At least the poster posting the smear about peta and the peta kills crap should point out the source of that smear- a lowlife tobacco lobbyist who is shadier than an organized crime thug

http://www.consumerdeception.com

He puts out most of the smear and lies about different humane grioups, and he lobbies for people like dog fighter breeders. His lobbying money receipts also disappears into a hole while you and I pay our taxes.

I just wanted to add that the USDA released info that Vick stole people's pets and tossed them in with his pit bulls to tear to pieces and laugh.

I agree with Erv on this one:

"I think that 23 months is overkill. Now let's be real. We all have heard of cases where pedophiles, rapists, or even murderers get less time than Vick. I just think that they went about punishing him in the wrong way. I believe Michael Vick is just as damaged (his thought process) as those dogs, and needs the proper rehabilitation. I think a lot less jail and more volunteer work with abused animals would have been a far better punishment."

sometimes people just dont know any better... now i still think he is worse than dog shit... and i wouldnt let him near my dog... but move one...

PETA does not decide for me! I hate Michael Vick all by myself! I hear a cute dog two doors down. He cried all night long. He is chained to a tree. I would love to treat each person like they treat their pets. I want to go down there pull her out of her house, take a chain and tie her outside with it 30 degrees. I want to here her howl and cry. This dog was kept inside till now. My neighborhood has so changed. You can take people out of the caves but you cannot take the cave out of the people some of them anyways. I have to move where civilized people live. My neighborhood has gone so downhill. "Yes, we can change" the way you live if we move in next door! I got to get some sleep before I get arrested for beating the crap out of that stupid woman down the street. I am too sick for this. ARGGGHHHHH>

Growing up I had white mice for pets. I loved them just as much as I love these dogs I have. They did tricks and lived in my shirt pockets. I ate with them and slept with them. Mice make great pets.

All people can change and if Mr. Vick would donate all of his salary over living expenses to animal shelters I can forgive him. Do You think he would play that way??? I think not. He probably has a dog tied to his tree right now but near someone else's house not his. He is the worst of worst. He sends the signal that with bling .........You can screw anything and everything over....That is wrong. He was a symbol to our young and he took that and destroyed an image and told young people this is alright. I have kids on  my street, walking the street with their pitbulls on chains and I hear the howls of dog fighting not far from my home. Its always Saturday night and the police just do not hear it as they happen to walk in the same said house alot.....I suspect a payoff or rather loyal fans. I am on a rant I got to go get that dog loose its driving me crazy!!!!!

VICK will never get any respect from me. I will never watch a game Vick is in. I can only speak for myself. I will boycot the sponsors of any of Vick's teams. I promise you That and if any sponsors read this keep in mind. YOU LOOSE MONEY! Your bottom line. Profits will be down. YOU MAY GO UNDER. There are a thousand Vicks that can play that well. You SUPPORT CRUELTY to animals if you support VICK thats the way the public will see it. Maybe the ranchers who shove down cows to slaughter that YOU eat! will want him just to say "Hey we are not so bad, so look at him not us!"

Okay before I go to jail cause I am headed out the door right now to see the neighbor I have to say its been fun and if I win the car please use it to make my bond. Oh forget it. I cannot even walk that far. I hate being sick. I will put cotton in my ears and  stay safe in my bed and not in jail. God let me get well? I have butts still to kick! ARGHHHH.

PETA is total hypocrites.  They received 1,997 animals in 2007 - only 17 were not put to sleep.  That's disgusting.  Read the truth about them at petakillsanimals.com.  They are total scum.

Actually Tom12, I've done more than read about these dogs but have seen them and worked with them. I can tell you first hand, they are not miserable but thriving.

Animal rights is just another religion.  Its interesting the amount of condemnation Vick has grabbed from average Joe and Jill hamburger eater for fighting and beating a dogs to death.   It is also interesting that the NFL, a league ripe with murderers (Joe Lewis et al) women beaters (Popeye Jones et al) just plain retards (too many to count) and rapists (again too many to count), chooses to make an example of someone who was fighting dogs.  I am not defending what Vick did, I am merely stating that it sends a bad message to well.. everyone that loves good football and abhores violence towards women.   We, All us Americans, need to get our prorities straight.

Who is PETA to tell the NFL what they should do with Michael Vick?

A very SAD story all-around I think..

OPmary:

Have you read anything about these dogs? They got their second chance and the rehabilitators are talking about how miserable they are. They are beyond traumatized. Tortured since BIRTH, you can't get normal when you don't know normal. It's not ironic that PETA and HSUS said they should be euthanized. PETA deals with chained dogs and fighting dogs daily and they know what it means for those dogs, and irony isn't the word you're looking for. It's educated.

How Ironic that PETA wants him to be sorry for what he did, yet they were the first on the bandwagon to euthanize all of the dogs that were taken from him. They and the HSUS said the dogs were beyond rehabilitation, too viscous to be trusted. Hmmm....Are they sorry for what they said? Have they come out and said we were wrong and that dogs from fight busts should be given a chance just like any other confiscated dog?

Honestly, Vick is scum. It is true.  I also think he should be given a second chance.  He is a very exciting player to watch. On a lighter note, I miss playing with him in Madden.

Vick is low on the scum totem pole.

Do I think he should burn in hell for what he did?  No.  Like Sean said, people make mistakes, some bigger than others, and his was huge, but people do deserve second chances.

But it just seems like that family is screwed up anyway, or just can't get the 'street' mentality out of their mind.  Remember his brother?

It would take a VERY long time for me to ever change my mind about him, but I never liked him or his brother to begin with.

Ray Lewis is a good example.  I remember thinking during his whole murder ordeal, I would never respect anyone with his character, but I have to now.  He don't seem to get in trouble, he's a dedicated player, and a role model at least on the field for people wanting to know how to play the game.

Vick on the other hand, I just don't know...

Oh, and the PETA people, yeah, they're just crazy radicals.  It's pitiful when you can be so hipocritical.

Whatever.

What he did was cruel and cold-hearted but I don't believe it's a reason to fear him doing anything to any person. Vick has never done anything like that in the past and he's certainly not the only person that has ever organized something like this.

If the Pope forgave the man who shot him, then hell.... give Vick another chance. Again, I only care for what he does on the football field, nothing else should be relevant.

I think its time for PETA to get off the Vick bandwagon. He has paid his dues and he should be allow to play football and move on. I know it was dogs that was ki8lled and while I'm not saying he shouldn't pay for what he did but at the same time it was dogs and I do believe a human's life is more than a dog.

Why doesn't PETA go find the other scumbags that are doing this to and let go of their "golden goose".

I am a PETA supporter. Not a lunatic radical either.

Everyone deserves a second chance if what they did was sufficiently paid for. If Vick were fighting, beating, and killing people, or children they'd be talking about why this dude is even allowed to LIVE. The point is that he senselessly took lives and people are dismissing because yes, it is heinous.. but oh it's "just dogs.." Please. This dude deserves a lot more than he got and a damn psych evaluation with a little while in jail is hardly justice for the lives taken and the minds tortured.

Have you read about the dogs they tried to rehab after being rescued from the hell he created?

Get off it.
