Subject: [ar-ga] Eukanuba's spokeperson - Dog Fighting - 'Fabric of America'
Vick had a "bad error in judgement" If you aren't already boycotting
Eukanuba for experimenting on dogs, then this should help you make a decision.

Once 'fabric of America' J.T. Thomas representing the event's sponsor, pet
food maker Eukanuba offered a tempered viewpoint. It's because of Vick's own
background suggested Thomas, a younger brother of the 1960s-era Oilers
cornerback W.K. Hicks that people should attempt to understand how the former
Virginia Tech star could have become involved.
"Once upon a time dogfighting, just like cockfighting, used to be a part of
the fabric of America," said Thomas, of Pasadena. "Just like with a lot of
other things, loopholes have been closed. It sometimes takes people awhile to
understand what you used to do and what you can do now aren't always one in the
same. Sometimes you have to learn this the hard way, and that's happening with
him. This was not murder. This was not a capital crime. This was, possibly, a
bad error in judgment. We can make a federal case out of it if we want to, but
whatever happened, we have to let justice take its course. (Vick's) argument is
that he was not knowledgeable about what was going on.
"I myself am a man of color. But, if a man is wrong, he's wrong. I'm not
going to jump on his bandwagon because he's Michael Vick. It's unfortunate
people in America tend to worship success and don't always realize that just
because someone is successful financially they may not be successful morally,
socially or spiritually."
