...doesn't seem much different to what Mike Vick and his gang did....well...except that dog racing is legal, while dog fighting is not.
Ummm, yes, of course. Greyhound killers need to be brought to justice.
Score, what is your angle here? You're trying to find some bit of blatant animal cruelty that I actually support, so you can go "AHA!".
If you wonder why people aren't outraged at Leonard Little/Greyhound racing/other stuff but are outraged at Vick: is it really so hard to understand? He's front and center
right now. And yes, let me be honest and admit that my outrage at Vick
will go away in due time. I'm not going to hang on to it forever.
People just don't have time and energy to stay outraged at every blessed bit of injustice out there. Even Cindy Sheehan -- who was outraged for her own son -- eventually ran out steam. Eventually, you just have to get back to living in the here and now.
So for you to throw out "Leonard Little!", "Dog Racing!", etc. just makes no sense. In your eyes, people had to have righteous indignation to all those other things before they have the right to be outraged at Vick? If so, I'm sorry to say that I think that's ridiculous. Your heart may be in the right place, but I don't think your take is at all well-reasoned.
