So now Michael Vick has pleaded guilty, to dog-fighting charges. He has lost his endorsement deals, he has been suspended by the NFL, and he is going to be sentenced to some jail time very soon.
I have been so sick and tired of hearing people call in to radio shows and writing articles trying to justify or stick up for Michael Vick.
Look, I am from the south, the dirty south to be exact. I know there are somethings that go on back home and all over the south that people want to sweep under the rug and pretend don't exist. This is one that has crept out and was leaked out because of the celebrity of the criminal.
Plain and simple people dog fighting is a FEDERAL CRIME. Please, please stop trying to hold onto that argument that we kill deer, and cows, and other wild animals. There is an enormous difference between taking a dog (a domestic animal), training it up to kill or be killed, training it to attack on command, and killing wild animals we use for food and clothing. Stop trying to justify what Michael Vick has done, it was and is wrong.
And as if that wasn't enough then we find out that he personally assisted in the killing of many dogs. Again, how vile do you have to be to hang a dog, and then once you realize it isn't dead, to drown it in a 5 gallon bucket of water. That is beyond in-human, that is sadistic. It makes me worry that if he could do that so easily and go on with his day, what else is he capable of.
No, Michael Vick doesn't need more people trying to apologize for him, he needs to man up and take his punishment. He needs to understand that there are many of us out here who will never ever look at him the same.
And part of his punishment, should be doing whatever the lowest level job is at the Atlanta Humane Society. Maybe then he will learn to show some compassion to animals.
