where does horse racing and dog fighting share a similarity other than the financial gains or losses? dog fighting is the brutal slaying of animals for money. horse racing is RACING not fighting. humans with broken legs are able to walk with crutches or a wheelchair because our species was so lucky enough to have those two upper extremeties. Vick is a criminal. he sponsored an illegal activity (dog fighting is illegal whilst horse racing is not) that required the euthanization of innocent dogs. he should be acting as a role model for youths and giving back to the community somehow instead of letting his gang-banging cousins and "brotha's" run a dog fighting operation. now hes sitting in jail "sorry" because his dumb ass wanted to make an extra buck, as if he wasnt making enough already. PETA thinks everyone should be tolerant of their beliefs and views when in fact they are intolerant of everything else.

That is about the worst comparison that I have ever seen. Do you have any idea why a horse is euthanized after breaking an ankle, not to mention 2? Lets start with the theory of gravity and weight. A horse is not like a dog (no relation to Vick) that can recover from these injuries because they are 1 ton animals, not 70 pound labradors. Their legs, when broken,can not handle that kind of thing. The vets did everything that they could possibly do for Barbaro, and in the end it was too painful, and no progress was being made. As for Eight Belles, those two thousand pounds would have never stood on top of those legs again with the horse not being in absolute pain. Keeping Eight Belles alive would have exponentially more painful to her, thus euthanasia being the right decision.
As all of this relates to michael vick, Horse Racing is a beautiful first class tradition with gorgeous horses doing what they were born to do, run as fast as they can and love every second of it. Dogfighting is an inhumane act of weakness that trains animals to be ferocious killers. This comparison to Vick is about is intelligent as Stephan Marbury's comparsion of Vick's actions to "white people killing deer."

These horses eat, sleep, and exercise better in two years than you will in your entire life. Vicks dogs are tied to a tree and beaten, shocked, and raped. Doing whats best for the horses life is not even in the same ballpark as throwing it in a pool to drown. You're out of your mind if you think horses are killed for losing as dogs are. Injuries are one thing however you seem to be looking at this as "just killed in general." And what countries legalize dog fighting??? Name 5. Forget it you have no shot. Name 2. And name a third world country in poverty and civil war and it's proof you are an even bigger clown than what you've already wrote so save it. As for recovery, a human wakes up from anesthia and begin rolling around in wheelchairs, beds and other devices because we can. Horses wake up from anesthia and begin running on four weight baring legs because they HAVE to. Barbaro was put in a sling and lowered into a pool to aid the process. They did everything in their power to keep him alive because he was a pure moneymaker. The only draw back in horse racing so to say Eighty Belles was killed out a cruelty is absurd. I guess you've never put a pet to sleep? You just let it suffer til it died huh? Thats cruelty. Accidents happen in horse racing, cruelty happens in dog fighting

The horse wasn't sent out there with intention of kill the other horse or be killed. You are the VILLAGE IDIOT.

Jesse cause Dog Fighting is Illegal and Horseracing is not. What part of that don't you understand. If that is the difference in culture then we have not come very far as a society. There is a right and wrong, and this is obvious.

Why aren't horse racing and dogfighting looked at the same way, you ask?
"People would have a fit if this was one of Mike Vick's dogs that he would have killed after it lost a dogfight. Then, the same people act like there is nothing wrong with horse racing just because it is accepted by the elitists and mainstream culture. However, horses are killed due to racing injuries just a pit bulls are killed from fighting injuries. I dont understand why one is so condemned while the other is always given a free pass. "
Because horse racing is about racing, and dogfighting is about dogs maiming/killing each other.
Dumbass.

I'd watch a horse fight.. Of course you'd have to train them the same way, let them chew on an old tire, run them on a treadmill, and put big spiked collars on them. Wait.. I think I saw that on a Family Guy..

Holy crap, are you really this stupid? This has to be one of the dumbest posts I've ever read, and that takes some doing.
"No one ever euthanizes a human who breaks both their legs"
Maybe they'd make an exception in your case?
Gee, I wonder if that brilliant statement has to do with being able to reason with a human and explain to them that they can recover.
Moron.
