Vick's Fans, Critics Plot Rallies Ahead of Eagles Game

Great post, neeley, and I agree with ya. And I've an idea how he came to think that way. Not every race or culture views animals in the same way. I was heavily involved in animal rescue before I moved back to Raleigh and I plan to get back involved as soon as I am able. One of the problems we ran into in trying to get dogs and cats adopted into loving homes was that black is a problem here in the south. Black dog and cats are extremely hard to get adopted because of old, prevailing attitudes that black is associated with evil and witchery. One rescuer I know that has a very high adoption rate still has, unfortunately, most of the black dogs she has rescued. It is a serious strain on her funds, but she will not stand for any other option with these dogs but adoption or they live with her the rest of her lives. Another thing that shapes how people feel about animals is how they are raised. There are those who do not see dogs and cats or any animal as creatures to be included in a family, therefore, making the animals fight for sport and money is not a giant leap for them. There are still others who do not believe animals have souls, therefore, they do not warrant any special love or attention. I do not, in any way, excuse the behavior, but I know it exists. The animal advocate for whom I did volunteer work and I used to discuss ways to educate people because education is the best way to eliminate these ancient views of black animals being evil and/or all animals being only for food or sport.

First, let him do some good deeds and charitable works to show his remorse. He has not done anything to show remorse!!!
