It is hard for me to say it but I actually feel bad for Michael Vick. It is not that I think torturing animals is ok, but I have a lot of problems with people who were protesting against him. He has not been convicted yet but people were already demanding the Falcons get rid of him. Sure if he is found guilty he should be sent to jail. But athletes have committed crimes against PEOPLE and not get that type of protests. Domestic violence and even murders have been committed by athletes and yet nobody protests at their hearings or at their team headquarters. Some of these people bring dogs to the protests. They put clothers on the dogs with signs on them. I never understand people who clothed dogs, esp. in the summer. That seems to be cruelty to me!

Animal rights activists have bombed or burned laboratories doing research with animals. Never mind that these research may someday cure diseases, people cound have been killed during these crimes. A judge recently agreed with animal right groups and put an injunction against the navy from practicing with sonar technology in the ocean. I don't know enough about the science of this to say if the sonar is as a disaster for whales as it is alleged in the lawsuit. But I did not see many people from the U.S. coming to the defense of the Puerto Ricans a few years ago when the navy wanted to use live ammunitions on their islands. I am very leery of people who thinks that animals are more important than people. It is sad that more people worry about what Michael Vick did than what is happening in Sudan.
