This is a travesty to human life, absolutely--beyond a travesty.

But, please don't suggest the answer is to diminish the horror of Vick's actions towards animals.

I really don't care what we do with our beast. We eat them, we use them for medical research and some of us fight them. What is the damn difference?

Plaxico Burress. Bloomberg knows how to make examples out of scapegoats.

cruel things to dogs, besides resulting in death.

A jury has found that GZ killed someone in self defense. That's not a crime.

A surprise, maybe. But there is evidence to support it. Proving a crime has a high bar. Beyond a reasonable doubt is a tough burden.
