Questions for those who think Vick is horrible for dogfighting

[Gritz]

The hunting and/or fishing analogy is one that has been tried over and over again on the other message board several times.

I used to work for a veterinarian in rural Tennessee when I was in high school. We had several dogs brought in that were being used in an organized dog fighting ring. (The perpetrators of this illegal activity were uneducated, rural white people.....so this crime is committed by all races.)

The most vicious wounds were almost always in the neck area. Dogs know that is their opponent's most vulnerable area. The dogs we could save had to have multiple flexible tube shunts put into their throats to facilitate drainage and try to prevent infection from killing them. We couldn't save all of them.

Dogs were domesticated by man thousands of years ago. Since that domestication dogs have depended upon man for their survival. When dogs are abused and killed for man's profit and entertainment it is a violation of this trust and domestication started by man. This is an obvious and glaring difference that should be clear by now to the "what's the difference between dog fighting and hunting?" crowd.

If you can't see the difference now you either don't want to or you just aren't too intelligent.
