You realize that your argument could be used later on to ban hunting, right?
Fishing too?
Consider that PETA is the main interest group that is pushing this. No one else is. It is PETA and the media is giving them a firestorm because alot of people didn’t like Vick anyway, actually no one did unless they lived in Atlanta or Virginia because everyone had to play against him at some point. The fact that it is PETA who is screaming the loudest, makes you question the motives.
PETA does have an agenda. Ingrid Newkirk was bitten once by a pitbull and hates the breed. PETA doesn't hate dogfighting so much as it hates the APBT.
