Vick and Veal

In a shadowy, secretive world animals are "crammed...into filthy windowless sheds, wire cages, gestation crates, and other confinement systems." They undergo "neglect, mutilation, genetic manipulation, and drug regimens that cause chronic pain and crippling" all for the decadent delight of humans.

Meat, people. It's where we get our meat.

Why is Michael Vick going to jail for supporting a system no worse than the one we sustain when we order a hamburger?

Is it because dogs are cute? Is it because the people who run dog fights are either rich and obnoxious or scary, poor and black?

Well, rich and obnoxious people order veal all the time, but no one's slapping cuffs on 'em.

I'm on Vick's side. And I don't even like football.
