| Michael Vick Posted: 10/8/2009 5:08:08 AM | James, as usual, you are wrong! My 5 dogs have a very useful purpose. I haven't had a Jehovah's Witness knock at my door at any time during my dogs' lives. All 5 of my dogs are very sweet in temperment, but they bark, and that is enough to keep the door-to-door mendicants, politicians and salespersons off of my property!
dynamite1727, you would love all of my big babies! They're 100 lb. hairy love sponges! | |

Shabbi......Well Said Ditto to your whole post!! You agree with him pretending to answer questions presented? Do you have an actual opinion - that's what I asked about... or do you just support the skirting of issues as Shabbi did (and you applauded)? Sahara I DID answer your questions, at length, see msg# 932, as for having an opinion, I have posted my opinions at length several times. I'm surprised I didn't get a "message to long" after hitting the post button. So I really don't know what you are talking about. Shabbi posted after I responded to you, I liked how he stated it, Ditto is a "way" of saying I totally agree....not that I "pretended to answer a question"...????
You're really scrapping the barrel now. The benefit of being a pet is that their owners love them. You should know that. Skoochie, I believe the word LOVE is the reason he doesn't comprehend what a lot of us are saying. I agree love is the reason. According to his theory, if a person is robbed, and assaulted in another city, it hasn't effected your survival, therefore it does not matter. Most of us that have compassion and empathy know it is wrong and that it matters. Thank goodness!!!
I haven't had a Jehovah's Witness knock at my door at any time during my dogs' lives. Pete that is too funny. I have a Lab/St. Bernard mix. LOL he's a big dog, with a heart of gold. His bark is much bigger than his bite (actually he doesn't have a bite), So when they come knocking on my door, I open the door part way...and say just hand me the paper...I don't know if I can hold him back for long.... they do and practically run away... mean while he is wagging his tail while barking....he really just wants them to pet him and to slobber all over them. | |

You're really scrapping the barrel now. The benefit of being a pet is that their owners love them. You should know that What makes you think that arrangement is in the best interest to the animal? Do you not believe than any living thing would be happier having free will? IMO Zoos =Animal Jail.
James, as usual, you are wrong! My 5 dogs have a very useful purpose. I haven't had a Jehovah's Witness knock at my door at any time during my dogs' lives. All 5 of my dogs are very sweet in temperment, but they bark, and that is enough to keep the door-to-door mendicants, politicians and salespersons off of my property! They are your pets though, which is different from the Vick situation.
Which is another thing that people fail to understand.
Hunters, farmers, racers for the most part have dogs not as pets but for practical or sporting purposes.
If those dogs that they own do not preform to the standard that they require or desire the majority of those animals are destroyed.
Some will be destroyed in a way some may consider humane and some will not, but the fact remains that have no interest in keeping the animals around as they are just a liability and not a pet.
According to his theory, if a person is robbed, and assaulted in another city, it hasn't effected your survival, therefore it does not matter. So where is your argument against that theory? There are ~1200 robberies each day in the US. So for the 120o happened today how where you personally affected by them?
Most of us that have compassion and empathy know it is wrong and that it matters. Thank goodness!! I love irony and that is some good stuff there. You show nothing but contempt for M. Vick and anyone that does not agree or challenges what you say. Where is your compassion and empathy?

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/9/2009 9:26:04 PM | | I think the point that some of you are missing is that We Owe dogs..we took them from the wild, breed them to serve our purposes{Domesticated them} made them become totally dependent on us. So when an Idiot like Vick Mistreats them, abuses them,Kills them, Forces them to fight each other til death it is a betrayal of a Thousands years old relationship/Agreement that we have made with them...They did not choose the existence the we have forced upon them, | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/9/2009 11:56:19 PM | Etourdi... First off.. He bankrolled the operation =D He probably never even attended one of those fights because he had no need. One of his buddys got some cash from him and voila. Vick had dog fighting rings! Evil!
I think the biggest thing we can take from this thread all the media and Micheal Vick's rebirth is this...
Dog fighting is good for business Vick is well on his way to having a healthy bankroll again and if anything hes a bigger star post dog fighting than he was as the scrambling threat of the Atlanta Falcons. If anything we should all take a swing at illegal operations and reform ourselves publically... The economy would be booming if everyone got publicity like this | |

