And you thought this was "hunting"? And these people were/are still your friends?

That wasn't hunting - and you had a moral imperative to intervene - but I guess you didn't "get" that.

Animal torture apparently is not something you have a problem with.

Sad.

Yeah whatever, I was all of grade school age then. And no they are not my friends anymore, sadly as we got to high school the individual whom I was talking about turned into a racist overnight and didnt seem to want to hang with a black kid anymore.

I love it when stories "evolve" in the telling when someone is called on it.

One of my best friends family growing up had a large amount of acerage in central GA and I would accompany him and his family on hunting trips a least two times a year back in the day
Again - those weren't "hunting" trips.

From your reply - I can see that you still don't get it.

LOL, Did I not say back in my school days, plus Im only 25, of course back in the day would be when I was kid. The simple fact that you called dogs domesticated animals but yet you didn't know that most of your daily diet involves domesticated animals shows you obviously dont get it

I do look at hunting for any reason other than food the same way as the dog fighting...hence I won't go hunting myself or watch hunting shows.

Do we eat dogs in this county? No. I agree and support Vick but please don't make the argument that we kill cows and pigs so what he did was okay. Also I have seen Cows slaughtered and none of them were drowned or hung.

Another things that is curious to me is your "friends" putting M-80 on deers necks. I have been deer hunting only once but have seen deer in the forest. Each time they would run at the slightest noise or movement towards them. So it's some what amazing that you were able to walk up to one, strap M-80s on it and it stood there.

Co-sign. Black Atlanta will always support Vick. Love for White players too; but love for Vick because he's a brother and because we know that he's been judged by hypocritical moral standards.

Default Let him play

I for one am a Redskin fan and don't like the Eagles but I wish Vick the best of luck. What he did was wrong, and frankly just plain strange. I for one would get no enjoyment out of attending a dog fight. However, I wanted the Redskins to sign him, and believe in second chances. Everyone here bashing him has problems and sins just like he does. People saying there are still morals and it is immoral to sign him, I disagree. It is wrong to black list all people who make poor judgement calls. Give him a chance. Also, I don't get the point about Eagles fans being hypocrites. Sure, if the Cowboys signed him the Eagles fans would jeer and taunt him, but thats true with every player. Do you think if McNabb played for the Cowboys that Eagles fans would love him? Of course not. Thats just sports. You root for your players and not the other teams.
