The new year of one-time vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin started on a rather controversial note. She posted a photo of her 6 year old son Trig standing on the family dog Jill. The Facebook post was intended to wish everyone a happy new year, but instead got intense criticism from many people who identified the act as animal abuse. On the NEXT PAGE you can see photos along with the comment that Palin posted that alarmed many.

Meanwhile there are dogs being skinned alive and cooked……priorities people priorities.
Obviously, Trig didn’t realize he was doing anything wrong, and the dog was very patient. But that doesn’t make it any less wrong. Things like that happen, but the most unacceptable part is that instead of stopping and correcting the behavior, the adult in the room (I’m assuming that was Palin herself) stopped to find a camera! Children need to be taught to respect animals as living beings if they’re going to have pets in the household, and that isn’t the way to do it.
And no, I’m not saying this “just because it’s Palin”, I’m saying it because it’s true. I couldn’t care less whose kid it is, it’s wrong. When I caught my children doing things like this, I corrected them, like a responsible adult who wanted them to learn proper interactions with pets. Dogs and cats are not stuffed animals. The next dog might not be so patient; if a bite does occur, it’ll be the fault of the adults who failed to properly supervise the situation, but chances are it’ll be the dog who pays the price by being euthanized.
