The fact that a dog probably has more rights than I do anyway if it was attacked violently is a whole other thread.

---well, unfortunately, those dogs really don't have many rights at this point. I'm sure most of them will be destroyed due to their violent nature. Hell, Vick and his entourage of idiots already destroyed a shit load of them. If I kicked a dog in the face, I'm not going to face much punishment. If I kicked a person in the face, well, now I'm looking at assault, battery, jail time, lawsuits and a criminal record.
Anyway, this really isn't so much about a dog's right more so than about breaking the law and being a sick individual... and now having to face the fucking music. In my opinion, if Vick was stompin out cats and pigeons in his back yard for the hell of it, I'd still think he was an extraordinary piece of shit. Not only that, but this whole thing is, of course, sensationalized just because he's Michael Vick. No, I don't think there's any embellishment about the horrors of dog fighting, but this media blitz isn't going to stop soon; but, I feel this is a good thing. This shit happens everyday. People know about it, but just don't care. I'm glad the media is putting this in everyone's face due to celebrity status. It's a situation that needed attention for a long time. Are things going to change for pit bulls or dog fighters anytime soon? No. But it's a stepping stone.
