His prison sentence was for breaking the law that doesn't allow dog fighting. It was more than usual because he funded it. No penalties were attached to the cruelty he personally committed against some of the dogs. Yes, he served his time. Has he truly realized that what he did to the dogs was wrong? I will doubt it with my dying breath. He's sorry he got caught...sure enough. Sorry for what he did to the dogs? Never happen. I saw a post from someone who said he respected the dogs. What planet are you on? He did more than fight them. He hung them. Held them under water until they drowned. Threw them into the ground and bashed them to death. That's personally -- and shows no respect at all. No, it's probably not as bad as beating and killing some woman...but the women had the choice not to be with the athletes who did that to them....the dogs had no choice. He should never, ever, be allowed to play football again, and more, he ought to have some kind of job in a slaughterhouse, shoveling up guts and blood............and never be allowed to associated with human beings again. That's all I have to say about Michael Vick. Peggy ----- Original Message ----- From: <ELG440@xxxxxxx> > > This was the first post I read, written by Barbara, not Dave.
