Why is everyone upset? He' served his time for tax ****, nothing for animal abuse, so he's obviously "did his time"
He's rehabilitated, he even does speaking engagements for things like PETA. Obviously an animal lover.
and people change. He was just a product of his up bringing. How was he to really know that hooking dogs up to marine batteries and throwing them in to metal sided pools of water was wrong? It's not like a person doing that would even enjoy the act of killing underperforming dogs anyway.
People that have their dogs heads beaten into the ground for not fighting hard enough can obviously change and learn to love and respect the animals they formerly treated worse than bugs.
It's a good thing he could run fast and make a lot of people money, or he'd still be sitting in jail.
Ill paraphrase what Iv been saying all along:
There is something... very wrong... with his hardwiring. The ability to torture and murder another living being, not once, and not out of anger, but many times, in "cold blood"... well this is a scary thing. *I* am distressed when I step on my dogs TOE. I am SORRY. I feel BAD. I EMPATHIZE with their momentary pain that *I* caused and I dont enjoy it and try very hard not to do it again. The kind of brain that can cause another being pain for no reason, and then cause so much pain that the living, thinking, feeling being DIES, is not a healthy or sane brain.
Vick has not magically changed. His wiring has not magically changed. The kind of person that CAN hurt another being so much that they DIE, while they struggle for their own life, he is still that person. His brain is still capable of that behavior.
This is not a person that should have control over another beings life. Ever.
