Dog-Eat-Dog World

Cesar Millan (a.k.a. The Dog Whisperer) has quite a bit to say these days for his canine pals. Why? Well as of this past week Michael Vick has finally pleaded guilty in sponsoring dog fights. Vick has made his public apologizes, stating how he realizes that dog fighting is wrong. Well was there ever a point where having dogs fight to the death was a good thing?

Class let's take a look at this question.

Dog fighting is a physical fight between canines, sometimes involving the pitting of two dogs against each other for the entertainment of spectators, and for the purpose of gambling.

Well now we see that Vick did it for the money. I guess playing for the Atlanta Falcons doesn't pay well and Vick felt he was going to have to take on a second job. So can we blame a man who was just trying to make a good living for himself? Well it probably depends on who you are, but in this case I believe the answer is yes.

Even though his sentence isn't due till December, Vick has announced that he has found God. People always seem to find God in times of trouble but hardly ever when things are good, unless it's the Oscars. Maybe its because we see God as the only way for the good to come from the bad, or the sun to break through the clouds.

So what the does future hold for Vick? Who knows, it's a dog-eat-dog world.
