Again Mr Vick, I say to you…it’s not about YOU! It’s not about how you pick yourself up..it’s about all those innocent dogs you chose to brutally murder. And for the record…he did not “do his time”. The time he spent in prison was for bankrolling the whole operation, not for killing those precious animals. He still won’t admit that he was wrong or express any regret for commiting torturous acts of murder. If he hadn’t been caught, he would still be participating and feeling no remorse. This man is not a role model, he is not someone the public needs to “get to know better”. He is scum and should be treated as such.

Minista if you think this was a mere mistake you are as bad as Vick. It was not a mistake because Vick DELIBERATELY TORTURED AND MURDERED LIVING CREATURES TO GET MONEY. It is abundantly proven that people who do this to animals eventually move on to doing it to humans. No doubt you would think that a mere “mistake” too.

With people like Vick and like you, Minista, inthis country I wish desperately I had enough to move to some other country where the majority of the population is actually relatively morally human and not walking talking EVIL.

So we’re setting out to teach kids that you can behave any way you please, break the law, go to prison, serve your time, get your old job back and become a celebrity multi-millionaire. Wow. How’s that been working for all the rest of the convicted felons out there? Think we could get the NFL and the humane society to hire them too? There is nothing so distasteful as a big slathering of false hope served up by those who would profit from it.

A “mistake” is not what Michael Vick made. He had carved dogfighting into his life years ago. He paid for his stupidity with 18 months in jail.

It is an slap to everyone in the animal welfare community that Vick continues to have wealth and fame heaped upon him. And that BET would try to take Vick’s name and make it synonymous with “family values” indicates a broken moral compass. What, the family that fights and kills dogs together, stays together?

Let him prove himself if he can…haven’t yet seen any sign of true remorse or empathy for the dogs he tortured and murdered so easily.

“Fall from grace?” “Hope?” Maybe he can get in line for Pope too. This man and the high-profile people and institutions that support him — the NFL and its largely indifferent audience, the Eagles, Tony Dungey, the HSUS, etc — have established the worst possible example of the path to wealth and success: Commit violently psychotic, unspeakable, unviewable crimes, and stopping only because “caught” — then in Extreme Makeover fashion, reinvent and re-present one’s self as wiser and more wonderful than ever. I have yet to hear or perceive any sense of regret for his despicable activities. How anyone can buy this or support and promote this is way beyond my comprehension.

It makes me ill thinking he is going to have his own show. I think he is sorry for getting caught and nothing more.
