YA’LL ARE WRONG. sPORT HUNTING IS INHUMAINE BECAUSE MANINLY NO ONE EATS WHAT THEY KILL. THEY ARE ALL STAGED HUNTS, USUALLY GUIDED BY HUNTING GUIDE, SOMETIMES EVEN ON A CLOSED RESERVE. IT IS PLAIN AND SIMPLE KILLING. lOOK AT AFRICA, I NEVER HEAR PEOPLE DISCUSSING ABOUT HOW TASTY RHINOS, AND LIONS ARE. dOGFIGHTING DATES BACK TO ROMAN TIMES,SO IT HAS BEEN AROUND. i DO AGREE HOWEVER IT IS HYPOCRITCAL TO MAKE MICAEL VICK OUT TO BE THE POSTER CHILD FOR ANIMAL ABUSE, WHEN THERE IS A DOCTOR IN MY CITY WHO GOES SPORT HUNTING EVERY YEAR TO CENTRAL AMEICA JUST MURDER SOME ANIMAL LIKE A JAGUAR. hE IN MY OPINON IS WORSE OR JUST AS WORSE AS VICK. bUT YOU DON’T HEAR ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE. ALL MEN AER KILLERS AND THEY WILL KILL EITHER PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. aNIMALS JUST DON’T HAVE A VOICE OR A LEGISLATIVE BODY.

OH PLEASE! Another accusation of discrimination when there is a legitimate response to BLATENT ILLEGALITY? Jesus! SHUT UP!

This is not a racist issue, people! If the perpitrator of the crime was a FAMOUS CAUCASION, their neck would go in the noose just a quickly! The fact that a sports hero is low enough to
participate will certaily be capitalized upon by Animal Activists in order to make headway with awareness and animal protection laws – as WELL IT SHOULD!

Stop pretending that blacks are still innocently persecuted in America! Open your eyes and look around! Our society has entirely changed in the last 40 years – Dr. King would be proud! That doesn’t mean there isn’t room to grow, things to fix, mids to change, but the bottom line is that black and white children DO play together – EVERY DAMN DAY! I saw a black family at IHOP over the weekend, eating in a restaurant at a table right next to me, a white woman, and the teenaged son openly, but respectifully commennted that his waitress, a white woman, was not very good at her job – AND SHE WASN’T. Not only could this scenerio NEVER HAVE HAPPENED at the start of my life, but the entire family would have been lynched for behaving that way toward a white woman. THINGS HAVE CHANGED, so stop with the sense of entitlement and open your eyes – VICK is a hood that made good, but not good enough to behave legally, and THAT is what is being address, not his African American Heritage.

You wanna go the prejudicial route, you better pick a better hero! This dog won’t hunt!

In response to the well thought out explaination why sport hunting is “better” than dogfighting. It is still killing of an animal out of human entertainment because will the average sportsman starve if he does not kill a helpless deer? Is it because a dog is more human a family member a domestic. In some cultures dogs are used for food. So the real underlyng issues are that an African American sports celebrity is a target to mainstream America because of the money he makes period.

Bill: Any smart organization would use this for publicity if it could help their cause. I would be careful to call it a “stunt,” however, since it was not orchestrated by HSUS, but simply taken advantage of. Anything that brings this kind of global attention to a problem (I read about it on the front page of a Polish news portal yesterday)should be exploited by anyone serious about solving it.

Watch Senator Robert Byrd’s rant on dogfighting for a laugh (“BARBARIC….”). The guy is obviously not playing with a full deck of cards, yet somehow keeps getting re-elected by the good people of West Virginia. But yeah, I wouldn’t place any bets on the Falcons for the playoffs next year.

This whole thing is nothing more than a publicity stunt by The Humane Society of the United States. They have used their tremendous influence and 200 million dollar bank account to destroy Vick. All you have to do is follow the money. Apparently H$U$ has some friends in high up places in the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. The FBI allowed convicted criminal JP Goodwin (HSUS so called investigator and former ALF member) to ride shotgun on a cockfighting raid in Tennessee along with over 100 other officials. H$US is already bragging about leading this investigation, but they are also asking for donations to care (actually “oversee”) for Vicks dogs.

There is VERY important issue that has been ignored here. The laws that Vick is alleged to have broken were MISDEMENERS until May 30 of THIS year 2007. There can be no COSPERICY on a misdemeanor. The maximum fine is $15,000 dollars not $300.00.

H$U$ is using the issue to fatten their bank account, just like they did with the abandoned animal issue after Katrina. By the way that increased their net worth by $30,000,000. Just follow the money trail
