In light of Michael Vick's release, I have been reading opinion pieces around the net. What doing so has made me realize is that a portion of us in this country have completely lost our moral compass, if there was one to begin with. Maybe it's because the details of what was done to these dogs has not been mainstream, but I tend to believe that with many of these people it wouldn't matter. It would still be OK to them.
For instance, in one case a dog was sprayed down with a hose and then electrocuted. It was systematically tortured and killed. Another was slammed against the ground until it was dead.
What saddens me is that a growing number of ignorant folks out there are unable to distinguish the difference between sadistic behavior and criminal necessity, or criminal negligence. There is a difference between making a choice to consciously inflict horrible amounts of pain upon a living creature for fun and the majority of other crimes.
When Vick crossed that line, he proved he himself is nothing more than an animal in a position of power. Which leads me to my point:
I believe the reason we have come to this point is due to our inability to act forcibly upon bad behavior. In the face of the most horrible crimes we show leniency. "Second chance" is the phrase of the day when it comes to criminals. I am here to say certain crimes do not deserve second chances. Michael Vick does not deserve a second chance.
If anyone deserves to die, it is Michael Vick and his sick friends. Killing them would be a gift to humanity. Think of the offspring these degenerates will produce. Why should we sit back and do nothing whilst scum like this infects society? It is time for those of us with an understanding of the difference between a terrible accident and a despicable act to stand up and demand punishment.
