I'm sure Mr. Vick will get a well-deserved shellacking for his involvement in fighting dogs by both the Left and Right.

However, what we need to make sure doesn't happen is that the use of dogs in "our" blood sport (bird hunting) doesn't get caught up in the same furor. To a lot of people, dogs biting birds is every bit as objectionable as dogs biting dogs.

We need to have calm logical arguments for how our use of dogs is different.
