The double standard that drives me nuts

Last night on the radio, the host went on and on about how upset he is that a famous steak house in New Orleans was wiped out by Katrina and probably won't rebuild. Oh, how he'll miss his steaks. In the next sentence, he told us all how disgusting it is to be cruel to animals.

That's America. People who starve their dogs--in some instances--actually have to go to court. People who torture millions of animals daily are protected by the government.
