Well said, Dawn. I agree.

Awhile ago I received a story about a dog named Ogee... Ogee was an AmStaff puppy who had the unfortunate luck to be too good tempered for the fight ring. At 4 months old he was staked out and used as a bait dog by a bunch of subhuman barbarians. The bite of the attacking pitbull literally removed and crushed half of Ogee's skull. Four.. months.. old. Now...close your eyes and picture that this is a puppy that YOU BRED...A fuzzy, cute little GSD all smiles and wiggles...who trusted you when you harnessed him to that stake...and trusted you still when you opened the gate to turn the fighting dog loose on him. I honestly do not remember the story of how Ogee survived this nightmare, but survive he did...grotesquely deformed....still full of smiles and wiggles. He was removed from his hell on earth and spent the last of his days with a family who lavished him with love and attention. Anyone...ANYONE...who pits one animal against another for entertainment does not deserve his or her freedom EVER...let alone the ability to be gainfully employed. The behavior that they have perpetrated on a defenseless animal is indicative of their lack of character and moral compass. Micheal Vick's dogs had no choice in the outcome of their lives. We will never know the torture that they may have endured before being brutally slaughtered by him or his henchmen when their fighting days were over. We would never allow a prisoner to be treated thusly....witness the hue and cry over the waterboarding at Gitmo....and yet, we do so little to protect those who have NO VOICE to protest their pain. A conviction of dog fighting should carry with it a sentence conducive to the amount of pain and horror that the predator inflicted on his prey....my opinion is life behind bars...or...turn him over to a pack of hungry hyenas so he will end his days the same as his fighting dogs did..screaming.

Sorry Terry, I can not agree with you, he has plenty of money and does not need to work. To satisfy his parole he can do many things that will pass for work. A second chance sure but not in the NFL. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> One of the things a parolee must do is earn a living. They must prove that they can earn a living in a lawful way. ............................................................................ .....................................
