Is Dogfighting As Bad As Hunting In Atlanta?
Category: In Your Face
I am not a big fan of hunters who sit in tree stands and wait for some unfortunate deer to wander into telescope range. But, my distaste for hunting is nothing compared to my absolute disgust at the thought of staged dogfighting and the related atrocities which have been revealed by the charges against Michael Vick. Apparently, some Vick supporters in the Atlanta area think hunting and dogfighting are equally bad. I worry about the hunting they may have seen.
NAACP Urges NFL to Let Vick Play Again
A civil rights organization says Michael Vick should be allowed to return to the NFL, preferably the Atlanta Falcons, after serving his sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation."As a society, we should aid in his rehabilitation and welcome a new Michael Vick back into the community without a permanent loss of his career in football," said R.L. White, president of the NAACP's Atlanta chapter. "We further ask the NFL, Falcons, and the sponsors not to permanently ban Mr. Vick from his ability to bring hours of enjoyment to fans all over this country."
White said the Falcons quarterback is a human being who has made a mistake and should be allowed to prove that he has learned from that mistake.
White said he regretted that the plea deal will mean all the facts of the case might never be known.
"Some have said things to save their own necks," White said. "Michael Vick has received more negative press than if he had killed a human being."
White said he does not support dogfighting and that he considers it as bad as hunting.
