I cant watch this if they show clips of the dog fighting, just gets me depressed, even when they showed short little clips on the news.

They couldnt possibly make pets out of those dogs could they? I mean after they have been trained to fight. It seems the instinct to kill would be too great. I wouldnt feel comfortable with them around children.

and I'm with you Seahawker. I didnt like watching them fight in the clips either.

I can't watch it either. Last I heard those dogs are being retrained out in the desert. They are using Vick's money to care for them as long as they live. One of their caretakers just sits in one corner of the pen talking and befriending the dog he cares for. Another guy lets one of the most abused dogs sleep with him every night. Like they said, since he is paying for it why not try to help the dogs.

I didnt hear about that, but thats great news. Im glad hes paying for it with his money and being in jail

I think he put up that money hoping to get a break from the court. Seems it did not work. I wish I could put him through some of what he put those dogs through.

I know that sounds mean. But I love all dogs not just mine.
