A local radio meathead here actually said that what Vick was accused of was way worse than what Kobe was accused of.

WTF.

I think it's worse to rape one woman than to torture and kill all the dogs on earth.

Vick is a scumbag if he ran a dogfighting ring, but he's far less of a scumbag than someone like, say, Warren Moon, who beat the living [censored] out of his wife to the point that his child said 'my daddy is killing my mommy' to the 911 operator. Moon is in the Hall of Fame, Vick's career is over.

Something's not right here.

agreed completely. I also agree with the OP and I find the arbitrary caring for certain animals to be ridiculous. Dog fighting is way down on my list of horrible things a person could do, and if it were up to me I wouldn't even put people in prison for it.

someone made a similar analogy about the Detroit Red Wings' fans' practice of throwing octopi(sp?) on the ice after a goal....imagine for a second that they threw dead kittens on the ice. How do you think people would react to that? But because octopi aren't cute and cuddly we don't care.

He allegedly hung, electrocuted and drowned poorly performing dogs. He didn't just show up at a dog fight and make some bets.
