Michael Vick's 'dog fighting'

[krahmaan]

Who here thinks that what Michael Vick did was ok? Do you agree with underground betting on the fights of pitbulls? I've never been involved with any betting on animal fighting but have you?

Does this excite you? Do you feel it's fun to watch and you make good money with it? Please share.

[Cricket]

Does it excite me? No, it disgusts me.

[robert s.]

there are not many things which i find more disgusting than dog-fighting!! i have no clue who michael vick is, bit i hope he gets seriously punished!

[Timinator]

I wrote an article about this also. According to Vick's plea agreement it's possible for him to see no jail time at all.

He was the QB of the Atlanta Falcons. He's currently suspended, but anyone want to bet he'll be in a uniform in a year, or two?

[Costin Trifan]

I agree with Cricket on this one.

but if you want to read something really disturbing (not a dog fight which can be considered a joke in comparison with this) take your time and read this thread:

It's not very long but there is something I want you to see

[Cryxellis]

Very disturbing, I hate to see animals fighting
almost killing each other. What is exciting about that?

[krahmaan]

How about cock fights? Or even the matador’s fighting and killing of the bull? Are these similar to Vick’s backyard dog fighting? I've never heard too much negativity on these other sports of killing animals like I've heard on Michael Vicks involvement in dog fighting.

What do you think, are they similar or is one considered better than the other? I feel this makes for great discussion.

[G10]

Why would normal people want to force animals to kill each other and bet on it?

I thought man had moved on from such things but obviously there are still some backwards, non-caring people that enjoy it.

Any animal being killed or maimed for the pleasure of others is wrong.

[pctec]

Dogs are pets... pets are family members...
Anyone who would do that to a family member is total SCUM!
I hope he receives exactly what he deserves...
What he deserves is far worse than he will get however...

I wish I had final say in what criminals receive.
But then again, I'm sure I would go to hell for my deeds if I did.

[Julie]

I'm not really for the killing of any animals for sport or entertainment, whether that's humans killing them or humans forcing the animals to kill eachother. It's disgusting.

[dee_el07]

I don't want to do those kind of stuffs like making money tru animals and or making them fight just for the sake of entertainment or something.. really disgusting..

[Timinator]

Vick will be sentenced in December. May be they ought to put him in an arena with some pissed off dogs!

The good that has come out of this is that this crap is more visable now, and hopefully people will turn more of these dog fighters/ cock fighters etc.

Interesting here. Dog fighting is bad, immoral and deserving of prison terms.

But we can watch a lion eat a man, and humans - in some perverse desire to be seen as "hip" and Liberal - applaud the lion.

I think the animal rights freaks on the Left are idiots. When you offer up your own species to be murdered, or prioritize the lives of another species to the detriment of your own, you may be "hip", but you're still an idiot.

yes, i think dog fighting is bad, immoral and deserving of prison terms.

but i also think, men should not be eaten by lions - and i do not watch videos where you can see something like that....(even when i clicked your link - the second i saw that it was not a joke i shut it off!)

and i do not applaud the lion!

i do not want to be hip - i do not want to be liberal - i just have the opinion that it is wrong and cruel to organise that two creatures are forced to fight and kill each other, for the entertainment of others - dogs, rooster, bears, humans .....fill in any living creature

and yes, i do believe that everybody who organizes "events" like this should be put in prison!

[garryb]

Well, Justice will be served to Michael Vick.

[Timinator]

Nothing liberal about it, taste of his own medicine. In fact some liberals would get ticked by such a comment. I could care less if it is the hip thing.

There was an old man that was beaten by two thugs 80 years old. I personally think they should have the crap beat out of them. I guess that's why I will never be a judge.

[John Scott]

taste of his own medicine

Meaning?

[Timinator]

he set up the fights, maybe he should be in one, and see how he likes get bit.

Who set up the fights? You suggesting that everybody who was attacked by a lion or dog or other animal set up animal fights?

Let's apply this insane logic to eating. You have eaten meat? Cow, pig, etc? According to your logic, I should say "you eat butchered animal; maybe you should be butchered and eaten"?

Is that what passes for intelligence these days?

[Timinator]

lol, you are taking a simple concept, and making it complex. Eye for an eye. That's all.

huh?
