<font size="2">Federal authorities have control of 53 of the dogs, all pit bulls (local authorities have the other 13), and if no one claims legal ownership of them by Thursday, a federal judge will decide what happens to them.

Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... It's a shame, but it's for the best. It would be too risky to try and place those dogs in a home.
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... This story just keeps getting worse for animal lovers.
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... Granted what Vick did was gruesome, but I don't see how people in the justice system who are riding the moral high ground in the case can be ok with this. Vick gets sentenced for killing dogs...and we'll do the same thing. Yes theres a difference in how its done, but the end result is the same.
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... PETA in 3...2...1..

Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... Death though? Just kill them? There's NO other solution? I don't know man...</p> Especially given the circumstances; it just seems weird that after 'saving' them by a man who was killing them for sport....they'd just turn around and kill them themselves.</p> </p>
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... You cant let them out on society, they were trained to be agressive...pit bulls have a bad rep anyway, which is total crap, because they arent agressive animals, they just have physical attributes that make them good hunting andfighting dogs....its the ethical duty of the authorites to destroy these dogs, but inas humane a way as possible
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... Nah I completely understand the reasoning behind the decision. It just doesn't fit completely right given the circumstances. My opinion is more comentary than moral objection.
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... there's gotta be some use for these dogs, other than to kill them.</p> use them as police dogs, in the army, give them to hunters, something.</p>

Hunting dogs have special skills and discipline as well. These dogs must be put down or whoever makes the decision to let them live needs to be held criminally and financially liable for any brutal attack that one of dogs commits against a human or animal should they ever get loose. That's the key for me. Vick has turned them into unpredictable monsters and no one else should have to suffer as a result of his crime and there is no one who can guarantee that one of those beasts won't ever get loose if they are left alive. Don't get me wrong. I hate that these poor dogs have to be put down because of Vick and his croanies stupidity, but it's too late to save them. You can't make them unagressive. As far as I'm concerned the blood of these dogs are on the hands of Michael Vick and his croanies. He's the one who has killed them.</p>
Re: Order to Euthanize 53 Pit Bulls Taken From Michael Vick’s Property Could C... Im a big fan of dogs and other animals, so this whole thing pisses me off. "Death to Vick." <=D
