It's all nice and good that we've had a visceral anti-Michael Vick and anti-dog fighting response in this country, but it only brings about further questions about humanity's violence. How many people reacting angrily toward Vick have cheered on Joyce Gracie tear a ligament or Randy Couture pummel his opponent in mixed-martial arts.
...Or shoot defenseless deer or quail?
...Or bomb the hell out of each other for no apparent reason?
...Or perhaps even seen hulking, grown men attack each other, drugging themselves up each weekend in the hope of feint glory and riches, while debilitating themselves in the process?
I think the outrage about Vick stems from brutally killing another being that has not willingly entered into a fight. MMA participants march to their fate with free will while the pit bulls were simply beaten to death or electrocuted.
