Zoo crew for Vick
Michael Vick doesn’t need to go to prison — at least not for very long. Instead, his punishment for his dogfighting role should be that he must work in a zoo cleaning up after the animals for a couple of years. Also, his fine should be substantial enough that it could be distributed to nonprofit animal shelters! Now that punishment would mean something!

Maybe he could clean up behind the elephants in parades for a few decades.
Posted by not here on September 4, 2007 03:20 AMAmazeing Mike Vick is pursecuted night and day over dog fighting. Yet on a daily basis we have people murdered and raped, maimed by drunk drivers. The assailants in these crimes either flee back south across the boarder or given a slap on the wrist and let go.
The question asked is which do we value more, human or animal life?
Posted by on September 4, 2007 05:24 AMVick's doggie-bags vs. Bush's body-bags. A sucker is born every minute. What plans can you suggest for war-criminals like Bush, Rice, Cheney, Powell, Lott, DeLay, and Hastert? They should be paraded in front of an international court (Hitler style) for war crimes, which inlude WMD lies, unleashing Rx drugged troops on unsuspecting Iraqi citizens, and using chemical weapons (white phosphrous) on Sunnis/Shias, in their known residential neighborhoods. The circle is now complete, because Saddam used chemical weapons on Kurds.
Also Bush is guilty of criminal negligence resulting 3K 9/11 deaths and 1500 black folks GOP water-boarded in NOLA-Katrina. The Iraqis got justice for our troops who murdered their country-men. The white army officers who allowed NOLAs pumping and dewatering system to corrode, got medals for shirking for their sworn duties and dereliction of those duties. They have all evaded court martials. Heck, maybe Obama isn't black ENUFF.

On a personnel aside - You really are full of hate.
Posted by F on September 4, 2007 12:17 PMI agree his fine should be distributed to animal rescue causes, but I wouldn't let him near any animals as part of his sentence. Would you suggest a convicted child molester volunteer at an orphanage???
40 mules, I am sorry that it seems to you a racial injustice Michael Vick is being punished for dogfighting. I take it that, your political beliefs aside, you feel that dogfighting and drowning and executing dogs shouldn't be illegal?
Posted by mytwosense on September 5, 2007 03:06 PM5:24 am, just because people are outraged over animals being abused doesn't mean they don't value both human and animal life.
On the other hand, your comments make it seem like you only value human life.
