I don't think it's fair to say that, in my opinion when it comes to animals people NEED to speak on their behalf, because an animal obviously can't fight for justice. Like BlackCrayon said, many people view animals in the same regard as children: More or less innocent, defenseless and vulnerable. And as far as people complaining that Vick doesn't deserve too much prison time for what he chose to be involved with, I think that the penalties for animal cruelty need to be raised in most states and even Canada. Think of it this way.. it takes a "special" kind of person to be able to carry out these acts of cruelty against animals. People lacking compassion to that degree are probably equally capable of doing something similar to a human.
