Question

Answer 1

I really think you're comparing apples and oranges with your examples but I get your point. The same people who are up in arms about Vicks actions see no problem whatsoever and are doing absolutely nothing to stop hunters from putting salt lick on trees and laying in wait for some hapless deer to come up so that they can blow it away. In my opinion, that's no better than dog fighting or the traditional fox hunts in England where they run the foxes to ground and let their dogs tear them limb from limb - all of which is still perfectly legal despite the fact that those animals are, largely, just as defenseless as pits. People are just upset because dogs are cute, domesticated pets and refuse to accept the fact that they're complete hypocrites.

If someone says that they're sorry for doing anything and they are sincere in their contrition (you all seem to be of the opinion that Vick is not sincere but, I'm guessing that you don't know him personally and aren't really basing that assumption on anything more concrete than your own capricious opinions), as a society we have an obligation to give that person a chance to redeem themselves. If we do not, we are only hurting ourselves because there can be little motivation to change your ways if you're always going to be judged by one mistake and that criminals and/or deviant behavior will only continue.

Answer 2

Is Michael Vick a relative or close friend of yours that your ranting about his injustice....He is a public figure, who makes a ton of money, and wouldn't give you the time of day if you crossed his path.....he thought it was fun to fight dogs, and the money from the betting was probably a lot. Guess there are many idiotic people who think that sort of thing is alright. He got caught!!! Murdering your wife has nothing to do with what he was doing....So get over your Michael Vick agenda.....We all know why your ranting.....Knock off the race card dear!! It's old!!

Answer 3

One thing has nothing to do with the other, and yet in a way it does.

People who indulge in cruel sports are often associated with guns and drugs and tend to be violent. People who are cruel to animals grow up to be cruel to adults - i.e., commit murder and violence, become serial killers - icruelty to animals is one of the first signs of a disturbed person.

You say people don't care about these other issues - why can't someone care about many issues? Why, if I say I care about something, does that give you the right to say, well, what about this issue - as if I don't care about it? And who are you to tell me or anyone what I should care about?

Michael Vick isn't sorry - he's sorry he got caught. If someone who went on a shooting rampage said they were sorry, are we supposed to believe him and say enough already? Poor guy? I don't think so.

Answer 4

Who is "THEY"? People speak out about battered women all the time. We donate time, money & a sympathetic ear. We give them food, shelter, clothing a job and an escape.
A lot of women don't speak out for whatever reason...a DOG can't speak out.
Was he sorry about the FIGHTING or GETTING CAUGHT?
sheeeesh
Why are you even talking about the two in the same breath?

Answer 5

Sweetie pie, Animals cannot defend themselves. Vick should be mauled by pit bulls until he learns some common sense.

Answer 6

I am uninterested...don't care if I hear that name again,ever.The mutt didn't get nearly what he deserved.I hope he gets shanked in the pen.That would be justice served.

Answer 7

I think it's terrible when people kill their wives or girlfriends. And there should be a very stiff fine for it.
