I still eat eggs that come from battery hens, even though I do try to buy free range, and I wear leather, even though I only buy it used. Vick lost millions of dollars in income, spent hard time in prison, and faced public scorn for actions that did not lead to the abuse of one single human being. None of us is pure.
