What's wrong with Michael Vick?

So he killed dogs. So? I bet a lot of people in the NFL hunt animals. whats the difference. they're both doing it for money most likely. I mean, just because dog is "mans best friend" doesnt make it better than a deer or something. I say dog fighting is overrated on the "bad" list. hunting is just as bad. I mean, killing is killing. So why is one form of killing worse than another?

    How is it that everyone jumped on vick and not on the others that were with him too?

    It was never about the dogs. It was about bring down a rich super star... okay a dumb super star.

    He killed animals to gain profit. Hunting for deer is different and you can only hunt deer or other animals in certian seasons. People eat deer and use it for other things. Dog fighting isnt killing for a purpose its just cause your a moron. That dog should bite you on your @ss.

    He was involved in an illegal activity that's sole purpose is gambling. Professional athletes that get involved in gambling eventually lose money, lots of money. Michael Vick is in a position as a quarterback to determine the outcome of a football game, you figure out where that would eventually lead.

    Please tell me your kidding. What Michael Vick did was wrong in so many ways. Hunting animals is bad too but not as bad as having dogs fight eachother. Would you like someone to take your dog and have people bet to see if he would win? Yeah killing is killing but I would much rather be shot and killed with one or two shots than torn apart by another dog.

    Well, many, many people hunt deer and moose.

    A lot less people hunt dogs, let alone hang and shoot them

    Something is different between the two, and it's mainly just how they are killed.

    I disagree that hunting and dog fighting are the same. Though I personally believe that neither is acceptable, dog fighting is an actual act of abuse and excessive animal cruelty. So here you go: I can shoot you in the head and you'll die quickly and never know what hit you. Or I can pull off your finger nails and toe nails, scalp you and stab you 35 times and watch you slowly suffer. How is that the same?

    Let me start out by calling it a FELONY! I think its illegal to torture and kill animals. Even behind closed doors or in your own house it doesnt matter. That is why we have laws to keep sickos like that in place. His money might get him out of this one but the NFL wont let him forget.

    Michael Vick is a thug. Pure and simple. He belongs in jail and his brother Marcus does too. They are ghetto through and through. I live in the hood and see their type all the time. Lock em up.

    His biggest problem was that he lied about it.

    Hope that teaches someone, somewhere that honesty actually is the best policy..sometimes.

    He wasn't even that good of a QUARTERBACK anyways. Noticed I said QUARTERBACK, since he is a very good scrambler.
