Typically I just want people to see the other side. My extended family is from the deep south, dog fighting is like nothing to them. Me personally, I can't bear to watch or even see a dog squeal but I understand my environment is much different than the one they grew up in. Do I fault them for it? Judge them? No, because at the end of the day I'm not perfect MYSELF for me to say that they are evil, or psycho.

Vick knew the laws, he broke them, otherwise there would have been no reason to lie. If he is to be judged, judge him as a criminal and he already was by a jury of his peers. But for me to say what is in that mans heart.. I would be no better than the label I am placing on him because I have not walked in his shoes.

I know where you are going with this and I still dont buy it. It would be one thing if he never left that environment, but he is supposedly college educated. He could have easily left that life behind in favor of more healthy forms of entertainment. Hell, if he really wanted to see to the death fighting, there are places in Asia that have them on a regular basis. The difference is that it is 2 consenting adults that are involved and not animals that were never given a chance at something else.
