As a Falcons fan, I suppose I should say something about Mike Vick’s indictment. But Balko says what I want to say:
According to the indictment, losing dogs were drowned, hanged, or covered in water, then electrocuted.
Guess we’ll wait for the trial to see the extent of Vick’s involvement. But if he was? The hell with him. And no, I don’t think there’s anything unlibertarian about laws against animal cruelty.
If this is true, I’m very happy to throw Mike Vick under a bus. What a waste. I was so excited when the Falcons signed him. I was at UVa when he was clobbering us from VT and watched him bring the Hokies to within a trace of a championship (Peter Warrick shouldn’t have been playing anyway).
I really thought he’d be something. Just not . . . this.
