Its alright, ive heard harsher words :)
I dont know, life in general is harsh to say the least really. Survival of the fittest and im sorry but if people would concentrate more on how to prevent homelessness for example would maybe do more good. How about being an actual creature of intelligence and planning offspring? We just keep multiplying on this earth and eventually we are going to run out of resources! I just think as creatures as intelligent as humans we just need better systems of thinking but we somehow seem to only live and think in the now.
The whole purpose of us being on this forum is we are animal lovers and pet owners. Of course family is the most important thing to us and some people look at their animals as their family members.
If I imagine someone doing to my dogs what Vick did to his I would only want the same thing to happen to him. Inhumane torture, a tooth for a tooth.
These dogs did not die because their bodies were used as sustainance for another creature, (ex. rats for snake food, cows for humans to eat, etc.) these dogs were killed because they were not performing right and not making the human money. Thats the sickest and most heartless thing I'VE ever heard! Money really is the root of all evil and it makes me depressed that most people only see animals as a way to make profit. And some will go to great lengths to get this money out of the animals, even if its not in the animals best interest. I mean look at all these new "designer" dog "breeds". I remember 10 years ago when a person could barely give a mutt dog away, now were making all these mutts as "designer" dogs and selling them for $500+. Making all these unwanted, unnecessary dogs when there are TONS of dogs in rescue centers all over the country. Theres NO reason to make a designer dog but people do it for money.
I dont agree he (Vick) was sincere in his apology or served the right time for his crime.
His crime has been over time just swept under the rug and pretty much forgotten. And I dont like that. And I dont agree that we should let felons play pro sports and be in the public eye. How about real heros? Like our soldiers DYING oversees? I see the news about Vick but what about an actual hero who gave his life for us so we can feel safe. Vick catches a football and people cheer, how about a cheer for the american military? Those are the people who should be seen and praised in my opinion.
