I think that it strange, cruel, and somewhat amusing that Michael Vick was running such a large dog fighting underground. The media has been running wild with the story and it certainly only reiterates Vick’s irresponsiblity and disarray (not unlike his younger brother Marcus’ [and here]). 

A particularly grotesque aspect of the operation–which those who engage in the practice of dog fighting justify by ”natural selection”–is how the dogs which underperformed in fights were punished by torture and execution. This detail leads me to wonder whether Mr. Vick believes that $100 million quarterbacks who underperform in the NFL should be punished, too?
