what a crock of poop fighting dogs, killing dogs by hanging, drowning letting them fight to kill.
and he pled bargins for probably 1 year in jail. our government has gone beserk
then after he is out the nfl will probably let him play football at $130 million dollars.
i think he should be treated like any killer. what's with these sports teams, not enough good players. found with drugs,steroids, coccaine, killing,shooting, abusing woman and the nfl, nba, mlb slap their hand.
any other job in the country would never rehire you for that same job.
i mean he is so bored with his life in a mansion, he has to buy and breed fighting dogs to kill for pleasure of betting.this is entertainment.
the guy has a contract for $130 million dollars. they should make an example and ban him for life from playing football or any other sport.
lets get tough in this country.
hi all cobby, caveeey, vanilla,acorn

While waiting for lab work in the waiting room of the local hospital, a man started a conversation with me about my standard poodle service dog.
He told me that they make good fighting dogs too.
No reply to him.
I just cruised my power chair across the room. Conversation over.
What kind of person thinks that way??

I do volunteer work for the local humane society and I volunteer with a dog rescue group... But I also feel outrage and sorrow for any human who is abused, tortured or killed...including those I despise or who killed someone I loved.
All those guilty of human or animal torture should have their day in court.
And ...When we don't object to state sanctioned torture or state sanctioned murder of humans we are just as guilty as Vick. When our government sanctions torture in the name of anything....we are just as guilty as Vick...because we have allowed it. We become something less than admirable, less than we are capable of being.
My opinion from the heart.

