There are two issues here. The cruelty he expressed towards animals most assuredly expressed itsself in his dealings with humans.
I agree to an extent that more people care about a dumb dog than an unborn child or a kid on the streets or in an abusive home, but for me the equation is this;
Killing dogs = very big deal.
Killing/raping/fucking up people = DEATH PENALTY MATERIAL
I think one can be both upset with Vick and his killing of innocent dogs and STILL hate the animals that prey on children and women.
I am as hard-core as it comes to crimes against children, but I can still be angry with Vick's brutality and I hate PETA and animal rights whack jobs, bt Vick's crimes were especially heinous.
Again many people who abuse animals will abuse humans.
Who knows who his next victim may have been, PLUS a big factor here is the man was so blessed and yet he continued to live the thug life and maintained his arrogant disregard for the law all while being paid over ONE HUNDRED MILLION dollars to play a sport that he really wasn't the top dog in (no pun intended)
You need to factor that in as part of the rage that a man who had it all would stoop to such barbaric behavior.
At least that's my view of the issue
