What message do those game send?

My chosen specific cause is Animal Rights. I care about other things as well but Animal Rights is what I actively advocate.

I can't save the world, no one can. You can only give as much as you have, money and energy, and some causes are more important to me than others. There are others who advocate other things which I don't.

It's silly to expect one person to take up every cause and care about everything equally.

All I can say is at least I try. I stand behind my beliefs and I do what I can for Animal Rights.

If you feel strongly about other violent games, by all means, take action. I know for a fact folks do protest against those games. Perhaps because someone they love was killed violently.

Some folks have causes based on personal experiences. Such as having an autistic child or maybe thy were the victim of domestic abuse. In those cases, those folks will probably be more inclined to advocate for those issues.

I won't go into the other organization I'm a part of because it is too personal. Rest assured, I care about other things.

I certainly don't need to justify my beliefs and which organizations I advocate for, to you, or anyone. But I want you and others to stop using the argument of, "well, why don't you care about such and such also.."

May I ask what charities you donate your time and energy to? Wouldn't you agree that it would be silly if I chastised you for volunteering at a soup kitchen but ignoring senior citizen abuse in facilities? That doesn't make sense.

I understand what you are saying and I am not knocking you personally, if I came off that way I apologize. My issue is that people seem like they're upset with this game because of the so called violence in it and cruelty towards dogs. its not the app really, its the violence in the app. If it were a game just about raising a dog there wouldn't be a problem. The issue is the violence. But there are several apps in the App Store that are very violent. Now Google has a right to allow what they want in their store cause its their store, its not the public square like Phil said last week. But my issue is that if its the violence and supposedly cruelty people are against, then why not pressure Google to ban all violent apps? Towards any species!! LOL
I actually raised Pitt bulls when I was younger and never EVER fought my dogs. I was overly selective on who I sold my pups too for that very reason! But I can't say that the developer of this game is a jerk and his app should be banned, and not feel the same about other games...... That are violent! Unfortunately, this is the double edged sword of trying to be fair and open. If people don't like an app, don't DL it. This app got popular from all the negative press it received.
My passion is young people and Im a youth pastor and donate my time and money to inner city and suburban kids alike. Do i like violent games, some yes but the ones I don't like I can't say that certain ones should be banned and not others like it. Again I apologize if I offended you.

For fans of Dog Wars (or whatever name it's going under now) here are a few pictures of the real thing. These guys can't be re-energized or brought back from the dead.

Where is the glamour here? I don't get it.
