The dogs who were bred and raised to fight to the death were victimized and tortured while Michael Vick who had every advantage a human can have as an adult, chose to entertain himself by funding and watching dogs being ripped apart and if they weren't vicious enough he punished them by torturing and killing them as poor performers. Whether or not Michael Vick can be rehabilitated is only a small part of the problem. The fact thay he is allowed to play football and put his tainted name on a clothing line is despicable. The fact that he has fans because he can play football is unbelievable. By the way, Vick will soon be able to own a dog as a pet.
Quotes from Gandhi:
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way in which its animals are treated.
I hold that the more helpless a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man from the cruelty of man.
