I think that this whole thing is just blown way out of proportion. First of all, these are just dogs. When did we start putting the value of dogs over human life? He was wrong for his actions, I’m not defending them, but he doesn’t deserve prison time. If this were to happen to a human being then I would certainly understand everyones hatred for him but, lets just be real, “THESE ARE JUST DOGS”.
Whoopi has a point. You may not understand it, but bottom line, it’s a reality. It happens, it’s accepted, and Vick was wrong but he was wrong for being a product of his environment, just like anyone else who grows up with hatred or unacceptable behavior in our society. He doesn’t need persecution, just understanding, as do all of us.
Normally I don’t like to say “just dogs.” but these things were pitbulls. They are not good for anything except dog fights. That said, I would like to be around people who engage in this business.
