But yes, there things that has happened a whole lot worse than what Vick did.

Does anyone remember Amadu Dialo? The kid who was shot at 51 times my the NYPD and the officers got off. No outrage, outside of the black community.

How about, Sean Bell, the man who was hours away from his own wedding, gunned down by NYPD and the officers got off. No outrage, outside of the black community.

Then there is Katheryn Johnston, a 92 year-old grandmother killed by the Atlanta PD, when they kicked in her down and shot her in her own house. APD lied and said she shot first. Again, no outrage outside of the black community.

I really do hate to bring race into this argument, but it so crazy to hear how people are so upset about what Vick did to some dogs, but you hear nothing from them when black people are killed in cold blood. I started plenty of threads discussing these very topics above, but I have only received only a small fraction of responses of what a Michael Vick post would have received.

Lastly, a 2006 study showed that PETA killed 97% of the dogs left in their care. The reason was said to be "damage control".

In a Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Online Animal Report, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) reported that in 2006, they took in 3,043 animals that were surrendered by their owners.

Of these 3,043 animals (1,960 cats, 1,030 dogs, 52 other companion animals, and 1 chicken), the organization reported that 2,981 animals were euthanized. The report filed by PETA shows that only 2 cats, 8 dogs, and 2 companion animals from the 3,043 animals were adopted out. This means 1,942 cats, 988 dogs, 50 other companion animals, and one chicken were euthanized which makes PETA’s euthanization rate 97%.
