Former Nun Cited For 62 Counts Of Animal Cruelty

The SPCA was literally chasing down some animals as they were taken out of a Philadelphia row home Wednesday.

Neighbors said the women who owns the home is a former nun who just couldn't say no to taking in homeless animals.

Police said the woman was cited for 62 counts of animal cruelty, meaning she could have to pay $43,000 worth of fines.

Animal control workers wore masks Wednesday to avoid the smell that was coming from the home that contained 46 cats and 16 dogs. All of them were placed in Philadelphia Animal Control and Pennsylvania SPCA vehicles.

I can relate.

Repost: Use Your Freedom To Write Wrongs

Amnesty International
About a year ago I posted this picture that was used as part of a human rights campaign by Amnesty International. Recently someone posted a comment asking about it, and I realized that without context part of the impact might be lost.
A.I. altered the original photo, (shown below) which at the time was one of the most widely known images of the Vietnam War.

From the BBC:
It shows the South Vietnamese General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing a Viet Cong officer with a single shot to the head.

Photographs do not tell the whole truth, however. The prisoner had just killed at least eight people, which is what led Gen Loan to carry out the execution.

The image was to change the public perception of the war and haunted Gen Loan until his death.
