Though it still baffles me that anyone could take the side of beating, strangulating or drowning a living thing for sport, I wanted to share this link to an article by Colbert King: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/08/24/AR2007082401648.html ...it's the most level-headed, non-reactionary article I've read so far. Thanks everybody for your action. Mr. Vick has been suspended from the NFL, his big-biz endorsements cancelled. Thank you for speaking up for those who have no voice.

Vick should lose all of his money, lose his career and sponsors, then spend the rest of his life in jail. The same goes for anyone who fights animals or has anything to do with animal fighting. They're all evil! I say Vick and all who fight animals are possessed with greed, hate, and pride.

Three F-bombs in one neat paragraph - your Momma would be <em>so</em> proud. I'll fully admit that I like animals more than most people and it seems you've made it to the <em>'most people'</em> list. I find little weight to the<em> 'they're just animals' </em>argument and I realize I'm a little wacky, but thank you for the reminder. swingin’7 - thanks for such a thoughtful and articulate contribution to the discussion.

Should he get off scott free? NO! Should he be jailed and have his career ruined over it..HELL NO! We're talking about DOGS here poeple. There are folks that kill PEOPLE that don't receive the punishment you want bestowed Michael Vick. I'd say hit'em where it hurts (in the pocket) with a nice hefty fine, and the indictment will put enough scare into him to let'em know don't do this stupid bullshit again. But you fuckers are talking all this "evil" shit like he's launched another holocaust, geeze! get a fucking clue. You’re all fuckin’ diseased! Should he get off scott free? NO!

Still, I think they should put him down like a bad horse or at least treat it as more than a silly misdemeanor. He killed and tortured animals. Dillweed!

Honestly, I don't give a fuck about Michael Vick, or the NFL, but if we can make an example of this sports "hero", it could have much more impact in overall US society than going after anonymous small-town dogfighters.

I simply can't understand how it's only a felony to do what he's done. They should tie that bastard to a fence, cover him in steak and honey and let a pack of starving dogs say 'Thank You.' Good luck on organizing your Euro tour. :) Yeah, Michael Vick’s unbelievably evil to me. I simply can’t understand how it’s only a felony to do what he’s done.
