    Seems appropriate to lock him up with a dog for a few days. Just don't show me the video ... not into bestiality.:hihi:

    I'm with you Askew, if it's proven that Vick was involved, he should be banned from the NFL and/or jailed and fined. That footage was some of the saddest, sickest, cruelest sh*t I've ever seen in my life. :nope: I ain't down with animal cruelty.

    to be honest, i dont see the big deal with dog fighting. it seems mean i guess, and i wouldnt do it, but i dunno about locking people up over it.

    i had a friend who would let his fish fight, should he be arrested? how smart does the animal have to be before you cant let it fight?

    The thing that bothers me about it is that if allowed, a dog will be loyal 100% of the time. Many of these fighting dogs are even loyal to their owner despite the absoulutely foul treatment they recieve. These dogs must groomed to fight like this, which can include extreme starvation and the feeding of gunpowder along with food to help induce the crazed attitude it takes to fight until the death. Fights aren't just quick and easy either; they can last up to 4 hours. Any of you at home have a dog? Imagine it whelping and crying in agony for hours and you betting and profiting of it's misery. The footage was the first I've ever seen of dog fighting and it was enough for the rest of my life. The dog doesn't choose this.

    Our jails are full of people who commit victimless crimes. This crime actually has a victim. The correct thing to do is to change laws so that crimes with actual victims result in jail time and all the petty pot smokers can go home. Then overcrowding wouldn't be an issue. But our government doesn't rely on logic so things will remain to be ineffective and expensive.

    So would you lock up someone who beats the crap out of someone else? Please tell me you value human life more than animals.

    I'm not saying dogfighting is ok, but locking them up is extreme.

    If a human gets beat up, at least one of the humans is willing to fight. There is one victim. A dog has no choice in the matter. If they are bred to fight, they HAVE to fight. Comparing it to a human fight isn't fair.

    I've seen footage of wimpering dogs limping off with their intestines hanging out dragging behind them. They are grotesquely mistreated and it takes a sick mother effer to partake in such a sickening event. If dogfighters want to see a fight, come find me and I'll show them a fight. They are all a bunch of cowards.

    ESPN has an informant that recently talked about Vick as being a heavyweight in dogfighting for some time. They are all afraid of the names he is going to give up to reduce his punishment.

    He had an intersting quote about how Vick was laying $5000 a fight in college and this was around the time he started breeding his own dogs. How does Vick have that much money in college to do this kind of stuff?
