Bennett could have funded a dog fighting ring and some people here would still defend him.

I read a lot of posts around here, and although I don't post much I see that mentality all the time. I'm not the only person that has noticed that certain people will excuse away almost anything because he's "our guy". I'm not talking about just this issue either, it's just something I've noticed as a general theme with some people on .net
Now go ahead and tell me abandoning your dog, no matter where, is a good thing.
How is it bad that he left his animal under professional care? The ONLY reason this is news is because they couldn't contact him to get their money and took him to court. If he'd paid up, this would be a non-story. That tells me that this should really be less about the animal and more about the fact that he just doesn't pay his bills. That's really all this is about.
I said it above....everyday across this country, pets are put to sleep due to the fact that their owners can no longer care for them. It's a fairly cheap option that nobody blinks an eye over, but when someone puts a dog in a care facility where it won't be killed, then he's some kind of monster. It makes no sense to me.
Was this a bright move on Bennett's part? No it was not.
Was this animal cruelty? Far from it.
And before you ask....yes I'm a dog owner, and no I would never leave my dog behind.
