Well done PETA for fighting animal abuse, here in Ireland our country is also rampened with dog fighting! We're working really hard to stamp it out also.

Well done again,

Glad you guys haven't forgotten this...

I live in the STL metro area and guess who is in town this Sunday playing our beloved St. Louis Rams?

The Atlanta Falcons!

Unfortunately I will be out of town and am coming home Sunday but won't make it home in time for the noon-time game.

Or I would be there wearing my "Circle Slash 7" shirt from PETA hanging around the Falcons bench side...just as a reminder to the boys of course.

The fact of the matter is these dogs aren't born to kill, they're forced to. I will never understand what provokes an individual to cause such useless suffering to animals. Bordem, perhaps...well go try out humans for your games and leave the animals to choose theirs!

Posted by: Carla | November 28, 2007 02:29 PM

In some parts of the country, it is local AUTHORITIES who are in the dog fighting business- mayors, merchants, teachers, sheriffs, cops.

They just won't investigate or arrest because they are personally involved, or family members are.

Corruption is a big issue with dog fighting.

I know an animal control officer who wanted to initiate a dog fighting ivestigation, and when the local sheriff got wind of that, he made a personal call warning the ACO to shut down investigation and let it go.

It's a dirty business.

And then there are the "pulling dog" or "working dog" breeders. Sounds ok? Wrong. Many are breeding for fighting, and they sell stock to the dog fighters under the illusion that they are running honest businesses. They'll go on forever about how they "love" their dogs, but this is cold, hard cash in a very underregulated industry.

Please watch the HBO Docuementary DEALING DOGS it is HORRIBLE. And this man is still dealing dogs go after some like the DRUG COMPANIES WHO ARE PAYING FOR ANIMAL CRUEALTY. This guy is in Arkansas, why do you not go after him. What waste does your organization only went after Vick because it was public. Can any member tell me anything about the guy in ARKANSAS? No.

Not about artillery, firearms. Its not neccesarily a bad thing though, its like history. No, not silent Hill, but Call of Duty, Half-Life, Halo, Battlefield 1942, etc. Yet if u meet me, I am a very sane individual, like other gamers.

(btw, In Silent Hill, the name of the firearm is never mentioned)

Posted by: Caboose (Combine Slayer) | November 30, 2007 06:26 AM

PETA WOULD MUCH RATHER FIGHT FOR THE LIVES OF DOGS THAN HUMAN BEINGS!!!!(ESPECIALLY BLACK OR BROWN PEOPLE) IF ALL DOGFIGHTERS DERSERVE TO BE PROSECUTED....WHY DO WE ONLY HEAR ABOUT VICK?? IT DOESN'T TAKE DAMN NEAR 1MIL. TO TAKE CARE OF DOGS!!!!! YOU CANNOT REHABILITATE A DOG THAT HAS BEEN TRAINED TO FIGHT SO TO SPEAK. PITBULLS ARE A NATURALLY DANGEROUS AND AGGRESSIVE BREED ANYWAY AND IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TO MAKE THEM ANGRY. THE ENTIRE BREED SHOULD BE DONE AWAY WITH! THIS ORGANIZATION SHOULD BE PUT UNDER INVESTIGATION!!!! THIS ENTIRE SITUATION HAS BEEN ABOUT MONEY AND RACE AND IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN. IF IT WERE TOM BRADY IN THIS SITUATION WE WOULD HAVE NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT AND YOU PETA, WOULD NOT TRY TO DESTROY HIS LIFE. YOU WOULD JUST MAKE UP SOME BULL$#!T EXCUSE AS TO WHY HE MADE SUCH A STUPID MISTAKE AND BE DONE WITH IT. JUST REMEMBER...IF IT WERE THE OTHER WAY AROUND THEY WOULD PROBABLY EAT YOU!!!!!LOL

NUNYA: the human being is responsible for dangerous animals - never the animal itself! it's the badtreatment by human beings which makes these dogs dangerous! are you dishonest or just unintelligent? i have two pitbulls and i grew them up since they were very small and they are very nice and joyful - so stop your hateful campaign!

Posted by: Daylight | November 30, 2007 02:01 PM

hey PEACE,,, i, too, saw the documentary "dealing dogs" and it was absolutely horrific to see dogs treated so inhumanely. if you closely watched the documentary, you would know that the undercover investigation was conducted by the animal rights organization "last chance for animals". the following link is for your information in regards to your question as to what happened to c.c. baird and the martin creek kennel (where the atrocities took place). check it out and educate yourself on the outcome of the investigation.
http://www.lcanimal.org/invest/baird.htm
this example shows that at least one horrible avenue for animal cruelty in the u.s. has been stopped!
PETA has done more than their fair share to do the same in many other instances. so, PEACE, get a clue and stop putting the blame on PETA.
- lisa
p.s. and if you WERE so "horrified" by what you saw on "dealing dogs" tell me, just what have you done in your state to try to pass legislation banning class b animal dealers? anything? besides bitch at PETA? hmmm? nothing? i didn't think so. you hypocrit.

