Millions of people watch on national TV, wagering millions of dollars on some animals competing against each other while ladies in big hats parade around just to be seen at the event. One of the animals is injured and is killed while the world watches. Anyone going to federal penitentiary? Millions watch as human beings savage each other on national TV every week, and I'm certain no one bets on Ultimate Fighter. Anyone going to federal penitentiary? Millions watch and wager weekly during football season while big men run as fast as they can and slam into each other. Anyone going to the pen?
I am sorry for Eight Belles, and I am sorry for the dogs at Michael Vick's fight kennel. I am sickened by the double standard (and snobbery at the best, and racism more likely) that sends Michael Vick to sit in the Federal pen because he owned a kennel that promoted dogs fighting each other while people bet on them. We celebrate the breeding, betting, and abusing of horses. We honor those who can beat the crap out of their opponent. But we can't tolerate those who want to watch or facilitate dog fighting. Hey, I don't think people who breed dogs so they can attack each other are very nice people. I was never a Virginia Tech football fan, I don't follow the Atlanta Falcons, I've never been a huge fan of Michael Vick, but 10 years in Leavenworth??
Free Michael Vick!!
