There are between 20,000 and 40,000 people in the U.S. who participate in dog fighting activities. If we average the two numbers, one-one hundredth of one percent of the U.S. population is involved in dog fighting. By contrast, 31% of women in the U.S. - about 49 million - report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives. Nearly 25% of U.S. women - about 38.25 million -report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime.

Dog fighting or abuse of women? You tell me which issue is more important.

You tell me why Tom Lantos (D-Ca.) feels the need to speak out against Michael Vick and dog fighting, but not against Patrick Kerney or his friends and the rape and physical abuse of women?
Michael Vick-Patrick Kerney: The Difference Comes Down to One Issue « The Starting Five

Quite the double standard.

And BTW, here is the Patrick Kerney story:

ATLANTA -- Police are investigating a woman's claims she was raped at the home of former Atlanta Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney.
