Michael Vick forgets......

[Sukie1941]

"Dogs that didn't show enough fighting spirit or lost matches were put to death by methods that included shooting, drowning, hanging and electrocution, according to the indictment. Prosecutors allege that on one occasion earlier this year, Vick participated in killing eight dogs....."

From my readings most of my adult life, I believe that all of those things that Vick participated in concerning the "death by methods" against dogs also happened to Vick's forebearers, the Africans who came to the United States as and to become slaves.

What is he thinking, or is he?

2. Not to minimize Vick's brutality

But there is a BIG difference between animals and humans.

Brutality is wrong in both cases.

However, I would think that violence against a human might be on a different scale.

3. I disagree

Animals are just as important as human beings. Why, I actually prefer animals, thank you very much.


If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit, for whatever happens to the beasts also happens to the man. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the Earth befalls the sons of the Earth.

11. I assume you're a vegetarian

and I do hate cruelty to animals.

[Madspirit]

8. I am one who does not...NOT...think humans are more important than animals

In fact, we are animals and we are THE most brutal animal on the earth.


Humans aren't the only life on the planet. They just act like they are.

6. I doubt Vicks

was thinking about his ancestors personal history when he engaged in this. If the allegations are true Vicks isn't going to be playing football anytime soon. He would just be another low-life animal abusing creep.

7. Animal abuse is an indicator

You'll find that a huge percentage of people who commit violence against humans have similar disregard for animals.

(yes, it's sarcasm.)
