Yeah, they just want to be left the hell alone and live decently, if
that's still possible for them. It looks like they are going to have
to euthanize all of them.:

That should be 66 more dogs Vick is charged with killing since he
created the situation making it necessary.

Hey Ben
Isn't it amazing what a strong union and a sport that has money and
power can do to defend itself no matter how dirty they are, isn't it?
In cycling Bonds would have been totally disgraced, unemployed, and
untouchable but we've got the same "journalists" and "moralists" who
are crucifying cycling supporting Bonds.
This really blows IMO because Hank Aaron is such a totally class
human being and did everything right to set this record. You want a
role model for your kids and their lives Hank has no problem being it,
and is incredibly worthy of it.
Bonds is a total POS.

WTF are you babbling about? I know some "bores" that can put people
out as fast as if they'd been shot. Deer are the ultimate free range
cattle, rabbits and woodchucks cause massive damage for farmers, but I
have no idea what this has to do with torturing animals for betting
purposes. I thought stoning white, and other, women was pretty well
confined to Islamic fundamentalists and I have no idea what that has
to do with Mike Vick.

I think I can translate: Vick shoulda picked another hobby. If he really wants
to deal with animals in life and death there's bigger, better game - or more
numerous if he's afraid of anything his own size*. Or he could just take up
other stereotypical hobbies of the particular ethno-social-moral-edu-cultural
group to which he seems most perfectly attuned - one that unironically**
self-identifies under an "N" word.

*I'd refer him to Ted Nugent who said "Hell, if I just liked killing stuff I'd
take up chicken farming."

** That "unironically" is an extremely important distinction.

Anyway, this isn't a precise science.

For myself, I don't know squat about the circumstances. I've avoided this as
much as I have Lohan, Hilton and other trivial trash. Probably comparable to the
ignorance of an ordinary American in re: the TdF. I'd be ambivalent if I cared
more. Even if it's that obvious that he was in on it I'll continue to ignore it
enough to not have a strong opinion about him until there's a verdict or plea. I
want there to be strong evidence before he even loses his job. Would a plumber
be fired for fighting dogs?

Ron,

The trouble with that scenario is that they definitely are not the same.
A rather large percentage of the perceived worth of a Sports icon isn't
solely their ability to perform in that discipline. I think it's safe to
say the same cannot be said for a plumber. And I am pretty certain that
as a part of their contract there is a behavior clause that would
protect the team/NFL in some manner. So there *could* be some
justification to simply handing him his hat and telling him to get lost.
The fact that the NFL has directed him to not attend training camp seems
to imply that at least there is some concern at the top that probably
overrides the action that would have been taken by the team.

But even with all that said I think that having him not play, but still
be paid until the conclusion of his trial is reasonable. The real comedy
in all of this is that what is likely to do him the most damage isn't
the cruelty to animals or dogfighting charges. But the gambling is
something that the NFL takes a very dim view of.

But I'd still like to see him rotting in a Federal Pen for 6 years.
Perhaps some badass would make him their "bitch" - That would be justice.

The bright spot is that the Feds don't indict unless they have an
excellent case. And after poking the anthill a few times probably more
witnesses will come forward.

Regards

Bill

Earlier it was showing this one

which was probably what the OP meant. More on topic,
and funnier.

I'm voting for putting him in a pit with some of his dogs after they
haven't been fed for a week and tortured a bit to warm them up, as is
common. I think a 30 minute sentence in this case would work out very
well.

I like the justice of it, but the dogs are better than him and don't deserve to
be put in that position.
