    Great cause and I may support it BUT, giving this piece of $#it called Michael Vick any media attention, in any way, turns my stomach. He's a flagrant violator of not only local laws, but the laws of human kindness; he abused, tortured, and brutalized his dogs. Killed the "non-performers" in horrific ways, and he now stands to make hundreds of thousands of dollars not only as a player, but a roll model for our kids. DISGUSTING!!! The NFL is supporting this a$$hole by providing him a platform and a job. DISGUSTING!!! Shame on the NFL. Ditto, Ditto, Ditto..

    I find it disturbing that the author has such little value for life and would write an article defending abuse. No living thing should be beaten and tortured and a person who values life so little that they would do so does represent a possible harm to humans. A person who is willing to justify such behavior because "it was only property" is also scary. His comparison to deer hunting is highly flawed since it is not the hunter's intent to cause pain and torture, they strive for a clean kill and the purpose is to increase the health of the population by decreasing numbers to what the land can support since there are no longer enough natural predators to do the job. People who torture and abuse wildlife are just as wrong as those who do it to domesticated animals. The absolute worst thing about this article though is that the editor of the paper thought that it was an appropriate "sports" article. That is the section of the paper that it was published in.

    Sigh … again it all goes to funding or lack there of probably. Politics. @lvoss: I will again say that most animal control departments are vastly understaffed and therefore enforcement of the county's various animal related laws is complaint driven. They just do not have the staff to properly enforce the laws currently on the books. In most counties, they would probably find a huge decrease in the number of shelter dogs if they could actually enforce the laws currently in place, especially the leash law. Many of the unwanted puppies result from breedings that happen while dogs are roaming offleash. Until animal control can enforce the laws currently in place there is no reason for new laws, they won't make any difference.
