YT Addict | I have pits myself. I never really thoguht about all the people like Helen Keller that they were talking about that had them. Goes to show that they were not always looked at as "bad dogs".

Senior Yorkie Talker | I cant watch it. The commercials made me sick to my stomache. There will be NO forgivness from me for him. I know your "supposed" to forgive, but when someone does that to innocent animals who only want to love you and for you to love them back. Also i know you aren't supposed to "hate" ppl, but i HATE him and i hope he dies a horrible death. Normally i would apoligize for being so blunt, but i wont apoligize for this.

| It's all in how they're raised and trained. They also mentioned Petey from "The Little Rascals." I watched those shorts on TV as a kid, and that was NOT a violent dog. |

My sig. says what i have always believed. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. Any dog can turn on a person. But there is NO reason for dog fighting!!

YT Addict | Wow. I wasn't aware of how few of the dogs were actually put down. out of the 53 dogs only two were put down. One is now trained and used as a therapy dog. I am so glad these dogs were given a second chance at life.

| I have to wonder if this had not been a case that gained so much public interest if the outcome for these dogs would have been diiferent. I'm sure there were people coming out of the woodwork to offer one of these dogs a home. I wonder if their motivations were completely noble, or if it was partially because these were "The Michael Vick" dogs. My past experience with these types of dogs and situations is that it is NOT very common to place them. (Unfortunately, I missed the show. ) |

| Vick Yes, I watched. I remember the case, but didn't know a lot of the details. Vick sure paid a high price for his cruelty, which is appropriate. He lost his $130 Million football contract, plus fines, etc. He didn't get enough jail time, but he did get jail time and that's good. I hope he has a lot of time on his hands to consider what he did. There has to be something amiss in a person's character to even think about dog fighting. Vick had everything, absolutely everything, and he did it. I'm glad he's paying a high price! |
