I think they should post the "Tribute to a Dog" in Michael Vick's jail cell
Gentlemen of the jury, the best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son and daughter that he has reared with loving care may become ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith. The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him when he may need it most. Man's reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees and do us honor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our head.

The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his DOG. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and in poverty, in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground,where the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his master's side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer, he will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wing and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journey through the heavens.

If fortune drives the master forth an outcast into the cold, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger, and to fight against his enemies. When the last scene of all comes, and death takes his master in its embrace and his body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws and his eyes sad, but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even to death.

1. you know those programs
where inmates train service dogs?

He should be required to SUCCESSUFLLY train "x-number" of dogs before he can get out. (X being as many as they think he was responsible for killing or injuring)

He could tell us how hard they bite.

7. Sad you feel the need to mock others' empathy and outrage
What drives this kind of venom? Are you in favor of dogfighting? Or do you just not register the suffering of any being who isn't human?

10. Sad also you don't see any problem with advocating death-by-being-eaten-alive...

11. You seem to have a problem with other people's empathy
Do you have a pet? Do you love that pet? Is that sick, sick, sick?

Am I sick if I say that I would defend my pets with my life? That I would easily kill anyone who was trying to harm them? It's called love, and it's entirely valid for people to feel that toward animals. If you can't understand it, then that's your loss.

13. Did I say he should be killed by being eaten alive?
A Belgian Sheepdog clamped down on his football-tossing forearm would make him quickly reconsider his life choices.

You're the one with the sick imagination.

Do you still beat your wife?

2. I think that he should serve his time just like any other criminal
if convicted. I think these masturbatory fantasies of justice don't do anyone any good.

It would give him 'someone to poop on!"

6. Why? To Vick, those are just words.
He's a pile of shit. Caring left the station long before this asshole ever purchased a ticket.
