Depp Kennels His Dangerous Dogs - Comments and Message Board

I, too, am an animal lover, and would really like to see Johnny find a loving home for his dogs rather than keep them kenneled indefinitely. I do not understand why the dogs would be so agressive, anyway if they were taught not to be, and were socialized with people and other dogs. Most breeds branded as "agressive" or "dangerous" are taught and encouraged in that behavior. I can't see Johnny doing this. However, besides not agreeing with a constant kennel situation for dogs, I think $4000.00 monthly is very extravagant for kenneling the dogs unnecessarily when I'm sure there are many people who would be willing to take them and provide a comfortable caring home. I just can't believe "putting them down" is the only alternative. Since Johnny is purported to be very generous and philanthropic, it seems so wasteful to spend that much for kenneling on a long-term basis when children are starving, abused, seriously ill; elderly cannot pay for medicines they desperately need and many of them are abused also; animals are tortured and abused in numerous ways and used for fashion and profits-many killed in malicious cruelty; working-class and lower economic masses of people are practically starving and barely scraping by to eke out a living; and a myriad of other problems prevail in the US and other nations. He is not the only one, but many who are rich and glorified worldwide seem so selfish to own numerous estates and homes, multi-million dollar yachts, and the best of everything they and their spoiled families whims desire. I am so disappointed to see this behavior coming from my beautiful, favorite actor and sexiest man in the whole world, Johnny Depp. I hope he reexamines some of his values and sees the waste of decadent selfish lifestyle when others are suffering. I know this is a little long, but I just had to get it off my chest.

I'm actually wondering why the dogs are so aggressive anyway. I know plenty of people who have Rotties that are personable, loving and socialized. I see many of them at the Ft Woof Dog Park in Ft. Worth, Texas, where I live that get along well with both people and other dogs. As is the case with Pitt Bulls, these dogs often get a bad rap because they have not been trained and socialized to not be aggressive, in fact, many owners WANT them to be aggressive and encourage that kind of behaviour. I really don't see Johnny as that kind of person. However, if he Does see the dogs as a threat to his family, it IS good that he does not have them at his home (or homes). But to spend $4000.00 a month to kennel 2 dogs when children are starving, people are suffering, poverty is raging, other animals are being tortured in puppy mills, animal fighting, fur trade, and various other ways, seems a little extravagant to me. As a matter of fact, I'm beginning to see that Johnny makes sure that his wants and needs and every whim of his family are EXTREMELY and EXTRAVAGANTLY well taken care of, in spite of the fact he is touted for being so philanthropic. Can he not find another loving home for the dogs? Surely "putting them down" is not the only alternative to overly extravagant kennel fees!! I have loved and admired Johnny for a good while now, and he is my very favorite actor; but I am very disappointed in some of the things I have been reading lately. Johnny, honey, if you want to throw money around, how about some worthy causes getting some of the benefit.

I also remember Johnny adopting the horse who played "Gun Powder" in Sleepy Hollow, because they were going to put him down. He's definitely an animal lover!:)

I heard that too and we watch it on cable.That good he have them in the kennels.Them kind of dogs can be mean.I know he wouldn't have anything that will hurt his children.He revolve his world around them.
