» What happened to Michael Vick's pit bulls? An update!
WHYY did an interview with Jim Gorant last Wednesday, author of Lost Dogs. At the beginning, he addresses the issue of whether it’s good use of resources to rehabilitate Vick’s dogs, considering just how many homeless dogs there are and how much work goes into rehab for dogs abused in dog-fighting. I think he and I agree that these dogs deserve a chance at a good life, and that this particular case did a lot to pit bulls in the public eye. One of the dogs is even a therapy dog in California! So awesome. They interview the “mother” of that dog. They say “mother,” OMG WHYY, you’re so cute!
Some people say that though it’s a terrible thing to happen to these dogs, it’s the best thing to happen to pit bulls in a long time. It brought so much attention to the disgusting world of dog-fighting and it also shed light on just how great pit bulls can be. Another point he raises is that, in this case, each dog is being evaluated individually to judge their temperaments. This is another positive step for pit bulls—it’s like Gorant says, you can’t be a breedist: “You can say some general things about breeds but you really have to go dog-by-dog, and that applies to pit bulls as much as anything else.”
What do you guys think? Any pit bull lovers/haters in the crowd? Anyone else an Eagles fan and Vick-hater like me? E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!

Puppy Bowl!!!! »
Videogum introduces the 2010 Puppy Bowl starting lineup!! Needs more !!!!!!!!
Why should you care about the Puppy Bowl? It is sponsored by disgusting-ass Pedigree, which is The Worst, and it’s all HEY PUPPIES without any of the HEY RESPONSIBILITY
parts, which is what leads to shit like spending $1,000 on a super-special puppy and abandoning it two weeks later when it pees on the floor and doesn’t stop barking when you yell at it.
HOWEVER: the majority of the puppy bowl players are mixed breeds. Further, you cannot be a human being with a heart and begrudge puppies their adorability. Look at Jersey Boy, he is basically a blonde otter. COME ON.
Even further, puppies are objectively more entertaining than dudes in shiny outfits knocking brain damage into each other. Professional football is no Friday Night Lights, and if you need to spend 10 hours with the television on while you bicker through a mouthful of seven-layer dip about who’s the better runner or whatever with your friends, I posit that puppies both make for superior background TV and subjects of debate.
Don’t argue with me, I am on the side of PUPPIES.
