Animal rights protesters hold up placards denouncing cruelty to animals before Atlanta Falcon’s quarterback Michael Vick’s arrival in federal court to face federal dog fighting charges in Richmond, Virginia July 26, 2007. Illegal in all 50 U.S. states, dogfighting is condemned even by social conservatives and avid hunters for whom animal rights is seldom a priority. This probably says as much about the dog’s high standing in U.S. culture as it does about the cruelty of the blood sport… REUTERS

Your photo caption is in poor taste, and you should be ashamed. You don’t even know what you’re talking about.

P.B.

Yes, it was a bad caption, which was borrowed from a story whose lead badly needed improving. The phrase …even by social conservatives and avid hunters for whom animal rights is seldom a priority… was subjective and should not have been posted as it was, in a story or a caption: GBU Editor
