Remember the other day when we told you how Whoopi Goldberg spent her first day on The View defending Michael Vick and casually brushing off his puppy-murdering tendencies as merely a "Southern" thing? Well, surprisingly, after the show, a couple reporters had a few questions for Whoopi, who explains she was just trying to bring everyone a "different perspective."
"Just so he's not this monster," Goldberg said. "He's a wonderful guy who was involved in something terrible. I'm not excusing it, I'm just saying, listen, I believe his apology … and maybe this will be a huge wakeup call to a lot of people doing this."
She's right, this could totally be a huge wakeup call! Especially for all those crazy Southern dogfighters who never miss an episode of The View. And, of course, for those plucky headline writers over at the New York Daily News.

whoopi goldberg is right - dogfighting isnt that big a deal - when there's so much human suffering in the world, isnt that more important?
We all eat meat, dont we? Dont millions of animals suffer so we can have it? Why dont people care THEN? Why is Mr Vick being persecuted and reviled this way? (Hint: racism)!
