As for Stallworth, you'll get no argument from me. Stallworth, however, is not being recast as the victim. etc. etc.

I disagree with you. For some reason our country is preoccupied with giving animals rights that go above and beyond those of a human being.
if Michael Vick had killed a person, even if it were murder, he would not have near as bad as a rep right now. For some reason people dont care when people kill other people, but the fact that he did crimes against dogs, make him the scum of the earth in peoples mind. Why?? Show me where else on planet earth do they put animal rights above those of a human being.
Stallworth killed a man, accident or no accident, DRUNK DRIVING that results in someone's death is still criminal, and in some states can actually be considered negligent homicide.
So the bottom line is, Vick was punished far beyond the normal limits when someone commits a crime against a person. and i think thats messed up.
