Entry 1

My post this week I’m going to discuss this issue that has been bothering me since the beginning action. My issue is with the whole Michael Vick situation and how it affected me which I am a huge fan of. First for those who don’t know who Michael Vick is he’s a NFL quarterback who had been sent to prison for bankrolling a dog fighting ring. My position on this situation is not backing him for what he did but disagreeing with the severe punishment he received from the law. The sentence was 23 months in prison and he lost his starting quarterback job in the NFL also several endorsements leading up to millions he lost. My expression to all of that is wow. I’m not in support for what he did; he even admitted it that it was a mistake. Still all and all they (the federal law) brought down heavy heat on him. The argument I will make to those who don’t see my point is the differences in what we call animal cruelty. The law states that it is bad to fight pit bulls which are dogs, but then turn around and shoot deer and birds and then call that a sport. If I’m not mistaken I believe that is animal cruelty as well. Honestly just think about that for a second. What’s the difference between letting dogs fight which that’s the nature of the certain dog. Pit bulls are natural fighters, but then take a shot gun prey on innocent animals that can’t defend themselves and shoot them dead. Now I’m no rocket scientist but that seems mighty odd to me.
