changed my mind about michael vick, slap on wrist only
I think michael vick should get slap on wrist at most.
why? http://www.nypost.com/seven/04022007/new..._dan_mangan.htm [ QUOTE ] April 2, 2007 -- Judith Giuliani once demonstrated surgical products for a controversial medical-supply company that used dogs - which were later killed - in operations whose only purpose was to sell equipment to doctors, The Post has learned. "It was a horribly cruel, outrageous program," Friends of Animals President Priscilla Feral said about the demonstrations of medical staplers on dogs conducted by U.S. Surgical Corp. employees during Giuliani's tenure there in the late 1970s. Feral said U.S. Surgical's demonstrations on hundreds of dogs each year through the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s were done to boost sales, not for medical re search or testing. [/ QUOTE ] alternately I think these ceo's and workers should do jail time. in the interest of the fair application of the law.

Michael Vick was arrested for dogfighting and gambling, not poor treatment of dogs or whatever.
But yeah, none of these people should be punished. It's just dogs.

[/ QUOTE ] that's my point, any apology you make for the lab you can make for vick. in my view the fact that the lab is licensed makes what they do even worse, kinda like nazi death camps are worse than a serial killer.

Re: changed my mind about michael vick, slap on wrist only
So, how do you suggest that vascular surgical staples are tested and demonstrated? How are surgeons supposed learn how to use them and gain confidence in them?
Dogs were anesthetized and operated on to demonstrate the staples. Arteries were cut and then stapled back together to show the effectiveness of the staples. Blood flow seems necessary for this. The dogs were euthanised after the procedure. I assume, because far more cuts/repairs were made than the dogs could feesibly heal from. This was not some Mad Doctor, with a staple gun, stapling live dogs to the floor for his amusement. This is not even close to the same thing as fighting/torturing dogs.
