never have i seen a man pay such a steep price for a crime, serve his sentence and continue to be hounded by the public. every day in this country people are arrested for dog fighting and animal cruelty, vick had more to lose than your average hillbilly, with a shitty farm sitting on some acreage. vick lost pretty much everything, there are thousands of people who make a living off of game dogs, when they get charged they lose very little in terms of money, property and freedom. i would put money down that vick has learned the hard way not to abuse animals and pit them against each other, however , the majority of low profile and often impoverished dog fighters learn nothing after being in county jail for 30 days(vick went to federal prison) they rarely lose their property, the fines are minimal. who poses a greater threat to animals in the future mike vick? i think not
Seeing as how most people who wind up in prison on felony charges would " lose everything", Vick should actually consider himself among the luckiest people on the planet. I know I sure as hell wouldnt have my job to go back to had I served time in prison, its actually a condition of my employment that I dont commit a felony and if I do, its cause for immediate termination. Not only is this worthless fuckbag allowed back into his former job, he's actually going to make millions doing it. So as far as him losing everything, he's going to come out of this a hundred times better than the average Joe Blow who did 18 months in the slam. Wish I could be a fly on the wall though , when he has to explain to his daughters why they can't have a dog. " You see sweetheart, even though daddy had millions of dollars and could have anything he wanted, he chose to spend his free time putting one dog in a ring against the other in the hopes that the dog daddy had would kill the other one. In the case that daddys dog lost, daddy himself would pick the dog up way over his head ( cuz daddys sooo strong and tough) then slam the dog onto the ground many times until daddy killed the dog. Or her would hold the dog underwater until it drowned, or on special occasions, he would electrocute the dog.So thats why we cant have a puppy, daddy just cant be trusted not to hurt it".
