Do you think Saint Francis is sad because of how we treat animals?

Question

What do you suppose he thinks of vick?

Answer 1

Yes, I do.

If I were to convert to Catholicism it would be because of St. Francis. There was a statue of him in the atrium of a church where I stayed after hurricane Katrina. I sat there a lot.

I hear those that wanted Michael Vick to be let off and it frustrated me. How can someone take a dog and turn it into a machine just for amusement? How about we throw some of those guys in a pit with pocket knife and tell them they have to fight. Too inhuman, people would yell. Bah

Answer 2

I don't know what Saint Francis thinks, but I know what I do!

People who do things like that should be put away for a long long time, and never be allowed to purchase another animal.

Answer 3

If he were in a position to be sad, he probably would be, but he died and the Bible very plainly says:
@Eccl 9: 5 For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

As for Vick, He will have to answer for his deeds just as everyone else does.

Answer 4

Probably. Saint Francis is the great patron of Creation -- he preached to birds and animals, giving them full dignity as created beings of a loving Father.

Answer 5

He's probably more sad that most of us takes shower everyday and that you cannot go naked in the streets without being sent to prison.

edit: St. Francis never takes shower and went naked across the town. He did love animals so much, he even talk to mosquitoes.

Answer 6

Vick is paying for his crime; and he is off the street to not perpetrate this crime on the helpless; it is up to us to protect creatures that can't defend against the cruelty of some
