Dallas Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem
Dwaine Caraway has landed in the national spotlight after giving disgraced Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick a key to the City of Dallas.
"You deserve it, you've earned it," Caraway said as he presented the key to Vick, while an audience of children watched.
Dogs are more important to the lives of children. And someone that has done this to a dog like Lucas and 22 other dogs should not ever receive a key to the City of Dallas. The Best Friends Animal Society in Utah, the group rehabilitating Michael Vick's dogs should receive a formal key to the City of Dallas--if anyone should.
Radio host
Richard Hunter, who says he adopted one of Vick”s former fighting dogs, posted a video of what appears to be a confrontation with Vick’s entourage after the quarterback was
presented with the key. In the video, Hunter of 1190 AM Dallas/Fort Worth asks Vick to answer questions and look at a picture of “Mel” the dog. He appears to be cursed and pushed around by Vick’s bodyguards one of whom says: “We don’t care about the dog." Click on this link to view the video:

CNN REPORTS JULY 17, 2007: Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick faces criminal charges and a possible prison sentence for allegedly participating in an enterprise that trained pit bulls for death matches in which spectators bet on the outcome, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday. Vick, 27, and three associates were indicted by a federal grand jury in Richmond, Virginia, on a conspiracy count alleging they bought and sponsored dogs in an animal fighting venture and traveled across state lines to participate in illegal activity, including gambling. According to the indictment, dogs that didn't show enough fighting spirit, or that lost matches, were put to death by a variety of methods, including shooting, drowning, hanging and electrocution. Prosecutors allege that on one occasion earlier this year, Vick participated in killing eight dogs.
Yesterday's buoyancy and exuberance may not be as easy to experience today for several reasons. Right off the bat, Mercury in Aquarius makes a potentially caustic, 45-degree tie to its higher-octave, guardian planet Uranus (12:18AM PST). This type of aspect usually equates with a rise in nervous tension in the psychic atmosphere. However, you may be able to tweak this sky pattern into offering you ingenious ideas across the board. About five hours later, Mars in Aquarius makes a similar tie to its distant cohort-in-volatility Pluto (5:26AM PST). Once Pluto was discovered in 1930, astrologers quickly saw a linkage between this god of the underworld and the maddening energies that are often associated with the red planet. When Mars and Pluto act together as possible mischief-makers, everyone feels the heat to some extent. Being too bossy, pushy or otherwise egocentric can turn your weekend into more of a battle than a joyful celebration. Think before you speak and use words to heal - not harm. Today's saving grace arrives tonight as a grand triangle in air signs manifests when the Moon in Gemini trines Mercury in Aquarius (6:09PM PST) as well as Ceres in Aquarius (8:24PM PST), and then moves on to trine Saturn in Libra (10:11PM PST). It doesn't always happen that a morning filled with potential challenges shifts gears into an evening filled with potential promises and heightened productivity across the board. Take advantage of the golden opportunities being offered to you as the three air signs of the zodiac interweave their influences throughout the night.
