As for the protests, I think you underestimate PETA and the public's love of animals. It's not just that he ran a dog-fighting ring, it's that he shot, electrocuted, and beat to death those dogs that were too nice to fight. In my opinion it is pathetic and he deserves what he has coming to him if he is guilty.

I am a dog lover/owner and I am black. But the media circus is just ridcules. Does anyone know if Vick actually killed theses dogs himself? It's like everyone wants to convict the guy before he goes to trial. The allegations are most likely coming from his hoodrat homeboys who are trying to save their own asses. So far the only thing he is guilty of is hanging on to these low life thugs.
But I do agree with you, if he is guilty of this and particularly if he was betting of dog fights then he needs to go down.