Posted by: lisa | November 30, 2007 08:34 PM

If peta is so for animal rights why are you trying to ban a breed of animal. Peta posted about horse fighting are you going to fight to ban horses? I don't think so. Your not 100% for all animals. If your going to claim your "people for the ethical treatment of animals" you wouldn't fight to ban any of them! I am a proud pit bull owner and lover! If you ban pit bulls it will just be another breed for you to fight to ban in the future. Go after the cause not the breed!

Nunya:
Animals, like children, learn what they live. If you raise a pitbull to be a loving, loyal member of the family, then that's what he'll be. If you raise him by a)beating him regularly
b)encouraging him to fight with other dogs and c)not stop the fights once they start,(the way fighting pits are often raised) then that's the kind of dog you'll have. NO dog is "naturally dangerous". People, on the other hand, have often proved to be quite dangerous, to themselves, each other and other animals. Don't make this a racial issue; it's not. It's an ANIMAL issue and a question of ethics and inhumane treatment. I don't care if it's Michael Vick or Tom, Dick or Harry Whiteass. I DO care about dogs getting hanged, tormented and killed just for the hell of it. That is the issue and the ONLY issue, as far as I'm concerned.

Way to go PETA! Don't let those Knuckleheads off the hook no matter who they are, or what they do for a living. I wonder if they are going to be such tough guys in prison.

Posted by: Kimberly | December 1, 2007 09:07 PM

It's quite obvious that the pro-Vickers will fabricate any other kind of issue out of Vick's situation rather than admit to the TRUTH and the FACTS of his heart-less, unconscienable criminal behavior. It's easier for them to keep trying to cast a diversion by blaming everybody else or anything else but the person who is responsible: Michael Vick!
So I guess it's fair to say that the same people are adept at concocting excuses or blaming someone else when it comes to their own wrong-doings as well. That tells of having a very weak character.

Posted by: Ariel | December 2, 2007 10:06 AM

Nunya, you are an idot for sure. how about you stop acting like everythings against black people, when its not. we live in the millenium. not the friggen 60s. things have changed from then. so chill dude. chill. um anyway.. vick needs more jail time(for life), loose his job(forever), and never to be seen with a dog or any animal EVER again.

so, what do u think aobut that one? hmm? [idot]

Posted by: Ashley | December 2, 2007 05:03 PM

Is anyone tired of the race card yet? NUNYA, the beginning of cruelty towards "black and brown people," as you said lies in humans' cruelty to animals. violence against other beings must be stamped out before there will be peace among men.

Posted by: Caboose (Combine Slayer) | December 3, 2007 03:47 PM

I find it interesting that most of your protesters against Vick are white. I have to imagine that most of PETA's membership is white as well. While poor (predominately non-white in america) people have more important things to worry about, and the more compassionate among us have things like the Genocide in Darfur or the Iraq war to worry about, PETA is little more than a snobby white social club that does little more then care for their precious pet poodles and annoy the crap out of everyone else trying to survive in this world.
Well done PETA, Well-done.

Posted by: Matt Peirce | December 10, 2007 12:27 PM

This is nothing to do with RACE. This man tortured innocent dogs to their death, in the most inhumane way. He needs to spend some time in prison and be made to realise the error of his evil ways. I dont care if he is a footballer or not it is irrelevent he needs to be punished for his sickening crimes. I have two dogs who are loving and good natured dogs are vicious because they are made that way by their owners, ie by treating them aggressively, tormenting them, starving them and beating them. All cowardly acts of barbaric treatment if you were treated like that youd be vicious to other people.

Posted by: Tiffany | December 10, 2007 07:57 PM

Too bad there's no video of Vick hanging or electrocuting those dogs...maybe that would wake up all the Pro-Vick people-let's hope footage surfaces....and for those who are bringing race into this; that's just stupid. I hope they make him donate millions to animal rescue groups....

Posted by: sk8punk | December 10, 2007 10:38 PM

I just hope Vick has enough time to be sorry for the crime and not just sorry he got caught. Hope this teaches others that this inhumane activity is also illegal and VA does not tolerate this from anyone (white, red, blue or purple). I would be outraged with whomever committed this crime. I also hope the exposure will reduce the # of dogfighting rings and possibly save other precious animals from living lives worse than death. I thank PETA for all your MANY efforts to improve the lives of all animals. You are truly the hands, feet and voice of hope for our 4 legged friends.

