Did My Answer Deserve This Response?

He asked:

What would you do to michael vick and his buddies if convicted?
is jail good enough for this heinous crime?

My answer:

I don't believe the maximum punishment for a crime of this nature is justice.
Men need to realize we share this planet equally w/ the animal world. For the most part, these animals are defenseless.
Mysterious animal deaths and mutations tip man off to the changing environment. This is a sign to man to make adjustments to prevent further disturbances of the sensitive eco-structure that man is responsible for. Animals are important and shouldn't be abused in a death match for man's entertainment.
If a man can go to jail for 5yrs. because he posessed 10 g of cocaine, then Michael Vick should do 10 yrs. because there is no victim for the crime of possessing cocaine.

He emailed:

鈥?f*d up rationale is this? vick 鈥eeds鈥unished鈥?i don't need a long, boring, stupid, and insane discourse on it鈥ou鈥oped up鈥o to detox

Yahoo Answers forum encourages more than a simple answer ... most askers want details and reasoning to support your answer.
Man鈥檚 destruction of the environment and deprivation of natural habitat to animals is cruelty to them 鈥?just like forcing pit bulls into a death match.
These topics are related. I saw an opportunity to plug against man's irresponsible behavior in hopes of raising awareness on related issues.
If more ppl thought this way the world would be a better place.

No, I don't think you deserved such a hostile answer. This guy is attacking you personally and making judgments about you based solely on a couple sentences you wrote.

I honestly don't understand his reaction, because if he thinks dog fighting is so heinous, I would think he'd agree with what you say about animals being important and not being abused for man's entertainment.

If I were you, I'd forget about it. The over-reaction of a total stranger online isn't worth your time...

IMO, Mr. (and I use the term loosely) Vick should receive the exact treatment that the dogs got.

LOL! no it didnt. But who cares I would of laughed so hard if I got that in my email. Just go about your day with a big smile on your face knowing that you made some weird guy upset.

An Idiot just happened to read your answer, life is full of them, and it was just your bad luck to come across that one.
Don't let it bother you

You did kind of go a bit off topic, but I think that's a bit harsh.

yep it does...from a sports fanatic. but the response needs to actually make 2 sentences!!!!! so no and yes!

wow i think that guy needs detox. i think vick should be beaten to where he is almost dead let him recover then do it again and again. and then throw his a$$ in jail to rott.

No!!!!!!! Who sent you that response?

no but your answer was a bit odd for my opinion

Ah! sounds like his mind was made up and he didn't want to be confused with facts doesn't it.
But you have to keep in mind that dog fighting is and has been a sport in rural areas of all regions of the country for generations. They do not see anything wrong with it.

No not at all, for some it hurts their brain to read intellegent comments on any subject. Carry on

Yes pretty much . All you PETA types are out of your damn minds!!

I can admit that maybe his response may be a little extreme, but that last comment that you made stating "that there is no victim for the crime of possessing cocaine" was pretty lame, actually it was ridicioulus. You answered his question, but I think that maybe he wanted something more direct like " yes I think he should got to jail because".. some people are just like that.

OBVIOUSLY AN INSANE MEMBER.

lol, you got to roll with the punches man, dont be soft
its a heated topic. plus the law is jacked depending on who you ask, yes he would get more if he had 10 g of cocaine but if he murdered a black man he would get half that if not probation, it is what it is, dont be part of a witch hunt

Yes.

Your environmental concerns are completely out of context in regards to this question.

Well, it was your fault for offering your opinion like he asked you to (joke). Just sleep easy tonight knowing you can actually form a sentence.
