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.

Lou · 08-09-2007, 09:13 AM

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!

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

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...

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

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,

Ohhhhh Maaaannnnnn, Amazon is in for it now.

They aren't going to be able to take the heat once this information reaches all the corners of the public.

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!

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......

MIZBROWN · 08-20-2007, 02:31 PM

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 ?!?

crystalsmom · 08-20-2007, 02:39 PM

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.
