...a dog in some ways has more moral and ethical obligation to its young than ghettos mothers on crack...

Maybe because dogs are incapable of being evil.

Mad sometimes but never evil

Oh and why limit it to crack mothers.

I personally would include those who abort their innocent babes growing within.

I personally would include those who abort their innocent babes growing within.

And I would also include those who dump their kids at daycare so that they can while their time away on the tennis courts or at the Bridge table.

Agree, but since we are dealing with an animal that is tending to live birth...I left the abortion issue on the table. It still amazes me that this "mammal" made a decision, (imagine that) the animal DECIDED to be RESPONSIBLE and made the choice to care for its young.

I like animals and am quite fond of dogs, this story just reminded me that "motherhood" is instinct, and that we have in our society people who have forfeited their instinct for selfish pleasures.
