Dog Fighting, Michael Vick, Gambling, and Our Outlook on Things

[spicedogs]

Those who don't really know me more than likely can tell by my LJ name that I love dogs. Hence, when I learned about Michael Vick and his abusive treatment of dogs, I was very upset. As far as I was concerned, the fact that he gambled is not what matters to me. What matters to me is the cruel way he treated those dogs. In my opinion, not only does he deserve to go to jail, but he should be undergoing strong psychological treatment to (1) enable him to see that his behavior is not tolerable, but deplorable and (2) teach him to respect life and animals.

What bothers me a lot is that the NFL is going to punish him not because he mistreated animals, but because he gambled. What is wrong with our society?

If Mr. Vick likes fighting so much, maybe he should fight himself.
