Good post Ditka...
I think my mind me a actually be a little bit TOO OPEN.
No matter how many times I say, "I'm not defending the Vick's actions", people still don't get it...
I value human life and humans' well-being over that of an animals....
At the end of the day, dogs are animals.... domesticated or not, why should a dog have more rights than a chicken, horse, pig, or any other form of "livestock"...
AGAIN, I REPEAT, I AM NOT SAYING WHAT HE DID WAS OK... JUST BEING REALISTIC
Stop being animal lovers for one second and think about.... hard, i know because your emotions cloud your judgement...
I'm sure alot of you cry when the Sarah McGlocklin animal abuse commercial comes on....
An animal heiarchy is funny to me --- again, these are my opinions, take it or leave it....
Let's really look at this.....
People treat the Vick brother's like they're serial killers.
Mike Vick has been accused of smoking weed and animal cruelty....
They're criminals, yes, but when you look at the big picture... they're PETTY CRIMINALS...
People in this thread want to tar, feather, and stone them to death....
Are these same people this active in trying to keep murderers and rapists off the streets?
Probably not.... but since it's an athlete, someone in the spotlight, things get blown way out of proportion....
A grown man is responsible for his actions, not his mother....
Church pastors, teachers, motivational speakers, humanitarians all have kids that have been in trouble and seem to be a lost cause....
It's life... as parents, we can only do so much....
