No. Vick has the idiot Vick to thank for doing 23 months.

Vick is a dumbass for putting himself in this situation. But those PETA morons don't help either.

Had this been some poor hick fighting dogs, he would have been slapped on the wrist.

Actually, you wouldn't have to go too deep into this thread title to find someone worse.

How's that?

The guy that said he'd kill a dog to prevent someone from having an injury?

Or the guy that said he'd run over a dog and nobody would care?


PETA people are 10,000,000,000 times worse than that.

Not a PETA person here.

And yes, if this stupid scenario existed, my dog is staying alive over someone getting a minor injury. People need to toughen up.

You're the one crying about a dog being dead over someone getting an injury.

In this culture, we anthropomorphize dogs (and, to a lesser extent, cats) so much because they are widely kept as pets. They are, to an extent, honorary humans. That's the difference between hunting deer and killing dogs -- mainstream America regards Bambi as, while very cute, still essentially an animal. But we regard dogs as our surrogate children.

Killing a person is obviously a much worse crime than killing dogs -- even a lot of dogs -- and I think most Americans would at least pay lip service to that. But I bet that for half of the people in this country, grotesquely mistreating and killing dogs is more viscerally repugnant than killing a man, similar to how pedophilia is commonly regarded as a much more monstrous crime than simple rape. The law just reflects that irrationality.

(Disclaimer: I'm not a dog owner, and don't feel particularly strongly about them, at least in general -- some dogs I really like, and others I can't stand. Just like their owners.)

As a dog owner, I would say that if someone harmed one of my animals I would honestly be willing to hurt that person. I find no joy in how Vick's life is turning out. But he deserves what he is getting.

I'd be willing to take even further action depending on the circumstance. The last person that thought it was a good idea to harm our dog ended up in the intensive care unit.

I would just like to say how proud I am to be a member of a board who's participants can not only spell, but use, words like this....

I'm married to a woman who constantly ascribes the entire range of human emotion to our two cats -- sorrow, joy, boredom, spite, jealousy, loneliness, guilt, melancholy, outrage -- all while they're just lying there licking themselves. It's a word that comes easily to mind.
