Well, guess there are gonna be a whole bunch of rural kids locked up as felony perp’s for fighting ole Fido. As a dog lover and owner for all of my life, I do not condone being cruel to animals. “However”, dogs as with other domestic animals, are private property. As such, the owner has a right to kill these animals. Now, electrocution, drowning, banging a dog’s head against a concrete wall does seem somewhat excessive. But, is this actually against the law? Those of us who were raised on farms and ranches are well aware of what happens to dogs that run cattle,especially those that are pregnant, chase milk cows, kill chickens, eat eggs, etc, etc. The answer for you city dwellers is shot dead in the head. Actually, when we cut to the chase on Vick's crime(s), the only thing he is guilty of is the gambling component.

He is guilty of breaking a law that is on the books as a felony-dog fighting.

He is guilty of breaking God's moral law regarding cruelty to animals.

The righteous man regardeth the life of his beast.(Pro.12:7)

So laws that punish cruelty to animals are just laws based on Biblical principle.

And dont' give me 'I wouldn't do that but he has a right to' nonsense.

If you condone that wickedness you are just as guilty as he is.

My, my... guess I “really” pushed this one’s buttons! Heh,heh.... Wonder what the reaction would be if it were discovered that Vick had been giving abortions to his pregnant dogs. “That” would probably be ok...
