I'm not going to defend Casey Anthony, but she was found not guilty by the justice system, so using her in the topic is invalid. George Zimmerman did kill a minor, but it was not 1st or 2nd degree, nor was it manslaughter. Zimmerman did not kill him intentionally. Michael Vick killed a dog? No, he didn't just kill one dog, he started "Bad Newz Kennels" which.. [quote]housed and trained over 50 pit bull dogs, staged dog fights, killed dogs, and ran a high stakes gambling ring with purses up to $26,000[/quote] The conditions the dogs were in.. [quote]approximately 54 dogs, mostly pitbulls, some with scars and injuries; most were underfed about half of the dogs were chained to car axles and just out of reach of each other, a typical arrangement for fighting dogs a blood-stained fighting area animal training and breeding equipment, including a “-blam!- stand”, a device in which a female dog who is too aggressive to submit to males for breeding is strapped down with her head in a restraint a “break” or “parting” stick, used to pry open fighting dogs’ mouths during fights treadmills and “slat mills” used to condition fighting dogs assorted paperwork documenting involvement in animal fighting ventures performance-enhancing drugs commonly used to increase the fighting potential in dogs, as well as to keep injured dogs fighting longer.[/quote] He was [b]proven[/b] by our legal justice system of these things, therefore he had to pay the price. The evidence was all laid out to place him guilty. He was found guilty, Zimmerman and Anthony were not. Trying to say that dogs are more important than people in the eyes of Americans is not justified with the evidence you put forth.
