What makes the public angrier: Dog abuse or human abuse?

VICK 'EM Michael Vick, no friend to the canine

As the world waits to see if Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick files a plea bargain for dogfighting charges, it's safe to say he's already been convicted in the court of public opinion.

Allegations that Vick tortured and executed dogs for sport have infuriated fans, league officials, and even his own teammates. Vick's critics have been so unforgiving that a reporter in Pittsburgh went so far as to say that the player would have been "better off raping a woman." The reporter later apologized for his remarks but, based on people's vitriolic reactions, he may not have been so far off the mark.

It seems that Americans will tolerate certain things from their athletes—a sexual assault charge, stalking, the occasional domestic dispute—but they draw the line when it comes to their pooches. Does the public really value a pit bull over a woman? Radar has compiled a list of quotes to help you decide.
