its just funny how everyone is so quick to throw the book at this guy, before a trial or anything. Off the rip "vick's guilty"????? its just funny how one person can get some must bad press about suppose involved dog fighting and isnt even found guilty, but you have all these hollywood stars getting "found" with cocaine, stealing, drunk driving, hit and run etc etc etc and people feel sorry for them lets send them to rehab and its all better and dont wanna see anything happen to them. America is real ****ed up IMO.

so i guess you were their and saw him dog fighting ???? your just as bad as the media

They had pictures of the dogs, pens and ect.. So, if you let someone put drugs in your home for storage and the police bust you, you are not guilty? Whether he was actually fighting dogs or not, he was involved somehow so he should be punished.

Hey, I have an idea. Maybe someone put all that stuff there and he knew nothing about it.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Don't be so quick to say it's only athletes that get the raw deal and celebs in the entertainment business get away with everything. There is a LONG list of athletes that get away with some serious shit.

Ray Lewis - lied under oath and obstructed justice during a murder trial.

Jamal Lewis - busted for cocaine trafficking on his cell phone and yet NEVER missed any football.

OJ Simpson - double murder.....well we all know how he got off on that.

Kobe Bryant - ****....but his defense did such a good job of smearing and discrediting the victim that he got off.

I'm not saying that MOVIE stars don't get away with a bunch of shit too but you have to draw the line where celeb status should NOT be above the law. To what degree Vick is involved is irrelevant in this conversation. The fact is that he IS involved in some way. That is for sure.

The only athlete that ever did something really awful and went away for life was Ray Caruth. In fact, his money for a good lawyer was the only thing that saved him from the death penalty.

As a proud owner of 2 well mannered and well behaved American Pit Bull Terriers, I am truly grateful, and relieved to hear so many people that are against what M. Vick is doing. After all the years of being avoided, stereotyped, and told that my dogs are "Baby-killers," this horrible crime has actually made me realize that most people are actually just misinformed. And now that it is on every TV station, people are actually sick that this is happening. These are things that have been going on for decades, and it is finally getting the attention it deserves. I hope M. Vick rots in prison and is forced to fight to the death, but i bet he would cur out.

RIP to all the wonderful dogs that were lost due to this disgusting "sport." Your death shall not be in vain.

Couldn't agree more. I have to justify the ownership of my dog on **** near a daily basis. People just do not realize how good a family dog they can be if raised in a normal environment.

I do have a question though. Why is it that pit bulls are classified as a NON domesticated animal.?? I heard they lose their mind eventually. Don't get mad, that is just what I've heard and read.

Who classifies them as non domesticated animals?

Lose their minds eventually? As in they have a tendency toward genetic mental health issues?

I think that it takes a small man to have dogs fight and to enjoy it. Being a big football player you would think he is maned up enough to fight man to man shit I would go round for round with the motherf@#$er gloves or no gloves I bet he would puss out

Sorry. I was wrong. I guess I heard wrong and was mislead. However I did pull this up.

However, it must be remembered that this breed was traditionally developed for dog fighting purposes, and even APBTs that were previously sociable may develop dog aggression as they mature; as a breed they mature later than usual, between the ages of two and three years. A responsible APBT owner does not let their dog interact with strange dogs unsupervised, knows how to avoid a dog fight, and has trained their dog to heel.

Not that it's a really big deal but I just couldn't see owning a dog where I have to always be concerned about a lawsuit if the dog were to all the sudden snap.

I know where I used to live the county required you to have a $10K life insurance bond per pitbull if you are an owner.

I realize there are alot of misconceptions about the pits. But I also know that there have been a TON of incidents where these dogs have hurt people and other dogs. Not just woop their ***** but kill other dogs that weren't even looking for a fight. It may not be the dog's fault but a fact is a fact. They can and do have the ability to inflict some serious bodily harm. Sad thing is it's MAN that has caused this problem. Not the dog.

That is a risk you take with ANY medium to large size breed of dog. If you do not realize that it makes you an irresponsible dog owner. ALL breeds have the ability to become K-9 aggressive, its just that Pitts get the most amount of media coverage. And you have Assholes like Vick that perpetuate this idiocy. If you don't have the ability to learn and think for yourself about the breed you have no business owning a pit terrier breed plain and simple.
