But as for the crime itself, it didn't bother me.

How can torturing, drowning and electrocuting animals not bother!? you must be as sick as vick.

Maybe I am. Or maybe, to me, they are just dogs. What bothered me was the stupidity on his part.

Just Dogs? Dogs are indeed bred to be man's best friend. They are bred to love you as much as is genetically possible. They select for that. Try getting a fkn wolf to come to you. You'll see a huge difference. DOGS ARE BRED TO LOVE PEOPLE (even the dogs that people breed to fight.) Try getting any other killer animal to love humans. It's hard, because they haven't been bred for that. He didn't go out and kill something that had no natural affection for him(cows, deer etc.) He killed dogs that naturally liked him. Dogs usually like people, and especially the ones that feed them. They simply aren't bred for us to kill. They are domesticated animals. I'm not saying it'd be great if he killed wolves, but at least he wouldn't be killing something bred to be his friend. Something bred to be as much like people as can be selected for. They are very smart. They reason. They show affection. They protect their people. They are bred to love (and protect) people. They aren't bred for sick people to get their rocks off watching them suffer.

funny, i read in the same thread that people are elevating humans above dogs-now, they're 'just' dogs. either way, vick is a convicted felon. i'd imagine if a convicted felon came in to just about anyone on here's job and asked for an application, the thought about a 'second chance' wouldn't apply...

That didn't say that it was ok. I never said that. I only said that not everyone feels the same way them. Same as a horse can break down and not everyone is going to be in tears but a horse lover might be. I just think that dog lovers have every right to be outraged at what he did and those of us that don't care about them don't have a right to say they shouldn't be. But it goes both ways.

I dont think it takes a dog lover to be disgusted over what Vick did. I'm not a dog lover and the guy makes me cringe. Hes obviously a sick person and I doubt is any better now. I dont really think hes that remorseful over what he did to many living creatures, I think hes more remorseful over the fact he got nabbed and had to throw away 2 years of doing what he loves to do, earning multi millions in the process.

As far as being able to play, well in my opinion he should. A guy like this is probably better off being able to work and be distracted. Its only football, nothing but entertainment. No different to me than making movies and how many actors/actresses would we have left to make movies if their jobs were taken away from doing hideous things? Its not like this guy is a jockey or a Doctor, where what he does so adamantly affects others. Hes only a football player.

I guarantee you one thing. Someone that can kill dogs that way can stomach doing the same to people. That's the biggest part of this that gets swept under the rug. Yes, he feels badly about getting caught, and embarrassing himself (and a lot of people.) He has learned (from others) that this is not acceptable. When he was doing it, the many sounds of suffering that he would of been hearing? O.K., most people would want to (naturally) avoid those. We didn't have to be taught to avoid this. We would be disgusted by it. You have to ask yourself who would like these sounds? Killers like these sounds. Believe me, if he liked that, he would like the sounds of suffering from humans, too. So, just remember this man is not right inside. I'm sure he wishes he was, but he isn't. There is nothing "natural" inside of him telling him that killing dogs or people is disgusting. He has had to learn that it's wrong. It didn't come this way. It's an add-on. The reason many of his fellow players are so happy to welcome him back is (quite honestly) they have the same problem (inside of them.)

Scuds, you have many great points here. Its fairly common knowledge that many serial killers start out killing animals first. Many of these guys who get caught turn out to have had animal abuse/slaughter in their past as children and young adulthood.

Now, not saying most kids/adults who grow up or start out abusing animals go on to humans...but doesnt it make just a little sense that people that are capable (and take pleasure in it) of killing animals for the fun/enjoyment of it are a bit more likely to be able to actual kill a human being?

The NFL is a good place for a guy like Vick. If he couldnt make a living slinging a football, he would be forced to find other ways to do it, and they could be worrisome for others. Keep in in there. Who knows, maybe one of these defensive linemen may turn out to be a dog lover and want to take out Vick. That would be...
