Vick and all that Whoopie

Dear Animal Rescuers...

Am I mistaken or have human beings always seen violence as entertainment?!?!?!

Whoopi did NOT defend Michael Vick. It is pretty clear the point she was making. Yesterday it was NOT as in-your-face clear as she made it today, yet yesterday it was still apparent that she was NOT defending Micheal Vick. Has everyone stopped listening? We are so used to soundbytes that the art of listening seems to fallen in the crapper.

All she did was say... hum... Vick comes from a place where dogfighting is the NORM..... (which is true). and HUMMMM we might need to take a look at that... hummmmmm.....

When you are raised seeing dogfighting as an OKAY THING to do... you grow up doing it... and thinking it is an okay thing to do... and maybe somewhere along the way you might GET IT. HOPEFULLY Vick now gets it... but who knows...

Merely describing WHY someone does something... does NOT in itself condone it! NOR does it excuse it...
explain and excuse are two completely different words...

LOOK at the Last Chance for Animals website on dogfighting... they describe how KIDS are at these dog fights. This desensitizes them to violence. Will these kids grow up thinking that dogfighting is wrong... ya think?!@?!?!?

When you know better you do better... hopefully Vick now knows better. Hopefully he is not merely reading from a script. Look at the KKK those MF have a sick, warped, view of the world... could it be that ANYONE involved in dogfighting who thinks that dog fighting is OKAY, also has a sick, warped view of the world... ya think?!?!?

In India they let cows walk all over the place.. we don't do that... in China... well... they also hold animals with a VERY different regard... In California we have different laws than other states... do you know in many states there are laws that if your PET chases wildlife your pet can be SHOT.

In certain areas in America I would not be surprised if the LAW looked the other way on dogfighting because it is engrained in their society... That does not mean WE should look the other way... we need to shine the spotlight on that.. because this is America and we hold animals with a very special regard... with any luck.. Michael Vick is now getting that,...

THAT is what (in my opinion) Whoopi was pointing out...

it is just like spanking kids... when you grow up with that... you think it's okay until someone teaches you something different.. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO TEACH!!! Do NOT spoil it with your
ignorance and anger... USE the power we now have...

Don't get pissy at Whoopi, THANK HER for mentioning it on a national show... When it is in the limelight we can educate... but this bashing makes ALL OF YOU ... Who are saying, she defended him, look like the irrational animal rescue people that the world already thinks you are... Animal Rescuers have just as bad... maybe WORSE image than Michael Vick and Senator Craig COMBINED it reinforces that image when you do REALLY IGNORANT things like this.

But come-on animal rescuers... grow up, get a grip on reality... and put the focus where it will do the most good.

Whoopie may not have defended Vick in so many words, but technically she did condone his actions by such omission. On the other side of the coin, did she even once defend the dogs in Vick's possession who lost fights and were put to death because of that?
