Vick lovin’ dogs?

Maybe Pink can get a date now.

I was never a Pink fan till now…and foolish people who compare cows and such slaughtered for food to dogs hanged drowned and slammed into the ground for “sport” or “fun” well i think those people just found a new level of stupid.

To Stephanie:

Most adults and teenagers know that meat is torture and murder. One of the problems in our movement is our self denial to this fact. A lot of us continue to believe that if people will be more aware then they will change. This is not true in my opinion, we should acknowledge that people will always be selfish and will always look for (and find) some “rationality” to justify their behavior (a case of cognitive dissonance).

I know it sounds arrogant, but most vegans hold personal qualities that have allowed them to become vegan, despite (or because) their own selfishness. It is painful to think about it, but most (not all) non-vegans do not possess these qualities and never will.

If we acknowledge this problem, our strategics might change a little bit. Personally, I don’t have some great ideas how we should change our strategics.

Protesting and boycotting the NFL or the Eagles doesn’t do a damn thing to actually help dogs.

Anyone who cares about dogs should take all that anger and energy and focus it on finding homes for shelter dogs, banning puppymills, and educating youth about the cruelty of dogfighting.

The sad fact is, Americans are conditioned to see some animals as food and others as pets. And it’s hard to move people away from that mindset, especially when old myths (“How do you get your protein?”) spread by animal exploitation industriers die hard.

It’s easier to get people outraged over what this spoiled athlete did to dogs–although I understand he’s not the only professional athlete involved in a dog fighting ring–than it is to care about what megacorporations have wage slaves do to chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, and other animals raised for food.

I also hope that the first time Vick steps on the football field (he was signed as a backup), if that ever happens, he meets a defense with dog lovers who are pissed as hell and will take a 15-yard penalty to express their outrage.

Wow, I cannot get over how many people are throwing around palliative cliches’ like “yada yada without sin cast the first stone…” in defense of this douchebag. Look folks, I’ve NEVER drowned or electrocuted a dog before in my life, AND, ANNND I’ve also never enjoyed or benefited from the fighting of dogs in any way, shape or form so from where I’m sitting I, and anyone else who’s managed to avoid these no doubt challenging to avoid pastimes, have every single right to cast the hell outta some stones. Right at Mr. Vick’s “Gosh I Miss My Old Pre-Jail Sized Paycheck” Face.

“Hate is a very strong word and should be used carefully!”

What that guy did to those poor animals is much ‘stronger’!

Oh, and lose the “animal rights activists care more about animals than children” attitude. We don’t hurt anyone (all life is sacred to us) and personally I’ve never heard of a veg*an child molester.

As far as I know, all convicted child molesters are actually animal eaters… Interesting isn’t it?

In case you don’t know, the FBI did a study on the most dangerous criminals and they concluded that most of them had first abused, tortured and killed animals.

Also, to those who mention the “who without sin cast the first stone” mumbo jumbo from the bible, maybe you should read the 10 commandments again. Are you familiar with the one that says “Thou shall not kill”?
Does it specify “kill” what? NO! Is it humans, animals or both humans and animals? Isn’t it funny that a perfect god would create such an ambiguous commandment? Or maybe what it means is that we shouldn’t kill, period! Than all non-veg*an christians would be a bunch of hypocrites wouldn’t they?

“A human life is greater than an animal!”

Yeah right! Why? Because the bible says so? Or because people have been indoctrinated their entire lives to believe that? Open your eyes!!

Watch ‘Earthlings’, ‘The Cove’, ‘Food Inc.’ and you’ll see the truth about your beloved humans!!

I could not have said it better myself. while it may be unfortunate that innocent dogs had to die in such an inhumane way, there are much worse things going on in the world. Who the heck is Pink anyways? A washed up talentless joke. secondly, my wife is a vegan but mainly because the thought of eating flesh grosses her out. But even she understands thats why a lot of animals are on this big rock we call earth. not only to feed us as people, but also all the other species on the planet. But my favorite comment you made was the one about reading a Bible. all I will say about that is over the years this country has strayed farther and farther away from it’s religious beliefs. for example Obama’s idea to have the “in God we trust” removed from our currency. And look where are country is headed.

that was childish of pink, everyone is entitled to an opinion but sometimes, you need to stfu. he did his time, let him go back to work. Brandy killed someone while driving, she still has a car, Lindsay had how many drunk driving incidents, no one stripped…she still manages to avoid jail.

Ben Roethlisberger raped a girl a month ago. You dont even hear that, why? because the hotel covered it up. google it.

Speak on that.

Leave the man alone. he did what he did, paid for it, now on his way to recovery.
