Pretty sad guys. Im not saying what Vick did is right, but a human life is way more important and special than an animal, no matter how you slice it. Your bond with the HUMAN RACE should outweigh any bond with an animal.

That depends on the human. Dogs do bite and an animal is an animal. What makes the human much more lethal is the ability to calculate and manipulate and add that to the mix when regarding despicable acts. Killers,rapists,child-molesters,thugs are human. If you are expecting me to put their lives over the life of a loyal companion? Not going to happen. This is a subject that folks could debate and argue over forever,but what it boils down to is that some folks are geared one way and others another. The life of decent folk is precious,and there are many that I would gladly give my own for,but when we talk humans,we need to talk about them all,and sadly all you have to do is click on and peep the news to see how sick and twisted mankind has become (as I type this,some nut in NY is being booked for a killing spree). My faith in mankind has diminished sadly. An animal often does harm in reaction while humans do harm to achieve a means like a new pair of shoes. Humans like Stalin,Saddam,Pol Pot,Hitler in one day killed more humans that animals have in the entire span of time.
