Michael Sick
I've been really disturbed--even from "across the pond"-- about the Michael Vick dogfighting case and I'd planned to do a post about why. But really, all my reasons have already been mentioned by others: the cruelty, the insanity of such a rich guy trying to get even more rich by profiting off cruelty, the fact that he lied about being involved...but the simple fact is that I'm upset and angry because two of my major loves are dogs and American football and Michael Vick has abused both. And I know "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all, but I can't help hoping that he goes to jail. I'm sorry, but I can't.

The worst part is all his fellow players coming out to support him, even comparing dog fighting to deer hunting (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=nba&id=2986644 )! I signed a petition at PETA (http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/afalcons_vick_4) which asks the NFL to add cruelty to animals to the list of activities in which players cannot participate in or risk losing their jobs. It seems horrific that they would even need to do that, but the evidence is in.
yeah i signed that petition, too...just still totally disgusted and saddened by the whole thing. what a sociopath.
