People are very senstive to both dogs and babies. I guess because both represent pure unconditationaly love.

I've said this before (maybe earlier in this thread, sorry if I have); regardless of how you feel about dog fighting, Vick took part in an organized crime for a couple of years, even bank rolled it. Some mistakes are short, one night of bad judgement, but this went on for a long time.

If it weren't dog fighting, say he was caught dealing drugs & had been for a couple of years, it would still be more serious than if he'd used drugs like M. Jones.
