LOL!!!!

http://www.vickdogchewtoy.com/ :D :D :D :D

:D Well, that's really interesting!! As I said before, in some wierd way, we need to be thankful to MV. If it weren't for him, there would never be this much attention being given to this horrible abuse.

For My Coby, that is so true. If it is someone in the public eye it always helps to get the media coverage you want.

:thumbup: :thumbup: Too bad he didn't choose campaigning AGAINST animal abuse instead of taking part, benefiting, or allowing it. :thumbdown :thumbdown

I didn't really word that right. I meant media coverage WE would want to stop some of this dog fighting. I'm tired I guess lol that's my excuse.

Well if you're tired, I must be too, because I did read it the way you meant!

LOL so did I !! :D

Ok you two:yeahthat: :idontknow :interesti

I'm going to bed:D

My sister just ordered these for our dogs today! :D

:thumbup:

According to the indictment he lost more than he made on the fights. Then factor in the cost of the property, the buildings, and the dogs. Even just the way they chose to kill those poor dogs. They did it for the fun of it.

One good thing, it's unclear whether or not they are going to be able to charge them under the new federal law but dogfighting has gone from being a misdemeanor to a felony.

:bravo: :bravo: :bravo: :bravo:

Now that I read it again I agre with you. I am very sorry for my tone of voice Crystal! Will you forgive me?:(

You were just being passionate - I know Joan will understand - she's a very funny lady - she was probably laughing when she read the response - not at you but how easy it is to take something the wrong way - It's happened to me too and later I just have a big loud 'OOOOPS' running thru my head LOL

The way I see it is at least we're all outraged and as well we should be.

I ment to say Sorry to JP and thank you to Crystal!
All thumbs and knots today.

Lou all I can say is I'm glad I'm not the only one that get's things confused now and then....don't give it another thought.

If anyone hears any updates please let us know.

You're right V. I just get so very upset over dog fighting and I can't get this one off of my mind. I actually go looking for dogs that match the description so I can turn them in. I won't go to a dog fight but my husband has been invited to one in the past. For some reason he didn't show up and the police raided it! :rolleyes:

LOL!!!...I WAS laughing when I read this!....I was reading Lou's first post to me and I had to read it a couple of times with different tones, as in sarcasm, serious etc. to try and figure out how Lou's response was to be taken ...I went "Uh- Oh, I forgot to add the eye rolling icon to demo. it's not to be taken seriously"... I'm glad Crystalsmom stepped in,Thanks...Sorry Lou again, but I understand...:D

Hey V, I have an "OOOPS" for you again....If your talking about me, it's Barbara. LOL :D :D
I

HAHAHAHAHA !!! MAN - I thought when she said 'Crystal' she meant Joan who is Crystals mom - and spoke with my foot in my mouth - I'm off to take my Geritol.....I heard it enhances mind function - maybe I should take a few ????

and ok - revised - BARBARA was probably laughing - and see - I was right !! LOL

(shutting up now)

Now I'm REALLY confused! :fainted:

Join the club :D

:D :) :D :) :D :) never thought a thread about michael vick would give us a smile.

I Got This Email Today

Dear Joan,


Amazon is the main distribution channel for these cockfighting magazines. Tell Amazon to stop fighting for animal fighting.


In the wake of the high-profile indictment of Michael Vick, the nation has been awakened to the cruelty of animal fighting. Members of Congress, corporate leaders, and people like you are speaking out. And Louisiana and New Mexico enacted laws this year to outlaw cockfighting -- the last two states to join the fold.

Online retailer Amazon is now in the lonely position of promoting animal fighting activities. It's the only online retailer of subscriptions to animal fighting magazines in the United States, and these magazines advertise the sale of fighting animals and cockfighting weapons -- sales made illegal by federal law! The Feathered Warrior even advertised fighting dogs from a dogfighter whose operation makes the enterprise described in the Michael Vick indictment look like a bunch of amateurs.

This nonsense from Amazon must stop -- tell them so right now.

Amazon sells subscriptions to cockfighting magazines like The Gamecock and The Feathered Warrior and claims the right to sell dogfighting videos. These materials are not only offensive because of the cruelty they glorify, but their shipment is also a federal felony under the recently-enacted Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act.


Amazon claims that its commercial sale of these publications is protected by the First Amendment. But the First Amendment does not protect companies advertising illegal contraband, and that's exactly what the magazines sold by Amazon are doing.

Dogs and chickens suffer grievous injuries or death in fights produced for depraved fun and shameful profit. Please ask Amazon right now to stop selling animal fighting magazines. And don't forget to tell your friends and family how they can help, too.

Thank you for all you do for animals.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States

Ohhhhh Maaaannnnnn, Amazon is in for it now. :D They aren't going to be able to take the heat once this information reaches all the corners of the public. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

THis is simply too much to isn't it? By the way, I heard that more of Vick's friends are flipping on him and he is running out of time to cut a deal. He is still pleading innocent!

Woo Hoo
 

Hope For Good News Today
 

If they can prove the gambling alone he's out of the NFL for good:)

This is from CNN today

The first one is the NFL GM's trying to decide if he could ever play again.... I just don't see how it would be accepted with all the public outcry in this case.

The second is a great use of the ol' Vick jerseys...... :thumbup:

I argree with the #2 post... Its really unfair for everyone to pass judgement on someone, based purely on allegations... Innocent until proven guilty - right ?!?

He just admitted his guilt today !!

Thanks for the links 'For My Cody' the judge said he also had to make an apology to anyone he ever hurt.....how could he the dogs are dead.

He is very lucky he was offered a deal and we will find out next Monday how much jail time he will serve. His gambling alone should keep him out of the NFL.
