You have heard the story?

Question

In the news about the man who possesed ricin in a motel room? What really irks me is he made the stuff ( knowing the dangers and consequences of it) and yet it contaminated his body and he was a pet lover and by the time the police got to his hotel room the humane society had to euthanize his dog because it was found starving to death without food or water...and now the man has regained consciousness and is upset about his dog.... don't you think as a responsible pet owner he should have thought about the consequences for carrying an illegal biological"weapon" around? Do you think this guy should go to prison or do you believe his story that he made it in "case he needed to protect himself"?

Answer 1

It is sad that this has happened, but it is even sadder, and irks ME, is that people like yourself place the value of animal life over the value of human life.

cristelle - I  KNOW you are stating this. AND this is why I answered as I did. Duh (as in - your focus is on the pets!) duh Where's your concern for human life???

Answer 2

I agree with you. If the man wanted to take risks for himself, that is his business, but by endangering another person, animal, or even plant, he has become responsible for the consequences of his actions.
