Vick, if convicted, merits full penalty

I think that I speak for all dog lovers in America, when I state that Michael Vick, an obscenely overpaid, publicity loving, narcissicistic thug of a celebrity (he's not a legitimate NFL QB!), is an animal terrorist. I mean, here's a person that has unlimited wealth at his disposal. He can go deep sea fishing. Climb the Himalayas. Skydiving. Safari in Africa, etc.

But, no. He chooses -- by published reports -- to breed, raise and brutalize puppies he's trained to fight to the death!

Of course, these charges aren't yet proven. But, in the court of public opinion, i.e., dog lovers, he's already shown himself to be an accomplice by association. He's allowed his property to be the site of these barbaric slaughters!

He deserves to be punished to the fullest extent of the law!
