Vicks has company in the Idjit Box


This one made me cry.


Dog fighting is a brutal activity. It's purpose is simply to watch two creatures inflict great pain and torment as they tear each other apart. No one, and I mean NO ONE in their right mind supports this type of activity.

And no one excuses it.

Stephon Marbury of the New York Knicks has decided poor Michael has been "piled on".
His comments about dog fighting?

"I think it's tough,'' Marbury said, according to Albany TV station Capital News 9. "I think, you know, we don't say anything about people who shoot deer or shoot other animals. You know, from what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors.''

Well, NO Marbury, dog fighting is not a "sport". It's an inhumane activity for low lifes. It's no where near the same as hunting. I know of no real hunter who WANTS to inflict as much suffering as possible. I know of no hunter who makes bets on how and when an animal dies and I know no real hunter who cages an animal and shoots it for "sport".

I called the Knicks office tonight and their main mailbox is full. So I left a message on the voicemail of their VP. (Star A will get you a directory for names)

I also emailed Steve And Barry's http://steveandbarrys.com/ who sell Murbury's shoes and suggested to both organizations that they might want to educate the man. Email address is customerservice@steveandbarrys.com

Dog fighting needs to end.
Perhaps there is now enough public outrage to make it happen.

Knicks emails.
