It says a lot about values in our society...

Michael Vick is contemplating doing an announcement for PETA in order to appease the animal rights group. One of the conditions of Vick doing an advertisement for PETA would require the athlete to say that his involvement in animal abuse not only harmed his family, income and career but would also include the statement "and I'm going to go to jail, and you would, too."

Perhaps he should add: "So, instead, beat your girlfriends, date-rape your fans or kill your wives because you can buy your way out of jail time for those crimes."

I fear raising a daughter in a society where abuse of women draws less of an outrage than abuse of dogs.
