Jamie Foxx: Wrong on Vick

i think that all of u peta people need to calm down. he appologized. leave the man alone world. Vick if u are reading this send me somthing to my email. HOLLA BACK

I just found out about Foxx's ridiculous comments. I like him as an actor but cannot believe he is SUCH AN IGNORANT MAN! I have lost ALL RESPECT FOR HIM and vow never to see another one of his movies again. Both Foxx and Whoopi Goldberg are crazy to put it nicely.

peta is full of it. they have their members dress up as playboy bunnies to protest petsmart's treatment of rabbits. I go in the supermarkets and there are dressed rabbits all the time. why aren't they there? they want to post things about Michael Vick but not about the kingpin of dogfighting. He's been called the "Godfather of dog fighting" the "dog fighting don" and even the "Babe Ruth of dog fighting." Since March 9 Floyd Boudreaux is being called something else an accused felon. On that day Louisiana State Police arrested Boudreaux one of the most infamous dog fighters and breeders in the United States along with his son Guy. The arrests which sent shock waves through the dog fighting world were the culmination of a threemonth effort by state and federal law enforcement agents The Humane Society of the United States and the Louisiana SPCA. Father and son were both charged with 57 felony counts of dog fighting and two counts of animal cruelty following an early morning raid on Boudreaux's property in Broussard Louisiana. In addition to the state felony charges Boudreaux and his son Guy could face federal charges for selling and transporting fighting dogs across state lines. All told they might spend a total of ten years in prison for each of the 57 charges. For 70yearold Floyd Boudreaux that might as well be a life sentence. Scarred Bodies and Temperaments What investigators found on Boudreaux's property is typical of serious fighting dog operations row after row of pit bulls each tethered by a heavy chain to a small ramshackle hut. Several sadfaced dogs bore a medley of deep scars on their muzzles and limbs the hallmark of hardened fighting dogs. Elsewhere in the compound investigators found wooden ramps and treadmills commonly used to train dogs in strength and endurance. Laura Maloney Louisiana SPCA director said it was heartbreaking to see the dogs tethered outside in rows of five wearing grooves into the muddy ground at the limit of their chains. Although most of the animals were healthy in spite of their scars several were extremely aggressive. Because of their unsuitability for adoption all of the adult dogs had to be euthanized. Implications for The Shady World of Dog Fighting What distinguished this bust from any other in recent years are its implications both immediate and longstanding for the world of dog fighting. Boudreaux is more than a backyard breederhe is one of the main purveyors of some of the world's top fighting dog lines. According to Sandy Christiansen regional coordinator for HSUS's Southeast Regional Office "Virtually every major bloodline of fighting dogs has the Boudreaux name somewhere in the pedigree. This guy's influence on the world of animal fighting has been huge." More than any other person Boudreaux has shaped the profile of the modern fighting dog. Specifically bred for maximum "gameness" a determination to fight on even in the face of certain death dogs from the Boudreaux line are considered topnotch animals in the fighting world fetching prices up to $10000. It's a quality that brought Boudreauxbred dogs accolades from dog fighting enthusiasts but little else. Even the most revered fighting dog lives the majority of his lonely life at the end of a short chain with no social interaction save grim excursions to the fighting pit or breeding stand. A Broussard neighbor said "What bothers me the most is that they're on threefoot chains. Big heavy chains. They spend their life under a chicken coop on a chain. That is not a life...that's horrible." Nobody is Untouchable As infamous as Boudreaux has been in the animal protection community he has been equally admired in the dog fighting subculture. As far back as the 1950s he appeared on the covers of animal fighting publications posing alongside prized fighting animals. Today his likeness graces tshirts and other coveted dog fighting memorabilia. It's no surprise then that Boudreaux's arrest has aroused rabid ire in the dog fighting world. Internet dog fightin

I cant believe this article. How in the world can any sane person compare a slave enforcing murdererPol Pot to a dog fighter Vick. But nobody ever said dog lovers were smart.... or right all of the time so you get away with one....

Will you goofball people stop claiming that those of us who love our animals don't love human life as well? Of course we do. What a ridiculous and assinine thing to say. The sad part is that the animals we care about have no voices other than their cries of pain and fear especially when inflicted by some dumbass getting his or her jollies. Don't insult me or anyone else who loves animals. They are the silent victims who can't defend themselves however I wouldn't feel much of a loss if a dog who's had enough abuse went for the jugular of someone trying to kill it and finished the job first. Respect all life of especially those lovely creatures who give you nothing but love. If you can live with yourself and do purposely harm or maim animals Lucifer will be more than happy to add you to his list of derilicts and then let you fry and suffer for a while. Karma has a strange way of showing its face so don't be surprised when it comes knocking on your door.
