  I have a bad dog. He's bad to the bone. With bad dogs, talking is not enough. To avoid future disaster you must be firm. So I tie my dog up. Keep him in one position, preferably half-standing, half- sitting. Not so his legs will break or anything, but just so that after the first hour he starts to whimper a little. I tell him he's a bad dog. I

  Here's a chew toy commemorating alleged dogfighting impresario and Pit Bull torturer Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback accused of various animal atrocities.

  celebs and animal cruelty, and you have a recipe for unusually prolonged national media coverage of an important issue. If my neighbor wanted to tell America that dog fighting is cruel, he'd have a much tougher time getting in the headlines, but even an actor standing in front of a microphone and telling the world that dog fighting is

  silent on the animal cruelty case of Atlanta Falcons football star Michael Vick...I think part of the reason is that I see dozens of stories much like this almost every day, only the ("alleged") perpetrators are anonymous. Vick merely provides a juicy target for those wishing to bring attention to dogfighting and other illegal animal

  kind of law against animal cruelty. It's much easier to justify encroachments into someone else's cultural practices if they're based on some kind of gesture towards a coherent ethical scheme; "factory farmed meat for me, but no dogfighting for thee" strikes me as the most baseless sort of imperialism. You could make an argument that the

  Animal Cruelty Isn't Judged on a Level Playing FieldPhilly.com: We're all Michael VickOf course, Courtland Milloy treads water, briefly touching on this conflict, teetering on an epiphany, but ultimately preferring to ponder why Michael Vick is being hit so hard with these charges, which seems kind of backward to me,

Doubtless he'll

  This is amazing and all to incredibly predictable... there are many videos around the internet attesting to this behavior. I cant say this without noting that actually BEING there and seeing them use potential threat-less people as bombs would tempt me to act the same way... It is a difficult situation... that is for sure. Gans says she