As a longtime Virginia Tech Hokie Football fan and Atlanta Falcon fan, on behalf of the Virginia Tech community, the PETA organization in getting to be very "ANNOYING," when it comes down to ruining a man's reputation.

Sure, Michael Vick has done wrong hurting innocent animals and needs to somewhat punished, but when it comes down to hurting a man's reputation, that's when it has crossed the line.

I guarentee that at least half or most of the PETA activist supporting Vick's punishment have killed an animal of sort whether it's squashing an insect, spider, trapping a mouse or rat, or even just eating the meat for dinner.

Next time you talk or protest about someone killing an animal, you need to remember that you too, are harming innocent animals in order to be clothed or to eat.

Note I did not say that Vick should not be punished. He did bad stuff and broke the law and was deceptive in court about it. He got sentenced. My argument is that while PETA is busy railing for animals, Human beings are suffering this holiday season and deserve more attention than even the worst treated animals.
I'm not for cruelty or mistreatment of animals I just think a lot of things are ALOT more important.

Posted by: Matt Peirce | December 11, 2007 09:36 PM

To Matt: What are you the priority police? If there are more important things to be concerned about then why are you spending SOOO much time on the PETA website? And FYI: statistically, people who dedicate their time to one organization are more likely to contribute or donate their time to other organizations as well. Why don’t you get out there and do some good instead of criticizing those of us trying to make things better in the world. Get busy, donate your time to Habitat for Humanity; you are dong no good here. To Nunya; I think you are the same idiot I responded to on Greta wire b/c you mentioned Tom Brady again, so I will say the same thing I said before in case you hadn’t read it…You shouldn’t use this forum to spew YOUR racist viewpoints. You clearly are an angry woman who hates white people. Every issue is not a racial one, but you want to make it one. Here is a good test for you, for the future. If the ISSUE still stands up as important when you remove race from the equation, then it is not a racial issue. I don’t care if the man were Tom Brady, Brad Pitt or any WHITE person. I love animals. They have feelings. Dogs are amazing creatures that have rescued and rehabilitated people from simple loneliness to selfless acts of love, like rescuing ALL colors of people in the 9/11 towers. Just so you know, dogs don’t care about the color of your skin; they will love you no matter what color or socio-economic background. I don’t understand how you can support a person that has done such heinous things JUST because he’s black. Torture, electrocution, drowning, it’s wrong…no matter what, no matter when. As a society shouldn’t we learn from our mistakes and make better choices? 
 Stop seeing everything thorough the eyes of a separatist and see your self as a member of a larger community, a member of the human race and a creature of the earth. With regards to your racial hatred, you need to work on your own issues before anyone will be convinced or convicted by anything you have to say. Hatred convinces no one.

Posted by: Jen Wang | December 13, 2007 03:52 PM

Why is it that people get on their high horse about cruelty to animals. They start accusing people of not caring about humans but only caring about animals. It really annoys me. Deliberate cruelty to animals is sick and a cowardly act, because animals are in the mercy of humans and humans can chose what ever they like to do with animals. Another thing that annoys me is when some people say, Oh animals are stupid or they dont feel pain. Of course they feel PAIN and they are not stupid, the only one stupid is the human that says animals are stupid. obviously they have never taken the time to get to know their pets very well.

Posted by: Susan | December 13, 2007 05:07 PM

Jen Wang you are spot on. I agree with what you have just written. Animals do have feelings, such as loyalty, love, sad, lonely and even feel depressed. This issue is nothing to do with RACE, it is all to do with the disgusting cruelty that this man (no matter who he was, or what colour, religion or part of the world he came from)inflicted on the animals in his care. He betrayed all the animals in his care, taught them to be aggressive from an early age. All of those dogs could of had a better life and shown love, decency and human kindness. DOG FIGHTING is barbaric and needs to be eradicated.

Posted by: Susan | December 15, 2007 06:56 AM

In response to Matt Peirce:

How the hell do you know what PETA members or other animal rights supporters think (or do) about Darfur, the Iraq war, racism, poverty, or anything else? Did it ever occur to you that animal rights advocates might care about more than one thing? It's ironic that while racists stereotype people like you, you turn right around and stereotype people yourself. And consider the well-being of dogs relatively unimportant because they're not human, too! The logic is exactly the same as that of people who consider a person of color's well-being unimportant because of the color of their skin.

