We all know that Michael Vick has pleaded guilty to being involved in dog fighting but is it really that bad of a crime?. We have all sorts of crimes happening all over the world for example: The Iraq War and abortion. I do not condone what Vick has done but with all the media scrutiny and all the people with outrageous hate against Vick has me a little ticked. Discuss Please!!!!!

So, what is your point, exactly? Is the fact that there are so many bad things going on, that we should just overlook this? I agree, there are alot of bad things, going on. I don't agree with any of the bad stuff that's going on, and I'm just as mad about it. I just don't understand why more people aren't mad about this. It's cruelty, plain and simple, and this type of cruelty in alot of cases, goes farther, in to turturing people. How many serial killers, started out with animal cruelty? The majority, that's for sure, maybe all. I would never trust a person, that's cruel to animals, to be around my children, or grandchildren. They are among the lowest forms on Earth, to me, just as the murderers and the molesters are. They're oneand the same, if you think one form of abuse is ok, you probably think they all are.

If more people knew this discussion existed, believe me...there would be so many people who would agree with us and chime in about how animal cruelty is very wrong, many serial killers do start out like that, and how comparing it to another completely different topic for the purpose of downplaying the topic at hand is typical of someone who is supportive of this type of action. Brendakaya.....will you be my friend? I see we share the same opinion about this topic and if you read the post's above by me, you know How I feel about this guy. Thanks for gettin my back.

Are you cool about animal crulity, down with making dogs fight when they don't have to or want to, and killing them when they don't perform to your expetations, if so then your in the same catorgory as him. Of course there is other crime and alot of it is towards humans and not pets. Why would that have anything to do with the fact that Vick is a piece of sh**? My dog is a pit-rot-boxer and is part of my family. Last summer we had a neighbor walking down the street at dusk to show us her new baby. At this time we had another neighbor across the street who had 2 pitbulls, 1 was friendly, 1 was ordered by Rockford Police to stay in a cage at all times because it was a violent animal. On that day the violent one dug a hole under its kennel and excaped. It was hidding under their house across the street waiting for someone to come near it to strike. As I waved at my neighbor who was coming down to show her new baby, the dog ran from across the street and tried to bite her legs while barking and jumping. My dog sprinted past myself who was getting up to help, and tackled the pitbull into the street. My dog then leanded up against my neighbor and barked,snarled, and growled untill the pitbull retreated. The point of this story is that dogs are like our childern and we need to look out for them like we should look out for anyone or anything that can't protect itself. I got into soooo many fights in high school because of bullys picking on people that couldn't or wouldn't stick up for them selfs. Because of all the fights I got into, I got a rep of being a sort of enforcer at my high school. I feel empathey for people, pets, and situations. And if Vick did what he is now admiting he did, he deserves to get the strongest sentance allowed. Why,....because he did it and its not cool or anyone who does this kind of activity, should be busted.

Calm down. I do not approve of what Michael Vick did (I have already stated this before). Thanks for the story and it is inspiring but calling somebody a piece of crap really takes the light out of your story. Yes dog fighting is wrong, but what about abortion that is legalized.

Your statement downplayed the dog fighting situation he commited and compared the severity of the crime to abortion. Now then with that said, yes abortion sucks and but it is another ball game, in another state. Comparing the two topics while downplaying the severity of the orignial topic is why I got heated. If I offended you, I apolige, but saying its not a big deal compared to other crime is messed up.
