My thoughts on…Michael Vick’s doggie distress
They say dogs are a man’s best friend. Well, except one. Michael Vick. The dogfighting scandal he’s been embroiled in has sent his career…well, to the dogs. I wasn’t gonna post on this until I saw an article about Mike’s trading cards being chewed up by dogs and sold on EBay. (If that isn’t poetic justice, I don’t know what is.) That’s when it became postworthy.
Turns out these cards are selling like bombs in an Islamic country. Each card is worth $455, making them the most expensive Michael Vick cards - ever. I feel sorry for the guy. This scandal has ruined him, both professionally and personally. Dogfighting is savage, I agree. Plus the dogs that lost or were unfit to fight met a cruel end, via electrocution, drowning, strangulation, etc. But people have blown it out of proportion. They make it seem as if he killed somebody. Well, it would’ve been better if he did that. At least he could’ve become a rapper. I suppose it’s because Americans have such an unnatural love for their pets.
Vick’s being targeted by humane societies because he’s got money, fame and status. (It could also be a race issue.) If it was any average Joe, it wouldn’t even make the evening news. Still, being a celebrity, he should’ve known better, ’cause when people love you, they love you. And when they hate you, boy do they hate you. Well Mike, whatcha gonna do now? Well, with that muscular physique, you could flip more burgers than all the staff at the local BK.
