He did not pay for his crimes. I tell all my friends "Never buy Nike and tell all your friends." This guy (I can't even say his name), the more publicity he gets, the potential for more people to see that it's okay to abuse/kill/electrocute and get a slap on the wrist.

How could any parent feel good about their child/ren looking up to this man (and I use the term man very loosely)in any way?? This definitely is not someone that deserves any celebrity status, being an idol to children or, the pay check he receives!<br /><br />I think he should have had to face the same torture many of his dogs had to endure but of course, this 'eye for an eye' penalty is no longer acceptable. I have always felt that part of his sentence should have been caring for the survivors at Best Friends EVERY day!! Having to care for them properly, helping to rehabilitate them and, looking them in the eye on a daily basis should do something positive to even the blackest heart! <br /><br />OK, enough of my thoughts on this subject I guess but I too, will NEVER watch an Eagles game again; even LONG after he may be gone! I have NO respect for them ang their team will never grace my TV screen again.<br /><br />Tammy HartwigTammy Hartwignoreply@blogger.com
