Don’t think that this is saying what Vick did is in any part OK. He did horrible things, he is a horrible person, and he should spend some good time in jail. At least 2-3. It is amazing to me, as a sidebar, that he could get anywhere from a year to 5 years, when that NBA ref is looking at 20+. They may have been just dogs, as some say, but, there is a difference between the brutality and killing of dogs Vick was involved in and simply betting and influencing games, eh?
Anyhow
The Center for Consumer Freedom on Monday charged People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) with hypocrisy because of PETA’s vocal criticism of NFL quarterback Michael Vick, who pleaded guilty to involvement in a dog fighting network.
In an ad published in The New York Times, the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) notes that Vick is under fire for the killing of eight dogs and mentions his involvement in an illegal dog fighting operation. The ad also says that PETA has been responsible for the killing of more than 14,400 dogs, cats, and other animals since 1998.
PETA "loves to point the finger at others, when they should be looking at their own record of killing more than 90 percent of the animals left in their care," the ad says, citing government records CCF has obtained from Virginia, where PETA is based.
"PETA has shamelessly used the horrific Michael Vick case to pad their group’s coffers, even though their track record of slaughtering thousands of helpless, adoptable animals is far more damning," CCF Director of Research David Matosko said in a statement. "Americans need to be aware of how PETA treats animals in their care and reject the group’s overt hypocrisy."
This does not excuse Michael Vick in any way. But it does highlight what hypocrites PETA are. You can see quite a bit of it over at PETA Kills Animals.
A problem with PETA is, like so many advocacy groups, they go way, way, way too far. It is a noble cause to keep people from treating animals pooryl. For some, I guess going vegan is OK. I’m not in to it, but, hey, to each their own. But things like worrying about crabs is absurd. And

LOL! I wonder if PETA realizes that fish are not animals? Kinda how the ACLU has forgotten that the A stands for American.
Do you have what it takes to be "too sexy for leather"? While one or two of the submissions are OK, the rest are kinda weird. I vote for Kitty. I wonder if she has a Mohammed tramp stamp?
Melissa is OK, as well, if you are in to the Goth thing.
