If hunters treated deer or any other animal the way Vick did they would go to jail too. What Vick did was just plain cruel. Hunters believe in fair chase and certain laws have to be followed. For example; A hunter can not go out and shoot a deer just to cut off it's antlers and leave the rest. That is illegal in every state. That is called wasting game. And you will be arrested for it.
Also, the dogs Vick had were trained to fight each other for money. Hunters don't do that. A wild animal has plenty of opportunity to get away from hunters. Which is why the success rate of deer hunters in most states is only around 25%. That doesn't mean there aren't a lot of deer, it means that the deer know more about thier enviornment than humans do.

Hunting is legal and humane thats why. Hunters don't drown or electrocute animals. Hunters shoot for quick and clean kills and respect the animals they hunt by selectively harvesting mature animals. Hunting is for population control which is regulated buy state and federal wildlife officials, who believe it or not know alot more about animals and what are healthy populations that what anti hunters "think" they know. And as for the statement by chris_fr don't start playing the poor minority thing. Anyone who has a college education shuch as he does should obviously knows that fighting dogs is illegal and anyone with 1/2 a brain wouldn't kill the dogs the way he did if they couldn't fight. When are people gonna quit twisting this thing into if hunters can why cant he and hes a successful minority and the man is out to get him. Maybe you should write ESPN and see if you can put a lets kill dogs that wont fight show on Sunday mornings if you think they are so much similar.

Vick went to jail for engaging in an illegal activity. Hunting is not illegal. When you look at it this way, hunting is the natural order of things since all things in nature hunt. Man is a hunter/gatherer. Bears (another cave dweller) likewise hunt. Cats hunt. Dogs hunt. Wolves hunt. Even lambs hunt for greener pastures.
Training dogs to fight is un-natural, inhumane and just plain stupid. What if this fighting dog enraged on steroids gets away and attacks a child? Which has happened time and time again. A policeman friend of mine pumped two .40 S & W slugs into one these dogs and we never found it. See how dangerous they are? Which is why people engaged in this illegal activity must be held accountable.
Hunters, on the other hand, if they are legal and ethical, are merely putting food on the table. Where do you suppose your Mickey D's prepared your way with everything on it comes from? Where do you suppose your leather wear, foot wear and leather upholstered furniture and car seats come from? Where do you suppose the Colonel gets his chicken? Ever seen what happens in a slaughter house? Visit one sometime and you'll see how fair hunting is compared to herding gentle, domesticated animals to the slaughter so that you can get your food prepacked all neat and clean. Where do you suppose the expression: "Like lambs to the slaughter" comes from?

She did not nor does she shoot moose (that's also its plural) for FUN! They EAT it. When's the last time you had chicken or beef? Same thing. Vick's behavior was admittedly cruel. He enjoyed watching dogs fight to the death. There's something desperately wrong with someone like that. They beef them up with steroids, train them to kill, file their teeth, etc. etc. And if they aren't killed in the ring they take 'em out back and shoot 'em when they are no longer able to fight. So shut the up.

How is it possible for someone to be as stupid as you are and still be able to breathe? Seriously, the ONLY people who compare Vicks crimes to hunters are RACISTS. You may not want to admit it openly, but you are a racist. Using every tactic al sharpton and jessie jackson brainwashed you into thinking is right.

Hunters kill game animals you lamebrain. That SOB participated in the killing of at least 60 dogs. As far as I'm concerned he can rot in the joint. He's a worthless piece of humanity.

Killing a dog in that case is not hunting!
Dear anti-hunter or anti fisherman.
America was founded by people who fought with their lives for the rights we have. Among of which is the right to have guns. If you are against that you are against the Constitution of The United Sates of America and therefore a threat to America and out liberties.
Our forefathers hunted, some trapped and about all of them fished. These men and other who shared their beliefs CREATED this Nation.
So if you are out to prevent hunters, fishermen or trappers from their freedom of expression, free enterprise, and the means to feed themselves you are going directly against EVERYTHING our forefathers built this Great Nation on.
You can not expect the millions of people who carry on the traditions of our forefathers to change our Constitution and beliefs for you.
As I write these words Americans are fighting and getting killed on a foreign soil FOR THESE RIGHTS!
You are a disgrace to your Country. For instead of just using the freedom people have died to give you to choose not to hunt or fish. You instead try to FORCE your Anti-American agenda and beliefs on the TRUE Americans and destroy our Constitution.
During World War 2 a Japanese General said; “We have woke a sleeping giant!”
Well if you anti-American jerks aren’t careful you will wake that giant again!

Did Vick have tags and licenses for all his dog kills? If not, maybe it is ILLEGAL. Hows that for a concept. Hunting game animals is not illegal..
