People like that make me sick.
I remember having an argument with this idiot gangbanger I used to know about him fighting his dog. He said he loved his dog "almost like a baby," so I asked him why he'd place his own pet, whom he claimed to love so much, in such a harmful situation.
His argument: "The dog wants to fight. They want to fight. He loves it. He's a pit bull, I'm just lettin' 'im do what he was born and bred to do. Nothing wrong with that, and making a little money off it too. That way we all happy."
I called Chicago Animal Care and Control about it, but they kind of gave me the run-around when I couldn't provide them with the exact address of the place where the dog was being kept (the apartment of some girlfriend of his). Anyway, the guy ended up getting picked up on a drug charge about a week later and he went off to prison for awhile. I have no idea what became of his poor dog after that.
By the way, Michael Vick is a piece of shit.
12The idea that a pit bull (or any dog) was "born to fight" is the most noxious rationalization. And these assholes actually believe it.

13There's clearly enough evidence to go to trial. That said, Vick deserves his day in court.

14Almost all of the rescue dogs in Queens are pit bulls.
Which is why I cannot adopt one, because once they are conditioned to fight, it is really hard to un-condition them.
I had a friend who raised pit bulls, primarily to be guard dogs, but he conditioned them in such a way that they were completely sweet to be around.
The article linked above makes me want to grievously injure Michael Vick for taking part in the gruesome executions of those dogs. He may not actually be human.

Oh no, he's definitely human. We're the only species that breed others to kill. I'd put this shithead in ring with his "students" and see who wins.

17Fuck cockfighting and dogfighting. Anyone who encourages these kinds of activities is a complete waste of human flesh and bone.
This has really gotten my goat. I hope this fuckhead is suspended from the NFL indefinately.

53. In or about March of 2003, PEACE [Vick's buddy], after consulting with VICK about the losing female pit bull's condition, executed the dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal.

Skins Portis, Samuels ridicule dog fighting as crime
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) -- Washington Redskins players Clinton Portis and Chris Samuels defended Michael Vick on Monday by ridiculing the notion that dog fighting is considered a crime.
In an interview with WAVY-TV, Portis said that if the Atlanta Falcons quarterback is charged and convicted of being involved in a dog fighting operation, then authorities would be "putting him behind bars for no reason."
"I don't know if he was fighting dogs or not," Portis said. "But it's his property; it's his dogs. If that's what he wants to do, do it."
Portis said dog fighting is a "prevalent" part of life.
Portis, a native of Laurel, Mississippi, added: "I know a lot of back roads that got a dog fight if you want to go see it. But they're not bothering those people because those people are not big names. I'm sure there's some police got some dogs that are fighting them, some judges got dogs and everything else."
"Politicians," added Samuels, who found it hard to keep from giggling while Portis was talking.
"Presidents," added Portis with a laugh.
Vick has been under investigation since April 25 when police conducting a drug investigation raided the house owned by the quarterback in rural Surry County and found dozens of dogs. They also found items associated with dog fighting, including a "pry bar" used to pry apart a dog's jaws. No charges have been filed.
Dog fighting is a felony in Virginia, but Portis said that if Vick is charged and convicted, "Then I think he got cheated. ... You're putting him behind bars for no reason -- over a dog fight."
"Haven't you seen Animal Planet?" Samuels added with a giggle.
Hours after making light of the possible crime in the television interview, Portis issued a statement late Monday through the Redskins.
"In the recent interview I gave concerning dog fighting, I want to make it clear I do not take part in dog fighting or condone dog fighting in any manner," the statement said.
leaves me absolutely speechless.