America's first war dog, Stubby, served 18 months 'over there' and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front.
He saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, located and comforted the wounded, and even once caught a German spy by the seat of his pants.
Back home his exploits were front page news of every major newspaper.
Stubby was a bull terrier - broadly speaking, very broadly! No one ever discovered where he hailed from originaly.
One day he just appeared, when a bunch of soldiers were training at Yale Field in New Haven, Ct;
he trotted in and out among the ranks as they drilled, stopping to make a friend here and a friend there, until pretty soon he was on chummy terms with the whole bunch.
One soldier though, in particular, developed a fonest for the dog, a Corporal Robert Conroy, who when it became time for the outfit to ship out, hid Stubby on board the troop ship.
So stowaway Stubby sailed for France, after that Cpl. Conroy became his accepted master, even though he was still on chummy terms with every one else in the outfit; and in the same spirit of camarderie that had marked his initial overtures at Yale.
It was at Chemin des Dames that Stubby saw his first action, and it was there that the boys discovered he was a war dog par excellence.
The boom of artillery fire didn't faze him in least, and he soon learned to follow the men's example of ducking when the big ones started falling close.
Naturally he didn't know why he was ducking, but it became a great game to see who could hit the dugout first.
After a few days, Stubby won every time. He could hear the whine of shells long before the men. It got so they'd watch him!
Then one night Stubby made doggy history. It was an unusally quiet night in the trenches. Some of the boys were catching cat naps in muddy dugouts, and Stubby was stretched out beside Conroy.
Suddenly his big blunt head snapped up and his ears pricked alert. The movement woke Conroy, who looked at the dog sleepily just in time to see him sniff the air tentatively, utter a low growl, then spring to his feet, and go bounding from the dugout, around a corner out of sight.
Afew seconds later there was a sharp cry of pain and then the sound of a great scuffle outside. Conroy jumped from his bed, grabbed his rifle and went tearing out towards the direction of the noise.
A ludicrous sight met his eyes. Single-pawed, in a vigorous offensive from the rear, Stubby had captured a German spy, who'd been prowling through the trenches.
The man was whirling desperately in an effort to shake off the snarling bundle of canine tooth and muscle that had attached itself to his differential. But Stubby was there to stay.
It took only afew moments to capture the Hun and disarm him, but it required considerably more time to convince Stubby that his mission had been successfully carried out and that he should now release the beautiful hold he had on that nice, soft German bottom.
By the end of the war, Stubby was known not only to every regiment, division, and army, but to the whole AEF.
Honors by the bale were heaped on his muscled shoulders. At Mandres en Bassigny he was introduced to President Woodrow Wilson, who "shook hands" with him.
Medal and emblemed jackets were bestowed upon him for each deed of valor, plus a wound stripe for his grenade splinter. Not to be left out, the Marines even made him an honorary sergeant.
After the Armistice was signed, Stubby returned home with Conroy and his popularity seemed to grow even more.
He became a nationally acclaimed hero, and eventually was received by presidents Harding and Coolidge. Even General John "Black Jack" Pershing, who commanded the American Expeditionary Forces during the war, presented Stubby with a gold medal made by the Humane Society and declared him to be a "hero of the highest caliber."
Stubby toured the country by invitation and probably led more parades than any other dog in American history; he was also promoted to honorary sergeant by the Legion, becoming the highest ranking dog to ever serve in the Army.
He was even made an honorary member of the American Red Cross, the American Legion and the YMCA, which issued him a lifetime membership card good for "three bones a day and a place to sleep."
Stubby At Georgetown!
Afterwards, Stubby became Georgetown University's mascot. In 1921, Stubby's owner, Robert Conroy was headed to Georgetown for law school and took the dog along.
According to a 1983 account in Georgetown Magazine, Stubby "served several terms as mascot to the football team." Between the halves, Stubby would nudge a football around the field, much to the delight of the crowd.
Old age finally caught up with the small warrior on April 4th, 1926, as he took ill and died in Conroy's arms.
It's said, that Stubby and afew of his friends were instrumental in inspiring the creation of the United States 'K-9 Corps' just in time for World War ll.
Why do people forget things like this? Why doesn't the press report things like this?
Pitbulls were not bred to kill and bite people. They were bred unfortunately to fight other dogs.
The only thing I can say is that they may have a higher tendancy (sp?) to be dog aggressive, but that is it. All of my dogs were good with cats, rabbits, dogs and kids.
I have never even been growled at by a pitbull. I have encountered many small breed dogs that want to kill me, but you dont see them on the news, and their owners think it is funny.
It is all the stupid morons who teach their dogs to be aggressive and fight and bite.
I wish I could get my hands on those jerks because I would kick there a$$.
These dogs truly are some of the most loyal, brave dogs and they are GOOD with KIDS!!!!!!!
I hope someday they will have a good reputation and the losers who fight them and train them to be mean will be gone.
My best buddy named Diesel was a pitbull. That dog was the best. He was the nicest dog ever. He protected me from an intruder in my home.
My daughter used to sit on him and watch tv. They would just hang out like that.
He also used to drag his belly down the stairs to itch his belly.
Unfortunately, he died 2 and a half years ago of heart failure. may he RIP...
Thanks for letting me rant. I feel strongly about this subject. Can you tell?

I guess you are right, Cavey!...can't go mad if you are already there.
Been to crazy, got the t-shirt. And a little magnet and one of those spoons.
I am a big fan of dogs. No one is happier to see me at the end of the day than my dog. I had a dog that died of lyme in the 90's. Broke my heart...in some ways irreprably. I have known very nice pitt bulls...had an wonderfully sweet rottweiller. My old dog now is a spaniel mix. The one I lost to lyme...who knows what he was. We have a young little terrier mix, too. She's nuts but a real little joy. Good personality.
That guy should be strung above a vat of water from rusty fishhooks in his fingernails with just the toes submerged while they shock him.
Repeatedly.
Then, I guess, if he survives, they can put him in jail. I think while he is there that they should play "Henry the Eighth" over and over and over again the whole time he is there in his cell.

Yes yes yes!!! Vick should be hung by his fingernails. If the NFL allows him to return....well, it's just a disgrace.
Hmmm, wonder what the email address to the NFL commissioner is? Maybe we need to fire off a few emails!
