Animal Cruelty

I read an article titled "Woman jailed after pet was placed on phone book that was set ablaze." This article was about a dog that got lit on fire by its owner. The owner loved her dog and they don't know why she light her dog on fire. After the owner lit the dog on fire a neighbor heard the yelps of the dog and called the police. When the police got to the apartment they found the dog still on the burning phone book and rushed to help the animal. The dog was in critical condition and was sent to an animal hospital in Wheat Ridge. I think this is a sad story and I find it disgusting to hear about animal cruelty. Animals are living things and should be treated with respect. They should not be abused and if someone is going to abuse them then they should not be responsible for that pet. I think they should make even more strict laws that punish animal abusers. I don't like hearing about sad stories like this because I love pets and it is sad that they are mistreated like this. I would never mistreat my pet because I like him very much. I Hope people see how wrong animal cruelty is and maybe some day people will love their animals and stop mistreating them.

The Fight for Office

In an article titled McCain: Palin will do 'fine' in VP debate I read about how John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin would face Barak Obama's running mate Joe Biden in a debate. The debate was only for the running mates Sarah Palin and Joe Biden. In this debate both people had to talk about what they wanted for the future and current issues. "The fact is she'll do fine. She has experience, talent, leadership. She has great inner strength. She has...an ability to lead that's been proven, taken on her own party," said John McCain before the debate. The article also talked about how John McCain's campaign is starting to leave Michigan and move toward other states like Pennsylvania and Maine so they can hopefully win those states in the election. I am glad that they had a debate tonight to talk about issues because it is good for the people to know what problems we have and how we can work together to solve these problems. The people should know whats going on and get involved with their government to make this country a better place. I don't know who I want to be as the next president because I don't know enough about either one of them to have an opinion but if I were voting today my vote would be based on the question how? How will the next president improve this country? How will he follow through with his promises to the people about certain issues? How will our next president lead this country? These are the kind of questions I would be asking if I were going to vote. Our next president is going to have a hard job leading this country so shouldn't we vote for the candidate who will be the best at the job? These are the kind of things we need to think about when we vote and I hope that this country makes the right decision for our next president.
