Thank you, I hope he follows though and becomes an advocate for the animals. Maybe he can help dogs and then expand and help all animals, become vegan and be a better person. Only time will tell.
HSUS already employs former dogfighters to educate inner-city kids about pit bulls and the fact that they are not "bred to fight" as a lot of people think. I don't see why everyone is up in arms about HSUS' decision to use Vick. He could do a lot of good. Only time will tell.
i think it's a good idea for HSUS to help Michael Vick, cause it shows that people can change and that just because they made a bad choice doesnt mean their a bad person...
Michael Vick is a dick. He should nto be able to go back in the NFL. Even if he is truley sorry, he needs to know this is not right. Jail for like 2 years is not a good punishment. He helped kill the dogs for pete sakes!
I think it's very sad an organization that is supposed to help animals has helped Vick get his NFL job back. Now America's young are attracted to bad boys-with a bad economy they will want to do the VICK thing and get their own pit bulls and start up their own dog fighting rings. Making $50,000 to $100,000 per dog fight is a powerful lure, and now a DOG FIGHTER will be playing for the prestigious NFL. This supports dog fighting, not against it.
The Federal legislation regarding interstate involvement of dog fighting being a Federal crime, was passed PRIOR to Vick getting arrested for dog fighting, which President Bush signed to law a few months prior to that Vick arrest. Vick had nothing to do with that.
True-Vick didn't get that law passed (Federal offense to have interstate dog fighting). That law was passed, signed by George W.Bush, prior to Vick getting arrested. Otherwise the Feds would have never been able to use the interstate dog fighting law. John Kerry did propose a federal bill to toughen dog fighting laws after Vick's arrest, but it never went anywhere and is a dead bill. Once Vick plays NFL again-dog fighting is going to rise sharply-a dog fighter will be USA's role model
Even PETA dumped Vick back in November 2008 once they seen the USDA report that Vick enjoyed throwing in family pets into dog fighting rings because he thought it was funny. In fact I even mailed you that USDA report, which apparently did not move you. You are 100% responsible for helping Vick get his old NFL job back and helped put a DOG FIGHTER as role model for our nation's children-as Vick is synonymous with dog fighting-they will want to fight dogs.
No what they should have done is make Vick donate 25% of his NFL earnings to local animal shelters to help homeless animals. You know that will never happen.
