Last minute reprieve?

Judge Saves Vick Dogs From Death Row:

It appears the dogs seized during the Michael Vick dogfighting investigation will be spared, at least for a while.

Federal Judge Henry E. Hudson approved an order Thursday afternoon ordering the U.S. Marshals Service to take custody of the 49 dogs.

The judge's order directs the Marshals Service to use "whatever means appropriate to protect and maintain" the dogs.

Wishful thinking, probably, but I hope this means someone in charge will put PETA and the HSUS [Pacelle: "I don’t want to see another dog or cat born"] on hold and listen to some real experts.
