Although I'm not a hunter I believe that hunting is a valid means of wildlife population management.

Of course, Mother Nature has her own means of over-population control but it's hardly humane.

Disease and starvation take longer to accomplish things than a well aimed bullet.

I seriously would have blown his ass away if he messed with my cat.

Because you don't know any men.

I was being sarcastic. I'm a somewhat reich-wing male and have always had cats.

My wife and I have two now.

Great pets, independent and low maintenance.

Hunting and fishing is certainly a whole lot different than torturing and killing pets.

It helps a wild animal to keep it's instincts, it's fear of man, and it helps their populations to weed out the slower.

A domesticated animal that has it's instincts and fear bred out of it, that is dependent on man, that is living in the house shouldn't be hunted.

I don't hunt or fish but knew people who did. I never knew anyone though who tortured the animals or fish. Since these psychopaths get away with torturing and killing pets, there is no deterrent. Nothing to stop them.

At least his girlfriend, if she has some long sticks, can make 4 dust mops! May not be all bad.

That's what kills me about all the Vick supporters and their "he's paid his dues" rhetoric. They don't seem to "get" that someone who systematically tortures animals over a period of YEARS, and LAUGHS while doing it, is not someone who is "cured" by two years in jail. This is the behavior of a psychopath--completely lacking in empathy, filled with rage, and the need to dominate the helpless. Michael Vick will not stop torturing animals, any more than a pedophile will stop stalking children or a serial rapist will stop assaulting women. In fact, the probability of his escalating to violence against a human is actually quite high.

Let's just see how this plays out before branding Michael Vick some physcho animal molester.

I think the girlfriend must be implicated in this somehow. What do you think?

I feel bad for the cats, but what are we going to do? Spend tens of thousands of tax payer dollars to lock him up for years? Just fine him and be done with it if a psychologist thinks he is suitable for human co-habitability. If he is to dangerous for people to be around, well then lock him up.

I'm tired of paying for incarcerations of people for crimes that don't hurt any people.
