Dog Health Questions: Why is everyone being so hard on Michael Vick for just dog fighting.?

Why are people making Michael Vick seem like such a bad person. All he did was have two dogs fight and put some money on it. So what? If dogs want to fight let them. Who are we to say what dogs can and cannot do? Humans are allowed to fight so why should we be so SELFISH and deny that privelage to dogs. All Michael Vick was doing was giving dogs the opportunity to show case their talents. Dogs should have the choice of freedom of what they want to do when they grow up. If they want to fight, then let them fight. If they want to be house dogs, then let them be house dogs. If they want to be wild dogs, then my God let them be wild dogs. How would you like if if you were told what you had to do...you wouldnt like it. All Michael Vick was doing was helping the Dogs train for the dreams of being the meanest baddest dog in the world. We do it all the time in boxing and MMA...dogfighting is no different.

Training Your Dog - Dog Training Tips and Advice



Recommended Answer:
I'm going to consult Tito Ortiz and Forrest
Griffin on this next tI'me we're in the ring together.
They got me a pit bull for my birthday 2 months ago, and they also gave me a big tire to "train" her with, do you think that means they expect me to make her a "killing" machine?
wow, im so naive lol, i will have to ask them Friday. hmmm i thought it was just a nice gesture from one UFC fighter to another.

Using Dog Training Collars to Train Your Dog


  • You need to read up on animal behavior before even writing this ignorant. Dogs do not want to fight. It's how they are raised. You train them to fight. Dogs do not have the mental capacity to understand if they want to fight or if they're defending themselves to another aggressive dog. You're an idiot. I am hoping that this is a joke to irritate people. Any other reason for writing this is completely stupid.

  • Boxing is controlled and there is a ref to keep anyone from dying.

    If a boxer is injured it gets a Dr ringside. A dog fighting gets tossed in the back yard to bleed to death, and the dog that didn't kill it gets beaten to death.

    BIG DIFFERENCE!

    My dogs bicker all the time there is a difference in dogs competing for dominance and superiority and competing for their life.

  • You're a moron. If dogs want to fight, let them? Dogs don't want to fight, they're trained to fight. They're hit with sticks, beat and egged on to attack other dogs. Fighting to the death is a learned trait in dogs, taught by people.

    Most dog breeds want nothing more than to please it's owner, and most dogs will try and be the best at what it's owner wants it to be the best. These dogs didn't just wake up one day and decide they wanted to be a fighter.

  • It is cruel and disgusting that people would stick dogs together and watch them rip each other apart. It is NOT the dogs choice it is the person putting them together who is responsible. What insane person gets a thrill out of watching anything fight to the death. Some people can be so insensitive, its no wonder the world has become so callus that blood and guts are something they watch as entertainment on their TV's. Besides all of that, it's not like Mr. Vick didn't have enough money! What fool would give up all they had just to own illegal fighting dogs. Oh, I know, Michael Vick! What a dope!

  • Are you just trying to irritate people?

  • You're right!

    Poor Michael Vick. The lawmakers probably targeted Vick from childbirth and wrote up the law so they could frame him.

    Poor Vick. NOT!

    To poster #13 - Well said. This was very sick. Vick needs help!

  • Are you kidding he didn't just dogfight!! He electricuted the dogs and drowned them when the wouldn't fight. He also shot them. He should be prosecuted by law to the fullest extent.

  • You obviously have no clue.
    Dogs do not have freedom of choice.
    Can I ask, why is it there aren't an abundance of white people involved in dog-fighting??
    Just curious.
    Maybe there is some sort of cultural difference that is larger than anyone cares to admit? I see it pretty clearly, though.

  • Your kidding right? Please tell me this isn't a serious question....
    Let's see...because if they don't perform up to his standards...they are killed. If not by the other dog then by the person who trained it.

  • because some people love animals... i mean why did he have to tourture the dogs? what did these dogs ever do to make him do it? sure, its about money and that is understandable, but these dogs are suffering. How do these dogs showcase their talents? do you eve know what conditions are for some of these dogs? they are fed coke to keep them up and energised. they are often beaten to keep them strong, and resllient, they are often shown little love and affection, and if they lose they are beaten, tourtured and mistreated. sure, there are exceptions but ovbiously for non animal lover these things don't matter. its not just for someone to treat an animal like this. why should ppl respect someon who treats dogs like crap when they have aniom,als at home, who are loveable creatures and give their owners all the love in the world? why should ppl concivntly overlook that because he is a football player? oh and he didnt just have two fight. he admitted killing SIXTY EIGHT DOGD> 68. I just thikn you are a fan who is denying whats happening. Ppl make him out to be bad, because he created that image for himself. Saving he is a good person and deserves to play football again, is like saying a pedaphile deserves to sit in at a day care centre, or a racist should go to a black function. Comeon, man. I still don believe youre serious. Oh and alot of these dogs dont have their arms up saying "Hey Vick, pick me". These dogs are hand picked and bred to win money for their owner. Boxing is different. Boxers live and make money.

