Michael Vick, the National Football League star, is jailed over dogfighting: RICHMOND — Michael Vick, the disgraced American football star who has
pleaded guilty over his role in an illegal dogfighting enterprise, was
sentenced to 23 months in prison.”
23 months doesn’t seem nearly enough, but at the same time, what good does that punishment do? Why not require him to make amends in a more meaningful way? His astronomical salary could be re-allocated to Humane Society and animal shelter locations, and he could be required to spend some time either working at those institutions or doing something more meaningful that sitting in a prison cell.
This is the federal verdict: perhaps the state case will yield something more productive.
