You're right - it's widespread and maybe all these headlines will be a wake up call.
I have NO problem hoping Vickgets the boot from the NFL - gets dropped by NIKE
and does jail time. What he's been doing for YEARS is just disgusting. It's sport to them - and if kids don't see it as a serious crime then they'll continue to think it's ok to fight dogs.
You do know they sometimes use small breed dogs as BAIT right ? Someone shared a story that after a dog fighting ring was broken up... they found small collars & Tags of missing dogs.
and they aren't going after just him - this VIDEO and article came out right after VICK hit the headlines here in Houston - these lowlife's even took VIDEO ...
it's graphic - but it shows the mentality of these JERKS that fight dogs -
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...o/4980346.html his Indictment may be good for all the dogs out there in cages waiting for their next fight
I'm all for innocent till proven guilty - but what they took from his home says it all - there was indisputable evidence and the Federal Government doesn't hand out inditements unless they KNOW they'll win - I was reading they have a 99% sucess rate - I wouldn't classify peoples feelings of disgust as HATRED - but yes - I do hate any animal abuser and judging from the response he's getting - there's a good part of the country that hates it too.
Vick is going DOWN.