  • Sure. And when he is a s s raped in prison, hey, that's just what convicts do, who are we to stop them?

  • because the dogs were forced to fight in the first place like they didnt have a choice of their own uv must not heard the whole story michael vick trained his dogs to fight when we fight and get a blowout to the head we have money ourseves to pay for it but when dogs get deep punctured wounds and we try to take it to the vet we cant because we know that they r going to know that it is a fighting dog and if he was to try and deny it they could go and investigate his house and they would find a lot of them dogs all messed up and he would still get in troublei still think michael vick needs to serve the hard time for doing the hard crime and he is a person just like we are then i think they should take all of his things like regular police do to us they are not going to get paid by him and so i think they should just send him to jail its not going to make a difference in the police pocket book but michael vick it will make quite a differenceso they should just give him the maximum time they are going to give him

  • How do you know that the dogs want to fight?

    I do think that people are being a little bit harsh about judging Vick. But then again, maybe he needs to be put in his place.

    I mean, think about it- if this man has no conscience about killing animals, would you trust him with your own children? There is something disturbing about a person who permits animals to be killed like that. Cruelty.

    Again, how are we supposed to know what a dog thinks? How are we to know that the dogs want to grow up to fight?

    We humans have dominion over the animals- and that means that responsibility falls upon us to keep them safe and out of harm's way. Wouldn't you agree?

  • Dogs don't have choices dude. They are all at the mercy of human beings and what Vick did should not be tolerated!!!

  • I hope every single one of your contacts delete you.

  • 1.buried dogs alive if they did not perform right
    2. shocked them to death
    3. rammed their heads down on cement if they did not perfom right
    4.drowned them
    hanged them.
    Want more of what he did to them. Do you think he was in the right of doing these things to the dogs. It is illegal to have a Dog Fight. Dogs are not HUMAN where they can make that choice to fight it is the person that made that decision for the Dog to fight illegal. Dogs are not meant to fight. They can't make a decision and say NO I don't want to fight. You say the Human fighting is the same as dog fighting ,it is not the same way as Humans where they can make up their own mind to fight but a dog can not say I will fight or not it is the PERSON that is doing it for them. Dogs can not talk. They can't say I will fight or I will not fight. DOGS ARE NOT HUMAN.

  • because they are dogs.... they aren't there on free will- and the things owners do to the dogs are so terrible... a lot of dogfighters do feed thier dogs gunpowder to make them crazy.... need i say more

  • These dogs had no choice... they were raised to be vicious and if they don't live up to their cruel owners expectations, they are killed or tortured. If you honestly think they have a choice, there is something wrong with you.

  • How about we lock you in a cage and starve you, then beat you to really piss you off and then put you in a ring with another kid who just happens to have some food who is just as hungry and pissed as you are. And when you get sick of fighting we'll poke you with tasers to wake you up. Sounds awesome right.......

  • 1.buried dogs alive if they did not perform right
    2. shocked them to death
    3. hanged them.
    4.drowned them
    5.rammed their heads down on cement if they did not perfom right

    He should be drowned

  • It isn't so much the dog fighting it is what he did to the dogs when they didn't perform to his standards. He hung them and electrocuted them to get rid of ones that couldn't measure up in the dog fighting arena. I hope they throw the book at him.

  • This has to be a joke. There is no way that this person is this idiotic.

    Great, you got one over on us.

  • 1)because the videos shown were pretty graphic.
    2)because the prosecutors love high profile cases.If this were some average guy from Detroit, they wouldn't really care too much.
    3)because many people own and love their dog and imagine it losing a dog fight.
    4)because he is rich,successful,famous,and black and some people think that him going down somehow helps them.
    I don't like dog fighting, but putting him in jail for over a year seems unfair compared to other punishment vs.crime.
    BTW I love my dog but this is a witch hunt.

  • Very ignorant ?. He was suppose to be a role model. Instead he's a dog killer!
