Reaction to Vick's Dogfighting Charges

I admit I have not really followed the Vick case all that much but since it is all over the news and sports shows and websites I hear enough about it. I am not even going to get into what he has basically admitted to doing with his plea. The more I hear and read it about the more I wonder how the life of a dog seems to be more important than a human life???? I understand that Americans love their pets and have an affinity to cute furry animals but there has been more outrage directed at Vick than at other athletes who have been involved in situations where human beings were killed or severely injured and it is puzzling to me.

Ray Lewis tried to help cover up murder. He got his share of negative press but it was not nearly to the same extend that Vick received. I don't remember everyone clamoring for him to be banned for life or to be gang raped in prison. Ray Carruth was involved in the murder of his pregnant wife and he was not demonized like Vick. Look, I do not condone what Vick was involved in and it disgusts me too but I don't think it is as bad as killing another human being.

I understand that the Peta types out there consider animal life more sacred than humans. I also understand that there are not many organizations out there better at getting their opinion out there. I can accept that Peta whack jobs have misguided ideals and like to shout them from the roof tops. The problem is that there are seemingly normal people out there who seem to believe that killing dogs or making them fight each other is much worse than killing an innocent pregnant woman. To me this is just retarded and I have to question the direction in which we are heading when this belief is so widespread.

I love dogs and IMO you have to be an abhorrent monster to do the things that Vick did but to all the people who are lining up with Peta on this issue just remember you are now in a camp that thinks killing a rat is evil but human suffering is not so bad.

Michael Vick: Al Qaeda Operative

Not only is Mr. Vick facing charges on dogfighting he is now facing a $63 Billion (yes BILLION) lawsuit. Apparently a South Carolina inmate has filed a lawsuit alleging that Vick stole two dogs from him to use in his dogfighting operation. On top of that the lawsuit alleges that Vick sold the dogs on eBay and used the money to purchase missiles from Iran, which he intended to use in an attack in the US. The lawsuit also states that Vick has sworn allegiance to Al Qaeda this February. Oh yeah, the man suing Vick wants the $63 Billion in money backed by gold and silver and he wants it delivered to the front gates of the prison where he is currently housed.

I will watch and see how this one plays out. Who knows, Vick may suddenly disappear and end up in Cuba. I would not put anything past this administration and if they find something like this to take attention away from all of their f*&% ups they will jump all over it. Of course anyone with half a brain knows this lawsuit is a joke but the fact is there are plenty of people who apparently are not blessed with that much gray matter so I could see some of the Fox News crowd buying this.

I think I will head over to Hannity and the other neo-con boards to see how many people there believe this and are calling for the government to lock Vick up in Guantanamo for terrorist ties. I bet there are few.
