[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 728756, member: 60724"] SST, baseballs, like many Nike shoes, are made out of leather. We kill cows for this purpose and it gives us pleasure, yet we could make baseballs and Nike shoes out of substances that animals wouldn't have to die for. Michael Vick killed dogs for his pleasure. We rationalize the difference, but at their core, they are all the same. Man is at the top of the pyramid and we pick and choose what we kill and don't, beneath us, and somehow some of it is good, and some of it is bad. That's the arbitrary-ness to it that I see. Does that mean I don't want to kill cows? Nope! But it DOES mean that I see little difference, at its core, between killing a cow and killing a dog. Vick, IMHO, and anyone else that kills an animal, should be charged with destruction of property, at worst, and if it is their own property, then they should be able to do with it as they like (okay...go ahead...chew on that a while).
