Sorry,  I don't see the difference....  Micheal participated in a sport his culture allowed and fostered.  He kill a dog after an event.  

Horse racing is not for the benefit of the horses.  It's because Kings used it as sport for a long long time.  And not anything new about this but,  they killed a horse after an event.

Please point out the difference.  Don't say the dogs get injured, because so do the horses.

LET HIM OUT!!!!  AN ANIMAL IS NOT HUMAN!!!!!!!!

Difference: the purpose of a horse race is to see which animal is faster, not to determine which animal can tear the other to shreds.

He can come out, as long as it's in a body bag.

If you don't see the difference between Vick and horse racing then you belong in there with him.

The horse injury was an accident unlike the dog's injuries.  It's not the norm.  You don't have that happen every race but for every dog fight there is a loser, and that loser is put down.

They also put the horse down humanely w/ letha injections they didn't shoot, electrocute and beat the horse to death, unlike Vick.  He's a cold blooded, heartles monster.

Bye, bye Vick.  You're done in the NFL son.

The horse was shot to put it out of it's misery.  You don't follow horse racing because if you did you would realize that last year, I think, they tried to rehabilitate another horse that broke it leg, Barbaro.  All of their efforts and no matter the amount of cash spent was not enough to make the horse comfortable enough to be put out to stud, yes that is where that term is derived from.  In otherwords the owner of Barbaro tried to make that horse comfortable enough to just mate with other horses and it was still too painful for the horse that never recovered from a broken leg.

They shot the horse only because it would be more torture to the animal to try and nurse it back to health than put it out of it's misery.  Plus a champion thoroughbred will not race if it is treadted poorly, on the other side of the coin a fighting dog will not fight well unless mistreated and abused.  Eight Belles wasn't killed because it finished second in the Kentucky derby, like the dogs killed because they didn't fight other dogs well enough.  In Micheal Vicks case the dogs were put out of their misery if they did poorly and were continually tortured if they did well, quite the opposite of horse racing.

I concur with what Axe and Strange already said. 

Look no further than Barbaro to see how the horses in a race are treated.  It's almost a crime how much care was given to that horse when so many humans in the US are without health insurance (And are actually employed full time.) 

Of course, you can leave your job and find a new one, thus I said almost. ;)

The other point is, Barbaro...had he pulled through....would likely have lived out the rest of his days grazing peacefully on hay and trotting along in some green meadow.  The type of animals Michael Vick was boarding couldn't really have been given to some nice family of five looking for a cuddly and fun loving dog.

It doesn't matter if something is/was part of your culture....it matters if it is illegal.  If a guy  from the Fore tribe of New Guinea came over here he could not continue to eat the remains of their relatives.  It doesn't matter if my Great-Grandfather legally purchased and used Laudanum that he purchased over the counter back in the early 1900's.....I certainly cannot do so now.
