I wanted to find a word that could accurately describe the kind of shameless cynicism that goes into such marketing, but was worried it’d break the thesaurus. The idea that there are commercial breeding operations creating “shelter dogs” as a product to be sold to well-meaning prospective pet owners is so repugnant the first reaction isn’t horror — it’s often disbelief, even anger toward the messenger. In fact, this is a subject we are very careful about bringing up, because it is so hard for a decent person to wrap their head around. “Nobody could do something that despicable! How could you say such a horrible thing?”

I got a chuckle…

“… when I saw a letter from the Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), criticizing Dave Henderson’s column regarding Pacelle’s recent comments that Michael Vick would be a good dog owner today. Is it possible a $50,000 donation from the Philadelphia Eagles may have changed Pacelle’s mind?”

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals – Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there—many of them move on to their fellow humans.
