: Is there anyone else out there that thinks the AKC should be ashamed of themselves for not speaking up about the Michael Vick dog-fighting saga? Now that the dust is settling from this case, I'm surprised to see that list of lamenters, either on the air on in print, never included the AKC. Wow, I mean we had PETA and countless other animal rights groups on CNN, Fox, and every other media outlet known to man almost every night over the last few months. Even NFL fans and NFL Players’ Association spoke out. Where are the AKC representatives? They should be ashamed. What a crap, snob organization.
It was a high profile case , everyone wanted to get their licks in, apparently the AKC figured enough already did.A dog got shot in the head in Pittsburgh and had it's paw cut off.I didn't see any organizations make a big deal over that. If it would have been Joe Buffna instead of Mike Vick no one would have said anything either.
