Michael Vick's Indictment Turns Spotlight On A Seedy, Abusive But Lucrative Blood Sport

[davegf]

His conviction won't act as a deterrant in th eslightest. Maximum penalty for him is 1 year in jail and a fine.

1 year??

Pathetic.

I only hope that the NFL celebrity Michael Vick's is convicted, and his sentence serves as a deterent to others engaging in this vile crime. Anyone participating in this kind of recreation/behavior has absoulutely no conscience or empathy toward life. Vicks deserves the maximum sentence for his sociopathic behavior.

According to his indictment, Vick's pit bulls were summarily executed after losing fights. Vicks and his buddies would kill the dogs by 'hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground'. The matter could not be any more clear cut to me - this guy should be cut from the Falcons, suspended by the NFL, every one of his sponsors should drop this loser immediately and he should be behind bars.

A story that is not being covered here, is that of *** fighting. It is just as rampant as the dog fighting, and even more in the open. Yet, I don't see anything being done about this cruel game either. I think it also needs to be said that what punishments does exist for these type of sports is relatively minor.

Hey--you all at CBS, Thank you!

Insofar as deviant savagery, don't we make our 4-legged "brothers" appear relatively tame??
This is probably as bad as it can/will ever get--there's just! no where to go from here but up.

We NEED!!! to keep the pressure up & Disincentives STRONG.

Thank you CBS-- you were the only internet news group that is still running this story today. we can not let this one just fade away-- or get replaced with Paris Hilton-- this is a problem we should be talking to our representatives about-- and putting pressure on them to stiffen the laws and punishments for these crimes. I have to believe that we can do something about this!
