a long story which I will try to write about in the next few days. In short, I was bitten by a neighbor’s dog late last night. I stood up for how she was being treated (left out in the cold, barking well past 1:30 in the morning. I found out this morning that she was left out all night.), so it’s not about the bite, which is small, but about the behavior of her “owner”, and I use that term loosely. Here’s hoping Animal Control can talk some sense into him. Oh, wait. The cops showed up instead. Perhaps that’s better! I sure hope they can talk him into at least treating her like a beloved animal, especially with the drastic change in temperature coming overnight.* 😦
