Adult human beings have far more options and ways to defend themselves against violence than animals... we feel more outraged when it is the helpless that is being attacked... a helpless being that did nothing to warrant the attack. It is the same reason we feel more outraged when a child is being abused rather than an adult.

A situation where a woman has the ways and means to leave an abusive boyfriend isn't going to spark the same level of outrage from me.

I'm a VT grad and Michael Vick is in large part responsible for Tech busting out on the national scene for college football. I love to watch it and it's fun that Tech is good. But, I have to say, the guy's an idiot. I don't care what color he is--if he's guilty then be punished. If he's not then don't. He's obviously not making very wise choices and don't even get me started on his bonehead of a brother, Marcus.

The world IS fucked up because of humans, not dogs. Dog fighting is just another example of man's need to have power over everything. Fucked up indeed.

DarkKnight1 said:

I agree, but to value a dogs life over a person.....that is fucked up

mdiver said:

You'd value a human's life over a dog's no matter what horrible things that human did?

mdiver said:

I see where you are going, and for the most part, I agree. But the blanket statement of valuing a dog's life over a humans is too simplistic.

DarkKnight1 said:

Definitely too simplistic. I mean we have dogs that risk their own lives to save others... then we have humans like Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy... I think it's ridiculous to say that every human being's life is more valuable than every dog's life.

So, until the war is over we should just ingnore everything else in the world? If George Bush did it, then would it be okay to be mad?

I love when people try to tell other people what to be upset about.

What ever happen to innocent until proven guilty? Were you there and saw Mike Vick actually handling a dog? Let the courts and the evidence decide his guilt or innocent. There was a case not too long ago....Duke Lacrosse, and people rushed to judge the players as being this evil group of spoiled rich white kids. My point is, let the courts figure this mess out.

And, animal rights? What about human rights? We have more humans being sexually abused, kidnapped, imprisoned and all sorts of other funky business, and nothing is being done. I love animals and I would never try hurt one, unless it was harming me or my family. But animal rights? What about human rights.

Yeah, I am, i can't stand people. They got the world so fucked up and overcrowded and inequal, who cares if another one dies? But dogs are important and would give their lives for humans, even though humans wouldn't do the same for them.

irrisistableB said:

Why can't people be angry about both? Why do so many people try to make one issue about something else?

reneGade20 said:

I think the animal cruelty hits ppl hard because the animal is defenseless and does not choice who they are with and they do not choice the kind of lifestyle they are going to live.

I guess we assume it is up to humans to be civilized enough to care for animals and all of gods creatures properly.
I have a problem with putting humans way up high on a pedestal.They only disappoint.


I feel for all abused creatures but I think he should be innocent until proven guilty.

This is still America...right?
