Murder Isn’t The Right Word For What Vick Did

 I think what Michael Vick did to those dogs was horrific.  Killing those dogs via hanging them and electrocuting them was monstrous, but it wasn't murder because you can only murder a human being.

I heard Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie use the word "murder" when he addressed the media last week, but that word isn't appropiate.

I was in the media room in the Eagles Nova Care Complex a moment ago, checking out ESPN's Jim Rome show and one of his guests said Vick murdered those dogs.

In the Merriam-Webster's dictionary the word "murder" is defined as folllows,"the crime of unlawfully killing a person with malice afterthought."

Taking the life of a dog isn't the same as taking the life of a human being.

The local animal shelters around the country have killed millions of dogs because nobody has been willing to adopt them.  Is this murder?  It's sad but it's not murder. 

I don't like the thought of blurring the lines between the value of a human life and the value of a dog's life.
