Sometimes we’re so caught up in our lives that we don’t know or don’t want to know of the atrocities that are being done to innocent creatures. Over the last week or so , I have been following the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal, and have found this to be so revolting and in humane that I sincerely hope that this guy is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and I still don’t think that’s enough!!
If Vick is convicted, he could face six years in prison and a $350,000 fine. Vick has a court date on July 26 for a bond hearing and to hear the charges.
It’s not bad enough that these animals were being trained to satisfy some sorry ass coward’s thirst for blood and to wager a few dollars for entertainment, but the inhumane treat of the animals after they had lost a fight is even more disgusting. Pit bulls were allegedly hanged, slammed to the ground, electrocuted and shot to be disposed of. These dogs didn't stand a chance!
Now here is a man that makes millions of dollars a year, and is supposed role model and mentor to a lot of kids and young adults who watch the NFL. Now should he be found guilty, my feeling on this is he should be banned from the league, and maybe endure one of the final options that these poor dogs endured! So many animals lifes have been terrorized and lost that this punishment hardly seems to be enough.
For anyone interested here’s a link on to more info on this disgusting story!
