Remember how Michael Vick went to jail for dogfighting?

But when 350 animals get killed for having a nonlethal illness that the shelter was too cheap to treat, nothing happens?

All it takes is time and money to solve the problem. Of course, you plan to donate both, rather then whine. Right?

But even attempting to compare this to that actions of Vick, puts you in a class of human even lower then him.

(but if you think he is a tip top wonderful human being who was wrongly punished...................then everything is wonderful)

At an absolute minimum, this piece of crap should be banned from the game and rotting in a back alley somewhere.

Hopefully the next time Vicks needs a knee or shoulder operation, the doctors and nurses in the operating room will know what a sociopath he is, and have some (untraceable) tricks up their sleeves.

This guy can hopefully look forward to some serious Karma.

That's because he was a celebrity, and it was easy to get people outraged over the obvious mistreatment of dogs in a dog fighting ring. With this case, there is no glitz, no glamor, no sexy celebrity to point to, and no simple explanation.

The animal shelter administrators will just say they did not intend for this to happen, and people will feel sorry for them. With Vick, he meant to expose his dogs to the inhumane dog fighting, and people can understand that and be outraged, all within a 15 second news segment.
