That is messed up. You wonder why these poor dogs have such an ugly rep.

And why don't we spay and neuter people?? Sometimes I am very ashamed of being part of the human species. Just insulting.

I'm not sure if you saw it, but another NFL player(from the Washington Redskins) came on national TV to SUPPORT Vicks and the possible dog fighting, and to say that dog fighting was not only ok, but that he knew all about it, and alleged he knew where the fights happened etc. Then later on, he backed off and issued a statement saying "I don't know anything about it, and I don't support dog fighting." Which was a COMPLETE lie compared to his interview before! What a jerk!
I just can't get over people who think it's okay to do this. Why is it that it's okay to have two dogs fight each other, tear the flesh from each other for "sport" and it's NOT cruelty?

Yup, Clinton Portis

:fork:

Here's a link to anyone that is interested.

Here's a quote from that link:

Portis and a teammate, offensive tackle Chris Samuels, defended Vick. Portis said that if Vick is charged and convicted of dogfighting, "then you're putting him behind bars for no reason."

and another:

"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not, but it's his property. It's his dog. If that's what he wants to do, do it," Portis told WAVY-TV in Norfolk.

:rockon:

:mad:
I just don't know what to say.... Poor dogs.

It amazes me that people who make millions of dollars a year doing something that they haveloved since they were little can't live an honest life. Dog fighting is sick and so are the people involved in it and supportive of it. If you saw this on espn the other night it was even worse because they were actually showing the dog fights it was so gruesome. I hope that Michael Vick gets charged for everything he possibly can.

Thanks for the facts of who that was from the Redskins team. The quotes rock, I knew what I heard on tv, but hadn't looked it up online. Google really hates me.
