I don’t follow American football much these days. Eight years after I left the U.S. those funny helmets, walking meaty chemistry experiments, not to mention a stupid plot line, all make me want to laugh. I find it hard to care anymore.

Now it’s in the news that some guy I’ve never heard of named Michael Vick has been dogfighting in his spare time. He is being indicted and faces a prison term.

The question I want to ask is: are you for fucking real?

You’re going to put a human being in jail, destroy his career, destroy his LIFE because he caused injury and death to DOGS?

If I cut a tree down you gonna throw me in prison too?

Let’s get something straight here, folks. Animals ARE NOT PEOPLE. They are ANIMALS. Senators in the god-for-fucking-sake U.S. Senate are on the floor denouncing this “barbaric practice”. Well guess what people, LIFE is a barbaric practice. Nothing lives unless something else dies, and that includes you and me. We kill animals and plants because they are interesting and tasty and edible and maybe sometimes just for the fun of it.

Guys: get your heads out of your fucking asses, bitch slap your pushy girlfriend/wife/mother/all of the above and tell them this:

Michael Vick did nothing wrong. Leave the man alone. Hell, let’s televise some of this here dog-fighting. It can’t be any more savage, brutal or boring than watching him play football.
