AMAZON IS HIDING THEIR GREED AND CRUELTY BEHIND "FREE SPEECH LAWS" ...SO HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS...CANCEL YOUR ACCOUNT AND ASK EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO BOYCOTT THEM....WHEN SALES DROP, SUDDENLY THEY WONT CARE ONE BIT ABOUT "FREE SPEECH" AND THEY WILL STOP CARRYING AND PROMOTING THE PRODUCTS THAT TORTURE ANIMALS.

NFL star Michael Vick has been indicted for his participation in a terrifying dog fighting underworld most of us knew nothing about. Associates have testified that Michael Vick bred dogs for fighting, forced them to fight, ran dog fights, bet on dog fights, and personally killed dogs who lost fights in gruesome ways. He kept the dogs on his property starved to make them meaner and more aggressive in fights.

It’s hard to even find words for this. Someone who can kill dogs in this way, someone who can enjoy and bet on their suffering and agony is one thing: a sociopath. There’s no other way about it. Nobody can have the ability to feel empathy and participate in this kind of blood fest.

The news showed footage of forensic crews combing Vick’s property looking for dead dogs. The living dogs were whisked away, though one presented his battered face on the header of the email from HSUS. The email asked for donations to provide care for the living dogs.

Warm Greetings my friends! This press release may have already passed over your desks and so I apologize. I've just now opened this new release today.
Love and light - have a blessed day!
