Michael Vick did not make "a mistake." He did not use "bad judgment." He did not exercise "poor choices." He ran a long-term, well-planned, well-funded criminal enterprise that was awesome in its cruelty. It's been two years since his arrest. And time can dull the outrage. So let's revisit the victims. Of the 49 dogs saved, only one was so vicious it had to be euthanized. Twenty five went directly to experienced, carefully selected foster homes. The remaining 21, mainly because they were animal-aggressive, went to rehab at Dogtown, a state-of-the-art, no-kill sanctuary in Utah. A few will live out there lives there. The rest are expected to be adopted. A number have become therapy dogs -- surprising unless you know pit bulls are, by nature, slobberingly affectionate toward people.
