I don't recall Barbaro being slammed to the ground, electrocuted and drowned...He fell and broke a leg...

dude, Barbaro suffered a life threatening injury, the other JERK killed animals for fun.
Barbaro was operated on to save his life which they did BUT they knew he wud get infections that wud not be treatable.
VICK killed dogs for the thrill
what about Charismatic, the horse faded, and lost the lead to Belmont winner Lemon Drop Kid with 1/8 mile to go, ultimately finishing third behind second-place Vision and Verse. Sensing something wrong, Chris Antley dramatically jumped off Charismatic and held up the colt's left front leg. Indeed it was broken in two places. Many say Antley's actions saved Charismatic's life, and the horse underwent career-ending surgery the following morning.

Dogfighting is torture. People watch a dog eat another dog alive! What is it you don't get about this outrage.
REAL men don't abuse animals.
There is a lot of abuse going on with animals and it's up the those of us that HAVE a voice, to speak for the defenseless.
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. 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!

Bottom Contributer - Yes, he is that dumb. All these Vick supporters do is sit on their asses and dream up scenarios that could somehow lessen the impact of Vick's terrible crimes. These guys (along with Vick himself) aren't even as smart as Barbaro. We shouldn't even answer their stupid questions anymore. Vick is gone - he's not coming back. Out of sight, out of mind. Forget about him and move on.
