lol dont be all high and might about vick. you know how many animals a year are killed legally in much more brutal ways? look up animal farms for milk, how cows are treated, look up hunting, look up how they treat race horses. most animals that die legally suffer much worse fates then death. michael vick is being made into an example, much like martha stewart was. what he did wasn't that bad when compared with all the legal ways that animals are killed each year. besides in other cultures and countries dog fighting and other animal fighting is not only legal but a big sport, just because we say its wrong does that make it wrong? and just because they do it does that make it right? thats for the individual and the dominant culture to decide, and unfortunately it has decided that michael vick is some sort of evil creature, when in fact he was doing nothing more then taking part in a popular yet cruel sport, there are many other forms of these sports, do you think hunting is ok? chasing after animals, wounding them, chasing after them until they cant run anymore, and then finishing them off? is that humane?
not only that, but michael vick is also the victim of amerikkka, and i dont mean to cry racism here but cmon, would peyton manning be treated this way if he were caught doing the same thing? the media played to all the suburban middle class white fears, of a big scary black guy coming to their house and killing their little lapdogs. the media portrays michael vick as some sort of inhumane monster, when in fact what he was doing was not very different then hunting. the media for years and years have loved to portray black men as frightening monstrous violent public enemies, and this isnt very different.
listen to this audio message by mumia abu jamal, its quite enlightening.

michael vick rant is done lol. i just hate it when people talk about michael vick in some evil way, they just buy into the media's portrayal without actually thinking about society and if it really is much worse then the things they think are good.
anyway...........venonat has been long awaited, will look forward to it