Posted by: Jeff Melton | December 15, 2007 11:23 AM

Knowing that PETA is against hunting and fishing, and more then willing to lobby for laws against such. Puts a pet lover, and Vick detester like myself in a fickle. Being I like to hunt and fish, makes PETA more of a threat to my freedoms and liberties, than Vick and his dog thugs. Your intolerance truly hurts your cause. Absolute intolerance has led to the demise of many organizations. Just ask the KKK. Finding commom ground could serve could serve you well.

Posted by: jhavard | December 16, 2007 02:18 AM

To JHAVARD

I understand what you are saying., but can I ask you why do you hunt? Do you hunt to feed yourself or hunt for pure enjoyment? I do not see the point in shooting an animal, such as a bear and leave it to rot where you shot it. When shooting an animal you also have to take into account whether it is breeding season and if they have young, so when you shoot an animal you will also end up killing the young who will not survive without their mother if they are still feeding them, so the whole family will die (one by being shot the others from starvation). The worst thing I can think of is CANNED LION shooting in South Africa, where by people from all around the world pay THOUSANDS of dollars/pounds to kill a lion in an enclosed environment. What is the purpose of this? Perhaps you can enlighten me. Do people do it for the fun of it or because they want to feel courageous (though anybody can put a bullet in an animal which has no chance of escaping and I personally detest this type of arranged premeditated shooting of such a beautiful creature as the lion. It is disgusting. Fair enough if your life was in danger but to shoot an animal for NO REASON whatso ever is pointless. Thank god though that you do support Peta with some things though. Hatred for Dog fighting and loving your pets are very good virtues.

first of all who do any of you think you are to say that we should make extinct an entire breed of dog. that is not our decision to make espesially a breed as loving as the american pit bull terrier. not only are you lost my friend you believe you know anything about war! i am a veteran of iraq and afghanistan. the look on these innocent faces when they finally realized we freed them from the tyranny of a corrupt government and terrorism to let them live their lives as they please. and not only that they have begun to help us to clear these unwanted entities. and when i got home it wasnt the bickering about the war that helped me recover from my PTSD it was my american pit bull terrier, anna, who's only goal in life is to make me happy. so god have mercy on ANYBODY who tries to take my anna from me. cause i sure the hell wont.

Posted by: james ramey | January 15, 2008 09:29 PM

I've been a dog trainer for 13 years and I have worked with many pitbulls. They are an amazing breed very smart and loveable but most of all loyal. These dogs are not born fighters they have to be trained that way, and think about it any breed can be aggressive I've also been a veterinary tech. for 12 years and there are many breeds that have to be muzzled just to approach them. I think Vick deserves to feel the pain and torture that he did to those dogs. Hopefully one day that will be the new law you hurt a animal and the same thing has to happen to you.

Posted by: Hmiller | January 19, 2008 12:08 AM

I read through most of the comments and the one that stood out the most was the one written by nunya. I was very unimpressed with that person's ability to turn a dog fighting ring into a racist remark. I recently rescued a pitt bull that had been starved to the point of death. It is the best dog I've ever had. Even with the most terrible of situations, she found it within her heart to love man again and to give us a second chance. I wish more people were like these dogs. For a person that is screaming racism and money to us, and to on the same hand discrimate theirself against a breed that they obviously know nothing about is irony. Nunya, noone owes you nor your race anything. We are all human beings with a responsibility. Michael Vick should be prosecuted as should anyone regardless of color that fights innocent dogs. Nunya, may God show mercy on your soul. Judge not lest ye be judged!

Posted by: Lisa Stokes | January 28, 2008 04:37 PM

I am eight years old. I wanted to say that everyone should stop treating dogs that way and start loving them. They need to think about what they're doing before they treat a dog like that. Michael Vick needs to learn respect about dogs. He might need lessons. My pitt bull is very nice and loves me. Her name is Lucky Lou.

Posted by: Victoria Stokes | January 28, 2008 10:52 PM

Having owned an American Bull Terrier for two years now, one positive I have seen come out of this horror is changing the public attitude towards this breed. My dog was horribly abused & we were able to intervene as it was happening. She was only about 2 mo old when it occured & she still suffers a terrible distrust for all men (it causes both the dog & my husband who is a real dog lover a lot of pain)I have really enjoyed the pictures of Vicks' dogs being retrained & socialized!

It confuses me why people with a very limited understanding still persist to comment, PETA do fantastic work, this isn't about making any species extinct and anyone organising fights wether they are white, black, pink or orange should go to jail and dog fighting needs to be banned!

It really is that simple
