What does it take to put a 'Celebrity' behind bars?

For all of you lucky people who have never seen an organised dog fight. I can tell you that it takes a special kind of person who having seen one is not physically sick and doesn't have nightmares as a result.

My attention was drawn to the case of the American 'sportsman' Michael Vick and his involvement in this illegal 'sport'. It seems his lawyer is sorting out a deal so that the poor little love is not inconvenienced too much by contravening some boring old law. He is after all famous, surely laws only apply to 'little people'. It is only dogs that have died or been maimed so that's alright then.

Read the story and see the video here http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=8fd_1187417726&p=1

Vick then pleaded guilty http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a33_1187638783&p=1

And then the apologists came out of the woodwork. You have to listen to this guy. Did he listen to what Vick did? Is he from the same planet as the rest of us? How can he sleep at night defending people like this? "Mr Vick is a redeemable human being". Yeah, right! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=bf5_1187816021&p=1

And then we have the case of the rapper DMX who loved his multiple dogs so much he they were like family so, like you do, they were tied up and he didn't visit them for two months. Obviously these dogs were much loved family pets and not intended for any other purpose.http://www.usatoday .com/life/ people/2007- 08-24-dmx- dogs_N.htm? csp=34 Will he receive a substantial penalty at court?

Think Paris Hilton and all the other C list celebrities who drive around in an unfit state often without a licence. Think of Pete Doherty who's more likely to make the news if he wasn't in possession of drugs when stopped by the Police for some unpleasant behaviour or other. He must be on his tenth 'Last Chance' . The list is endless both sides of the Atlantic, actors, musicians, 'Super Models', sports personalities, children of the aforementioned. They assault people, steal (you have to fill the wardrobes in your mansion somehow), demand 'freebies', get unpleasantly and dangerously drunk, openly take drugs and laugh about it because they've just told the last judge that they've found God and turned their life around. They do all of that and more and expect to get away with it, and they do! Weak judges, weak prosecutors and we wonder why young people are killing one another at an alarming rate!

Young people need role models, well duh! Young people would pay a lot more attention if they saw that just because someone has been on tv in a reality programme or crawled into the underwear of some scrawny model they were not exempt from the law. No wonder so many young peoples only ambition is to be a 'celebrity'.

In between my clients and their dogs with behavioural problems I could happily fit in the job of Home Secretary, vote for me! I would have a simple philosophy, Bad things Happen to Bad People and not to Good People. Very Bad Things Happen to Very Bad People!

Finally if you really feel strongly about cruelty to dogs please sign my petition to Downing Street to ban cruel training aids such as spiked collars http://petitions.pm.gov.uk/Traumatised-Dogs/
