Vick is Sick

If you haven't heard about the NFL, Michael Vick, and what I suspect is another example of roid-rage and glorification of an illeterate athlete, see CNN's take on it here.

I am not a particular champion for animal rights. I do believe we all have our spot in the food chain, and most African lions staring me down would probably agree with me. However, I am against abuse. Keeping an animal in deplorable conditions and priming them for fighting and death is a horrendous abuse of "power".

Can you imagine keeping a person in a small pen, and breeding them only to turn a profit, for your own glory. If, for example, that person wasn't financially viable or you thought they were dangerous; your options included murder; and a humane death isn't even a question for your sick little mind. Their pain and suffereing is of no consequence. There is no value assigned to these lives because "we are above them". These unwilling participants are simply "savage animals". Oh, yeah, Michael Vick, that was called SLAVERY. I guess he doesn't have a beef with that particular entepreneurship in American history either, huh? Well, it was a long time ago..... Let's just forget about it.
