Some animal-rights activists give the rest of us a bad name.
Rolo, a German Shepherd who spends most days terrorizing his suburban Denver neighborhood, recently attacked a woman who was outside walking with her baby. After carefully considering the evidence and listening to many neighbors who reported the dog aggressive and feared for their safety, Arvada Municipal Judge George W. Boyle ordered the dog euthanized.
That's when fools lost their minds.

DISCLOSURE: I like animals. In fact, I like them so much, I don't eat or wear them. I also don't like to touch or kiss them. But that's another post entirely.
Laura Hagan, dog owner from Loo-Loo Land, is a disgrace. Of the highest order.
Hagan shouted, "Oh no. It's my baby, it's my child."
Rolo is not a child. Rolo is not a baby. Rolo is not a human being.
Rolo is a dog.
According to Hagan, Rolo attacked Kathy Hardin "only because she was screaming loudly" as Rolo charged Hardin's baby.
What mother wouldn't scream at such a sight?
Instead of remembering that we are made in God's image, not Fido's, and taking painful but necessary measures to make sure no one is ever harmed again - Laura Hagan is blaming the victim.
Meanwhile, Kathy Hardin, who's been harmed physically as well as mentally thanks to death threats from crazy fools who believe an animal is more important than a human being, has decided to move away from Arvada .
She can't take the hate anymore.
But Laura Hagan, with misplaced priorities and twisted values, feels perfectly safe rallying against a judge who is trying to protect the people.
Hagan and her crew of Dog-Loving Dunces have been holding rallies, gathering petitions, and protesting the courthouse as well.
Here's what the rest of us can do:
Side with innocent children over aggressive dogs.
Call the good judge and tell him that you support his decision to put people first.
Phone: (720) 898-7150
Fax: (720) 898-7164 (available 24 hours a day)
One of Hagan's frightened neighbors made a great point: "We have to ask ourselves very, very carefully if one of the children in this neighborhood has to die to save a dog."
