conVICKt ?




OK, so you must have read by now how Michael Vick, the quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons, ran an illegal dog-fighting operation and killed dogs that were under performing.

What surprises me most is the kind of support he is getting from some quarters, especially other athletes. There hasn't been a single football player who has come out openly and condemned Vick's actions. Hell, some of them went to the extent of saying that he should be allowed to play when he returns.

I say, treat it as homicide and book him for multiple homicides. Isn't a dogs life a life? If he were to drown and hang and electrocute a human being, wouldn't you have put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Then why not now. This kind of behavior only proves what this man is capable of. Sending him back into society after 18 months is not going to change him. It may shake him up a little bit, but its certainly not going to reform him. Let him rot in the prison cell and think about the 8 poor dogs that he murdered. He deserves no less.

A lot of people have found ways to voice and show their displeasure at Vick's actions. The best one was where a student made her dogs chew Vick's trading cards and then sold them on eBay for charity. . [Update - It sold for $7400]

The three scumbags have run into a judge known to be strict and has handed out long sentences in the past. I hope he outdoes himself !!
