OK, I would lock a guy up for stealing someone’s dog and I would impose a greater penalty for stealing and harming a dog.
However, your post did not convince me that Vick stole anyone’s dog.
Further,most of the people who want Vick ruined for life or even posted things at the time that he should be killed the way the dogs were, were not basing that on theft of family pets. They heard what was done to the fighting dogs and that was the reaction.
Vick did go to jail and that is more than enough for me in this case. Would I hire him for my company spokesman? Nope. But it sounds like it’s just a deal to wear their stuff.
So, as long as you torture and kill you’re own dogs, it’s not criminal....But, torture and kill your neighbor’s ,..well, that’s a different story.
Beam me up...
His "business associates" did it with his knowledge. He also admitted, in his plea agreement, that together with his co-defendants, he killed approximately 6-8 dogs that did not perform well. Vick admitted to killing the dogs “by various methods, including including hanging and drowning".
But it sounds like it’s just a deal to wear their stuff.
...and by doing so, entice others to purchase their stuff. I simply said, "I won't" and somehow that got turned into an allegation that I wanted Michael Vick killed or other such nonsense.
I don't like Vick for what he did, I won't forget it and I won't move on from it. And I won't support the Eagles for hiring him (but I already hated the Eagles). If he can get a job, good for him. But none of my money will go toward his paycheck much the same as I refused to buy Dixie Chicks products simply because I disliked what they said. I have that right and I'm exercising it.
