Dan, Vick was convicted and served time for running an illegal enterprise. He served no time (got away with) intentionally torturing and killing dogs for sport. Read the stories from the animal rescue groups who helped with the dogs left alive. The dogfighting, while wrong, I get, it's cultural, like cockfighting in Mexico. Getting one's jollies beating dogs to death, drowning them, electrocuting, etc., well, I can't get over.
