Hey, I love dogs as much as anyone (I really do), but my time of employment at animal control has left me without any idealism in this area of debate.
When it comes to the Vick scumbag I guess I just think that multiple years in a federal prison for doing the things I did every day as an animal control employee in a somewhat more cruel manner seems harsh. At least the fighting dogs got to live an adventerous life first, the ones I sent to the freezer only sat in cages waiting for the needle.
I killed dozens of dogs on a daily basis. It was part of my job. I hated it, but they were dogs, not people. You can't treat dogs as if their lives are equal to ours or you get into a weird PETA mindset and daily life becomes shocking to the conscience. I just don't have that much anger and indignation left in me to waste it on animals.
