On the topic of Vick, he recently stated in an interview that he wants a dog again. I think I died a little inside when he tried to blame his actions on "culture".

Hate to tell you, Vick, dog killing isn't a "black thing", which is what I'm guessing you meant by your culture comment. Its not a race or culture thing at all. Its a hobby of inhuman jerks.
And seriously, how can he claim that he didn't know it was wrong?! Everything in our society touts the loyalty, the virtue of dogs. Nothing about it says "hey, look at this dogs! Lets go put them in fighting rings!". He made me hate him more and I didn't think that was possible.
