Michael Vick scores again....

Be a big man & let it go Richard. Did you read Staci's posts? Comment on
the subject of the thread why don't you.

Please, I commented and someone challenged me to 'try the truth'?

If hinted at you being a liar, I am sure you'd feel a bit put out.

If someone doesn't like my 'overblown rhetoric' I invite them to pass on my posts.

And if anyone thinks they can do better at 'truth' then I am?

They indeed are bigger people than I am. And god knows big people never lie.

To clarify my earlier posts. I never said I thought MV should be banned from football because his crime involved football players, and I didn't liken a pedophile and a teaching career with a animal abuser and a football career because of the victim. I did it because of the defendant. Why? See below.

What I said, or at least meant, was that a animal abuser, like pedophilia is NOT about the crime, it is about the person. A pedophiliac (sic) is prohibited from being around children ever again because it is the type of crime that warrants such post-prison control. It is a crime from which people really don't 'recover'. It carries with it reporting guidelines, housing guidelines, etc. Few crimes carry that sort of post parole control. Though, some do. For instances, convicted felons, post parole, lose the right to carry a firearm, and vote. The government has seen it fit to continue to "burden" certain criminals and certain crimes with extra punishment. I think animal abuse should be one of them.

I think MV should be banned from the limelight, spotlight, etc. I think football teams that pick this person up should be shunned. The 'price' for such infamy will not be paid by my purse strings, thats for sure.

In the situation with a pedophile, and to continue on with Staci's well said post, do you want YOUR children taught be a 'reformed' pedophile? Do you want YOUR mother living next door to a rapist? Do you want YOUR dog cared for by MV? Do you want YOUR child to emulate MV? I know my answers.

To me, some crimes are those from which people simply do not recover. MV's crime is one of them. I think he should be shunned from polite society until the good Lord takes over the matter. I think the dogs deserve no less of a commitment. Think of all the money, fame and fortune they never saw.

Thank you for clarifying - it makes more sense to me now.

Forgot to mention before but after reading this thread I decided to go ahead
and order the book, The Lost Dogs. I had always wanted to get it, but never
remembered to buy it when I was out shopping. I ordered it online and it was
delivered yesterday. I've only just began reading it.

Lizbud-
It's a great book once you get past the graphic chapters in the beginning.
I got it for Christmas and finished it in 2 days.

I agree. The first few chapters are very difficult. Life for those poor dogs didn't improve greatly, even after they were taken from Vick's property. It wasn't until they got to Best Friends and BAD RAP, and the other rescue places that things really got better.

Poor Michael - has to go home now.
