Death and the Dogs Have you read the news about Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick being indicted for staging illegal dogfights? It's truly horrific—and if Vick is guilty, he should be permanently banned from football.

Let me quote from the AP story:

The operation was named "Bad Newz Kennels," according to the indictment, and the dogs were housed, trained, and fought at a property owned by Vick in Surry County, Va.

...Vick and the others are accused of "knowingly sponsoring and exhibiting an animal fighting venture" and conducting a business enterprise involving gambling, as well as buying, transporting, and receiving dogs for the purposes of an animal-fighting venture.

About eight young dogs were put to death at the Surry County home after they were found not ready to fight in April 2007, the indictment said. They were killed "by hanging, drowning and/or slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."

What is wrong with people?
