Excellent perspective.
At the risk of offending the more delicate pet owners here's the deal...
Dogs die every day at the pound or get run over in the streets by cars.
So should the workers at the pound or the guy who hits a dog with his car go to jail?
No.
and if you take your own dog out in the woods and put a bullet in his head because you're tired of him crapping on your carpet or are just tired of feeding him, no one will hunt you down and jail you for it.
So don't get it twisted. Vick went to jail because of the gambling operation. The press (and the prosecution) used the dog torture angle to boost ratings and to skew the jury. If all they had on Vick was the dog-killing angle, he wouldn't have done more than a few months... If that.
Big difference. If you believe only half of what is said, he removed teeth from female dogs and let other dogs kill them for training. Thats a little worse than getting euthanizing. Hung by the neck till dead. A little worse than getting euthenised. Vick did some really horrible things. My opinion is he shouldn't be allowed back, but I'm just glad there is no way he'll be a Texan. I personally guarantee I won't cheer for any team that signs him.
