Michael Vick: Kill a dog, do thetime
By encinoman
It&;s on: Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months for animal cruelty and financing a dog-fighting conspiracy. Like many addictions, from cocaine to gambling, Vick&;s is costing him dearly:
The Atlanta Falcons are attempting to recoup bonus money from his 10-year, $130 million football contract, Vick is in default on a $1.3 million bank loan for a wine store, and two other banks have filed suits seeking repayment of a $4.5 million in loans and lines of credit.
Perhaps Vick was just born out of time and place. Shakespeare immortalized bear baiting, and Queen Elizabeth (the first one) was a big fan of what was a big-time sport. Even today, there are those who will defend Michael Vick and dogfighting, some on cultural, others on libertarian grounds. Money quote:
In the end, if animals are property &; and they are &; then their owners should be fit to do with them as they please.
Society&;and the law&;doesn&;t see it that way. That&;s why Vick is losing his liberty&;and as predicted here, his money.
