I'm a hunter but I do draw a distinction between when I kill a wild animal hunting and what Vick admitted to doing. Vick not only was involved in a dog fighting ring but also admitted to torturing under-performing dogs to death by hanging or slowly drowning them while electrocuting them with jumper cables and car batteries. Also for entertainment they would gather dogs that were raised as pets and watch the trained fighting dogs maul them to death.
Maybe I'm being hypocritical but I see a definite distinction.
Don’t get me wrong, it is sick but they’re still animals and animals have NO rights. Once you get beyond “in general, the only things that should be illegal are actions that violate the rights of others” like the US has then anything goes. SanFran just banned freakin Happy Meals for no reason other then they didn’t like it, subjective feelings ought to have no basis in making law.
Again what Vick did was sick but you have to keep in mind that no ones rights were violated nor were they planned to be violated.
