Popsquire

According to Chinese astrology, people born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people’s confidence. 

Clearly, this was not the Year of the Dog.  Unfortunately, pop culture and law collided right on top of man’s best friend in 2007.  I give you two prime examples:

1. Michael Vic…On December 10, he was sentenced to 23 months in prison for running a cruel and inhumane dog fighting ring and lying about it.  The Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years.
2. Pets of Bel Air…This celebrity pet store, which recently was accused of re-selling dogs from puppy mills, now has been sued in a class action lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court.  Just like Popsquire predicted in this post, the lawsuit alleges claims for fraud and unfair business practices.  Click here to see the lawsuit.  And, click aqui for the video that exposed the pet’s store’s practices.

Popsquire urges everyone to treat animals nicely, especially dogs.  Please.
