Good points Horfin.
I too am no hunter, nor do i really agree with it in most aspects (how anyone could call hunting a "sport" is completely rediculous IMO), but I do understand that controlling the population of some animals (especially deer) is necessary. I also agree with the points that hunters don't torture the animals that they hunt, and that most hunters will end up either eating the meat, or selling it to someone who will. In addition, they certainly don't train 2 deer to fight each other before torturing and killing them pointlessly in the most cruel means possible.
These dogs were obviously tortured, and I doubt anyone ate their meat either (although I guess you never know with these sick fucks). Plus the dog population can be controlled by spaying/neutering. No need to kill the ones that already exist as if they're gonna reproduce endlessly with no way to control it like wild animals would. So comparing these acts to hunting holds zero water.
Furthermore, no one (that I know of) has pet deer, nor are deer able to be affectionate towards humans like dogs (again, not that I'm aware of). These dogs all probably could have been good pets for someone who wasn't a complete waste of life like Vick and his fellow defendants, but they never got the chance.
Vick is just a piece of shit, as are the rest of his homies who were in on this shit. I hope he rots in federal prison for the max time allowed....and how anyone could throw the race card into this is just ridiculous. I personally think his punishment should be being put in a room with about 5 or 10 rabid pitbulls and let them eat him....along with the rest of the buffoons that were involved in those completely inhumane acts. But no, he'll probably either get off completely, or with some ridiculous sentence including a fine, community service, and time in a half way house or something. Hell if I know, but if there's any justice, he'll be put in general population in a federal prison where anyone else who did the same thing would be put. Then he can use his super running and eluding skills dodging "Big Ed" in the shower.
