What about them? What about the dogs that were removed from his property? These poor souls have been tortured and maybe will have to be put down because of what they have been through. Are we to only count the dogs that they killed? Michael Vick and people like him are the reason that this Breed Specific Legislation is being put into law in numerous states and responsible dog owners and their pets that have not harmed humans or other animals, are now going to pay the price for these other people. This man should get the maximun sentence and as far as I'm concerned that wouldn't be enough for what he has done!!! Even if he was sorry for what he has done, to God knows knows how many animals, he should get the maximum sentence, but I don't believe for one minute that he is sorry. Just listen to all the different lies that he has told and look at the expressions on his face. He is not sorry at all for the torturing and killing of all the animals involved in this dog fighting.

Vick is a liar and needs prison to think about what he did. Oh, and his buddies too! Maybe when he's in prison Hollywood can do a movie on him. "The longest yard." OOPS! Sorry, that's been done.

Interviewed someone from Sports Illustrated (I think) who said he has been inundated with emails supporting Vick and comparing dog fighting to hunting (geez ~ it's only a few dead dogs). Also said the responses seemed to follow racial lines. Maybe we need to get the word out to the sports community about how we feel... NPR just had a brief segment on the MV plea deal.

I have no control over legal decisions made by others, but I am free to decide what *I* believe about Ookie the Dogfighter: "Michael Vick is a LYING dog killer." That'll look nice on a sign, a billboard, in skywriting above a stadium, won't it?

It's not that they think gambling worse than torturing animals in an absolute moral sense, but gambling strikes at the heart of the sport itself and can't be tolerated in any way, shape, or form. Bad behavior off the field doesn't affect the sport directly the way gambling does. I'm happy that the gambling angle is what really sank Vick with the NFL. I think the NFL did exactly the right thing. They left the door open just a bit by calling it an indefinite suspension--just in case Vick is magically rehabilitated and truly remorseful after he serves his time, so the NAACP and its ilk can't squawk too much. But it's a pretty safe bet that he's out for good. And I am very thankful. 2CatMom, all sports leagues consider gambling the worst offense AGAINST THE SPORT.
