Michael Vick, once one of the highest paid and highest profile players in the National Football League, was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting ring that was based on his property in rural southeastern Virginia. ... At the government’s request, Vick has deposited $928,073.04 in an escrow account, for the care and evaluation of those dogs.
I think a little under a million dollars to take care of the dogs along with additional fines would be more than sufficient. Since when have animals been granted rights under the US Constitution? Sure, Vick shouldn't be able to own another pet, but jail? Seriously? No wonder there is an overcrowding issue.
Don't think that's hash enough? Let the free market decide! Already, Vick has lost major contracts with various sporting goods providers, has been suspended from the NFL indefinitely without pay, and is currently being sued by his former team.
This case makes me grooooooooooooooooooooooooan.
