What ???? Did you really just say that ?

"Every year, thousands of young and healthy Greyhounds are killed merely because they lack racing potential, are injured while racing or are no longer competitive."

http://www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/gre...

THOUSANDS... and it's legal. I guess that doesn't count to you since the dogs (most under 5 years old) are usually put to sleep peacefully, huh ? Some of you really make dog lovers look bad.

He hasn't paid his dues GB. To pay his dues he should be in jail &/or never be in professional sports again. By allowing him to play is condoning his actions. Supporting him is condoning his actions.

Too bad that's just your opinion and not realistic. That's why you people have failed at virtually everything you've done to keep him where YOU THINK he belongs. You speak like you have no grasp on reality at all and you avoid it when it's presented to you... like this:

You are too intelligent, to be that unforgiving, especially to someone who has already served his prison time....also, you seem to favor animals over humans(children even)....

No I don't favor one over the other. I am against abortion, but I do support a woman's choice. I know a bit of a dilemma. For example, I raised my son a single father. His bio-mother wanted an abortion, but her and my family talked her into carrying him to term and I gained full legal and physical custody. She has not seen or spoken to him since.

As to animals, well I have had too many to keep track anymore. Currently 2 pit bulls. My SIL is an obedience trainer, and studying to be a veterinarian.

You can not compare dog racing to the intentional deliberate violence of dog fighting. The dogs Vick trained were not for running down a track. They were trained to be vicious fighting dogs, most often lived their short lives in the most inhumane possible conditions. Racing dogs are not kept that way. Apples and oranges.

I'm not the one talking about greyhounds, though dog and horse racing, have their own sad abuse stories.....I think it is past time, to move on from blaming Vick, for everyone, who has ever fought dogs.....

You didn't even read the link from the ASPCA, did you ? Again, you don't base your opinion on any kind of fact. Just hatred. That's why your unrealistic desires never have been, and never will be satisfied. It's also the reason that you have NO RIGHT assuming someone condones Vick's activities just because they feel he's served his time. Which he has. One has NOTHING to do with the other. Perfect example... from what you said, one could easily surmise that you condone dog racing if your opinion is that it's so totally different than dog fighting. Pretty sick thinking if you read the pastes below from the ASPCA website.

http://www.aspca.org/fight-animal-cruelty/gre...

"Greyhounds begin life on a Greyhound breeding farm, where thousands of pups are born into the industry each year—of these, only a select few actually become racing dogs. This massive over-breeding is done in order to produce winning dogs. The unwanted pups, those who don’t measure up to racing standards, are simply destroyed."

"Most of the enclosures are not heated or air-conditioned, causing the short-coated dogs to suffer during severe weather temperatures. Many dogs suffer from fleas, ticks and internal parasites."

"Injuries include severed toes, broken legs, spinal cord paralysis, broken necks and cardiac arrest."

Kept sick and confined, killed if not performing,(1000's while they're still puppies) suffer horrifying injuries during their short racing careers, and eventually killed or sent to rescue groups. AND IT'S ALL LEGAL. Yeah, that's doesn't sound anything like the fate of fighting dogs, does it ? Gimme a break !
This is why people say "move on." Vick is ancient history and there's worse going on right under your nose and you obviously don't realize it if you say dog fighting and dog racing are like apples and oranges. At best it's apples and other kinds of apples.

By the way, you didn't answer why you won't show your location.

I never said they were the same. A direct quote would be, "apples and other kinds of apples." Of course you cut what I actually said . Again, if you people would only comment on what's posted instead of making up your own BS you'd have nothing to say at all. You're proving it time, and time again.

"Kept sick and confined, killed if not performing,(1000's while they're still puppies) suffer horrifying injuries during their short racing careers, and eventually killed or sent to rescue groups. AND IT'S ALL LEGAL."

I would say the sheer volume of dogs injured and destroyed combined with the fact that it's still legal makes it pretty horrifying, don't you ? Why do I bother asking. I'll just assume you support dog racing and the way they're treated, just like you assume everything YOU need to in order to continue your worthless argument. That's must be what we do here. I mean, so far I've seen nothing to the contrary.

People like you, who don't have the capacity to recognize how deviant and abhorrent the savage things vick did to innocent animals, who hide their lack of humanity behind the guise of "christianity", are what give true Christians a bad rap. Well, that and those Christian "leaders" who like to play with little children. LMGDAO

If you feel YOU aren't able to judge a sick bastard like vick, then GTFO and leave the common sense stuff to normal people who aren't childish enough to think the big guy in the sky is going to come down and exact justice on sick pieces of shit like vick.

Now, go thump your bible and whatever else you may like to "thump" and leave this up to the normal people. LMGDAO

You're nothing but a useless piece of garbage. Proven again. Afraid to face the truth and burying the posts you can't answer with new useless garbage. You're truly a pathetic excuse for a human being with zero creditably. But nonetheless entertaining.

Eagles going to a Super Bowl would require one of those "back-up turns out to be a superstar" stories that are far too rare. If Foles is the next Aaron Rodgers maybe. He's looked good in the pre-season, but let's see what he's like when it's GO time and we all know that's coming sooner rather than later.

So let me understand you correctly. You state that other peoples opinions who feel he has paid his dues are valid, but mine and others opinion that he has not is invalid. Gee thanks. How big of you. Hypocrite much?

I don't deny that there is abuse in dog racing. It exists in horse racing too. But it is minimal in comparison to dog fighting, where there is zero oversight.

ASPCA, god love 'em for their work, are like PETA in some ways. They are a bit extreme and tend to over-exaggerate. A few instances and they make it out like it is rampant through out the sport. Which it is not. Again I speak from personal knowledge through my SIL who has worked on dog and horse racing farms as part of her career. Her life's work has been all about animals.

As to my location, what is it to you? I have the option to not disclose my location in my posts. Others do that as well. Do you take up your displeasure with them? For the record I am in Annapolis. A drinking town, with a sailing problem.

Daily Horoscope for June 19

Capricorn

You're feeling slightly unconventional and you're looking for activities that will reflect your mood. You certainly won't be very keen on doing things that are drearily predictable or boring, although you'll grit your teeth and get on with them if you have no choice. But ideally you should do things on the spur of the moment, preferably in the company of people who make you feel alive and alert.
