Of course not. But he didn't. Like it or not animal cruelty is not on a par with human cruelty. Nor should it be. Yes I know a lot about the case. Including the fact that we seem to be ignoring. The fact that a lot of this is cultural. Dog fighting (and other animal fighting and subsequent cruel treatment) is still taking place in many parts of the southern U.S. Should it be stopped? Of course but the practice is part of many cultures.

And you'll never see me calling him a hero. In fact I don't think anyone here called him that did they?

Do we have to endure a new thread every time Vick does anything football related? Why was this thread started? Go read the first post. It had to do with one person taking joy from another person being injured. Sad, regardless of your personal thoughts about Vick.
