vick

man where can i even start. I really dont know how to have an opinion on this without passing judgement but ill try. being from a rural community the concept of fighting dogs is not that strange to me. really it doesnt even bother me that much. it is simply what pit bulls where bred to do. still it is supremely cruel. more cruel though is the ways in which the federal indictment describes vick and his partners at bad news kennels executing the animals after failing them in battle. several of the killing remind me of ways that serial killers begin their dessents into hell by torturing and killing animals. hanging, electrocuting, and body slamming dogs until they die is incredibly inhumane and just plain sick. hopefully vick himself will only be guilty of providing the property and betting on the dogs in fights. hopefully it is soley his cousins responsible for the terrible killings of these dogs. and if he is responsible, hopefully his example resonates through the dog fighting community and puts an end to a horrible and incredibly shady pratice.
