Vick's Dog Meat

The lamestream media told you:
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has pled guilty to federal dog-fighting charges. The star football player has been disgraced, humiliated, and will probably never play again due to his horrific and inhumane behavior to those poor wittle adorable puppy wuppies.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:
In an apparent breach of protocol and ethics, reporters failed to ask federal prosecutors in the Vick case, "Where exactly does the U.S. Constitution give the federal government power over dog fights?"

Critics asked how the news media could ride such a high horse over one man's preference in sport, which hurts no one human, when they promote human conflict, violence, sodomy, adultery and crime of every description on a nearly non-stop basis. Anchors and editors actually seemed to be enjoying a holier-than-thou tirade against the unfortunate black man singled out of many who participate in such animal sports.

Showing admirable multicultural sensitivity, reporters acknowledged and disregarded widespread vicious-dog fighting in Mexico and other nations, because it's part of their culture, and needs our tolerant understanding.

In China, dogs are raised to be butchered and eaten for their food value, also acceptable as part of the diverse culture in which we live. People who know say dogs taste like chicken.

In Zimbabwe however, where government policy has led to mass starvation, people are eating dogs and other pets, to an outcry of outrage from the international "community" and others. "Just because people are starving to death doesn't mean they can just eat whatever's around," said one commentator interviewed in a restaurant.

Breathless reports that Vick "executed" some dogs is an apparent error, since killing animals cannot be execution. Execution is actually a judicial process, involving charges, courts and death-penalty sentences for heinous human criminals. Animals cannot legally be charged with crimes, though if they harm people, they can be "put to sleep," but without a trial.

While Vick was being publicly charged by "news" commentators with executions (of dogs), at least three American cities had more than 100 murders each (of human beings), largely ignored by the "news" media, possibly because the victims were mostly underclass gang members. Many of the victims, like Vick, were black, though exact figures have not been reported.

The olden principle that man is the master of the animals, long popular in America, has not been raised. The implications for bacon, Big Macs, chicken soup, hot dogs and steak, which is for dinner, all of which require massive execution of animals (and vegetables), was unclear at press time.

Rumors that PETA will be using Vick as a poster child could not be confirmed, though sources said if he is used, it will not be as a poster "boy."

Even though you are attacking the media and not defending Vick, there is one simple fact you seemed to have neglected here. These animals were not painlessly killed, and the were not killed for food (like when you hunt) these dogs were rtortured and forced to fight. These animals were not put in a field to peacefully graze, they where not trained to guard anything or help anyone they were trained to kill or suffer the consequences, which quite frankly a quick painless death would have been better. Attack the media for not covering bigger and broader issues, I completely agree with that (watch BBC and Pbs news, turn off the american networks) but it is simply ignorant to compare fighting and torturing pets to raising lifestock.