Etourdi....I agree. It is OUR responsibility to look after them!
He probably never even attended one of those fights because he had no need. I would disagree, read the indictment, he traveled all over to participate in the dog fights, purchased 54 dogs. He bred and trained dogs for fighting

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/10/2009 6:28:34 AM | I still dont get my question answered by all you Vick haters. Why do you want Vick to do?...what would make you happy? Do you want him working a 10 dollar and hour job? would that make you happy? Do you want him thrown into the wild with a pack of wolves and see if he survives?....
He has a job in which he makes a lot of money, that is really not his fault. He got someone to employ him, again, not his fault. Do you want him to turn it down?
I think Vick is a piece of crap myself. What happend to those dogs was horrific. I love dogs, made me sick to my stomach. BUT, he is out of prison, and has to work.
So what if some normal Joe making 8 bucks an hour tortured dogs, what would make you happy?...him making 3 bucks an hour?.... | |

Broncs I do understand what you are saying. I think it is the responsibility of the NFL (aka Goodell) to NOT allow him employment. The reason I point out how heinous Vic's crime is to justify WHY I don't think the NFL should allow him to play again. Like I said it's not that he committed a crime, I believe in second chances most of the time. It's the TYPE of crime. I think the NFL should hold "higher" standards.
There should be a line in which the NFL say's some crimes, due to the heinous nature, are crimes in which a player should no longer be allowed to play anymore. | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/10/2009 6:48:24 AM | Leonard Little killed someone while driving drunk and got 90 days in jail. He then got another dui in 2004 and still plays in the NFL.
Yet people are so mad at Vick who spent 2 years in a federal prison.
That piece of trash Lawrence Phillips dragged his girlfriend down 4 flights of stairs by her hair, yet was given a job also....
I just dont understand why the uproar of Vick, when there are other athletes who have done worse, or just as worse.. | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/10/2009 8:30:20 AM | | They all should be banned from Professional sports............they are public figures by virtue of their profession as such they are and should be held to a higher standard. | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/10/2009 8:54:28 AM |
They all should be banned from Professional sports
you cant just say "all"...you have to define what you mean by "all"... | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/10/2009 8:54:36 AM | i havent read the other post so dont bite my head off if i repeat.
in highschool ball you have rules to abide by or you dont play.then same should be for the nfl. the nfl needs should step in say stop, right now, set new rules and guidelines for futurer offenders. | |

James, I do know that most, if not all, breeders have no qualms about drowning any pup that is deformed from birth. Personally, I am appalled by that, but I know it happens regularly without any negative consequences to the breeder. | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/11/2009 11:23:17 PM | | I conceded that he deserves the right to earn a living as any one does. I forgave Goodell for letting him back in the NFL. What I won't accept is the f-ing sports casters acting like he is the greatest thing to touch a football. He plays third string for the Eagles. Apparently Kolb looks better in practice than Vick does. Vick is the most overrated player in the league, yet they talk about his every play as if they want to suck him off. | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/12/2009 7:06:51 AM | skoochie, you wait until Vick comes to your church to speak on the pointlessness and cruelity of dog fighting. Then you'll sing a different tune!  | |
|

whew, i sure bet that Goodell is relieved to know that!!! | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/13/2009 6:42:24 AM | PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Months after facing sharp criticism for signing convicted dogfighter Michael Vick(notes), the Philadelphia Eagles are making good on a pledge to support animal welfare groups.
The team on Monday unveiled a program called TAWK, which stands for Treating Animals With Kindness. The initiative aims to reduce animal abuse, encourage spaying and neutering, and end dogfighting through public education and awareness.
The Eagles awarded grants of $50,000 each to Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, the Humane Society of Berks County and the Humane Society of the United States.
Team spokeswoman Pamela Browner-Crawley says Vick is working with children to discourage them from dogfighting.
It certainly comes as no surprise to me that the Humane Society was going to be paid off for supporting Vick's return to the NFL!!! After all, it's all about the Benjamins!!! | |

| Michael Vick Posted: 10/14/2009 12:46:32 PM | I forgave Goodell for letting him back in the NFL. whew, i sure bet that Goodell is relieved to know that!!!
He was sending me emails begging for my forgiveness. I thought it was the right thing to do.
What makes you think that arrangement is in the best interest to the animal? I can tell by the way my dogs don't run away from home that they are very interested in our arrangement. I have five acres with many holes in the fences for them to run away, if they didn't like our arrangement. | |
