There will always be cruel people in the world who torture and kill animals and move on to torturing and killing people. So we have to cut them off at the knees (figuratively) as soon as we catch them engaging in abusive behavior. Michael Vick probably thought he could get away with it because he's a famous athlete. Athletes are often coddled from the day they show talent in their sport; and it's because of this that many of them think they can get away with reprehensible behaviors. Well, they need to learn that just because they can throw/catch a ball, run fast, etc., that doesn't mean they can get away with hurting others.
As for the unfamous creeps who engage in animal fighting enterprise (there's also a subculture of cockfighting in the U.S., also based originally in the South and also popular with Latinos), maybe antigang police forces and animal rights groups should work together to bring these vicious criminals down.

nicely the Vick tale has been happening for 2 years now and the Stallworth tale has been happening for purely some months. additionally with Vick he replaced into doing it for years till it replaced into got here upon. i do no longer think of Stallworth has been killing human beings below the impression of alcohol utilizing for years. definite the Stallworth tale could be a greater robust deal, yet i think of time is the element right here.

Yes, yes and yes. You have captured my sentiments as well.
How we can stop it - you can start right here on YA like you just did, and make people aware of the fact that dogfighting is serious. It desensitizes people from being compassionate.
Dog fighters are often involved in the sale and possession of drugs, as well as illegal weapons. The weapons are present due to the large amount of cash present for betting upon the matches.
Dog fighters and spectators have a history of violent and criminal behavior towards people.
Dog fighting is another entertainment activity for gangs.
It is not uncommon for dog fighters or spectators to involve their children in dog fighting. Research shows that young children who view this type of violence have a greater acceptance of aggressive attitudes and behavior. These children are taught to believe that it's ok to inflict the cruelties they observe and that dog fighting is an acceptable practice.
The dogs that are used for fighting have been selectively bred for animal aggression. Their presence in the community increases the risk of attacks on other animals and also people.
Unfortunately they train them on small dogs and cats to fight. Many times they steal them out of yards when people leave their pets out unattended all day. They end up as Pit Bull bait dogs. Also "free-to-good-home" animals can also end up for bait dogs. They'll tape the bait dog's mouth shut and just let the Pit kill them.
You should go to the Wikepedia and look up Michael Vick to see his CHARITABLE contributions. It is pathetic for a man who had the type of money he had and to give so little in return. The Vick Foundation, his largest mentioned contribution, is a shell. Go to the website www.vickfoundation.org. No links no information, just the logo and has been that way for some time. It's a sham. I read he has spent upwards towards $700,000 on this dogfighting thing. How does that compare to the paltry amount he has given to charities? Pretty sad, I would say.
Hey, how'd you like to be one of Vick's pit bulls that just arrived at his kennels, being kicked in ribs for not attacking a little dog (that has his mouth taped), used as training bait. Then when you finally get the idea that you will be beat to death if you don't chew the throat out of the little dog -you tear it up and eat it because that's all you get to eat. Then, what is your reward...Fight fierce teeth gouging pits again and again and even though your face is half chewed off you must win or die, cause if you lose and don't die you will have a slow "hanging" death - and the life will slowly go out of your eyes- while the audience is laughing at you. That's torture my friend. Anyone that makes an excuse (NAACP & Vick fans) for this is a sick, sadistic, and a cruel human that should be locked away before their violence tendencies kill a human!
Here's a shoe on the other paw story: How would you like to be one of Vick's pit bulls that just arrived at his kennels, being choke-chained for not attacking a little dog used as training bait (that has his mouth taped shut and is helpless). Then when you finally learn that you will be choked to death if you don't chew the throat out of the little dog -you rip up it's body and EAT it because that's all you get to eat! Then, what is your reward...You have to fight FIERCE "teeth gouging" pit bulls over and over again and even though your face is hanging and half chewed off - you must win or DIE!, because If you lose and don't die, you will have a slow "drowning" death - where you will be weighted down and held under water while the powerful hands of man (whom you trusted) hold your nose and mouth and there is no air and there is no hope and there is no help and your innocent life is slowing fading and your legs are kicking and flailing and your lungs are bursting, all the while to the cheers of the spectators for their entertainment jollies.
That's torture my friend. Psychologists say these people are dangerous to humans as they have been desensitized and have no compassion.
I have heard the black community say that white people are just prejudice against blacks, (this is a prejudice statement to begin with), I would abhor anyone doing this.
Anyone that makes an excuse (NAACP & Vick fans) for inhumane treatment of animals are just as sick, just as sadistic, and just as cruel and just as dangerous!
