Yes yes, you've probably all heard by now...earlier today (if you havent already known) Mike Vick received just 23 months in jail. I think this is bullsh*t and he is serving a very short sentence...just under 2 years. I mean come on. He's a f**kin low-life who had his life and career laid out for him and he gets involved in dogfighting. Just because he is a high paid star athlete does not mean he shoulda gotten away with that short term sentencing. Anyone remember the Martha Stewart and Michael Jackson cases and even OJ....they all get out scot free because they are big news and big stars. This is bullsh*t...I'd say a sentence of 5+ yrs would be sufficient. Who agrees with me?
Is it normal?
and vick still has state charges to face.his career is over and done with.his whole life destroyed over some dogs while we have pedos and murderers back out on the street that will rape and kill someone TODAY.

Bottom line: he knew it was illegal, he knew he was making these animals suffer, and moreover, he didn't have to torture and kill the ones who weren't good "performers." The guy's a punk, through and through. No sympathy from me whatsoever. It's just a shame that one of his fighting dogs didn't just turn on him and tear his throat out, thus saving the taxpayers the time and expense of the trial.
and i think the animals/human thing you relate is about serial killers who have had animal torture,bedwetting,sexual abuse history in their childhood-im not sure fighting dogs or cocks or bulls as an adult means you;ll hurt a human.
I do believe it's possible for many of these sports figures to become nice, civilized folks once they remove the gear, but some of them never do. They live in constant "aggression on" mode, and I think that the sports industry exploits this. This is one of the reasons that steroid abuse has not been more rigorously banned and controlled. They WANT these guys fighting mad much of the time, just like Vick wanted his dogs to be killers.
Come to think of it, with that in mind, I blame Vick's employers to some degree for what happened as well.
if he should get five years... how much time should slaughter house owners get?
considering the amount of animal torture taking place in there.
If he only had taken a knife and killed those dogs himself(by whichever means he finds most profitable) and then eaten them... he would be completely fine.
But nono, since he used another dog for it and then didn't eat the corpse, he gets years in jail.
Double standards.
