| Michael Vick Just read that the Eagles have hired Michael Vick to play for them. I hope they lose every single game, and that the half time show will be a bunch of pit bulls let loose on the field whrere they can chase him down. I really go nuts when people take part in Dog Fighting, and then the killing of so many innocent dogs. I may have a bunch of Eagles fans who get mad at me, but I don't care. They've hired a sub-human. He certainly didn't need the money. He just enjoyed the vicious bloodshed and abject cruelty. Sorry. Just had to blow off steam. Tucker's Mom |

The 3 Musketeers Donating Member | I try not to be negative here on YT, but when I read that Michael Vik signed a contract to play football I got sick. Why should a person who did what he did be allowed to return to a job that people, especially kids look up to as a role model. I'm just sick and like you I hope that they lose every single game. I'm not going to watch them even if they play against my home team.

| He should have to pay a certain percentage of his pay to an organization that helps fight against dog fighting--or some other type of animal cruelty organization, that way every paycheck, he gets a reminder of what he did. I, too, was saddenned to see the Eagle's picked him up--but I am an Eastern PA girl, so go Eagles!!!!! |

| LMAO!! Its pretty disgusting that anyone would sign him on...just because he spend a little time working in a animal shelter, doesnt mean he is remorseful for what he did. He knew what he did was evil, but he did it anyway. Makes me sick!! I guess that petition we signed got overlooked! |

| I dont think youre being fair I despise all animal crueltyu but he went to jail and paid a fine he should be given a second chance the main reason people go back to jail is they cannot get a job and yes the law says you cant discrimanate but the truth is we do we have to give people the benifit of the doubt or keep building prisons. PS I dont like the man but he has the right to earn a living. |

| I'm torn on this one because I can't stand the thought of what he did, and thought his punishment was too lite, but he did serve his time. As Manina said how many dogs were stolen from their loving homes and killed because of what he did. It's my biggest fear that someone will steal my great pyrenees for such a thing just because of his size. So I watch him like a hawk stalking a mouse when he's outside. I hoped and prayed that he'd get more jail time but he didn't. And I didn't want to see him get picked for another football team where he can become some kid's hero. I hoped he'd have to work that construction job for a few years and stay out of trouble before some team signed him. But to the football league it's all about the money and will he bring fans to their teams. Well, he will bring protesters for sure. Which is still free publicity to them, so they don't care. It's all about the $$$$$. So sickening to know that's what matters most. Not the truth, not honor, not integrity, not their responsibility to teach our youth how to become a great upstanding citizen. They teach them to take what they can and demand more for less. But he did pay what our justice system demanded of him. We can't expect him to go out and imprison himself. We can hope and pray that he tries to do what is right, but will he? I think we should demand harsher punishment for persons who abuse animals. Just like people who view child porn, it doesn't take long until these sicko's are acting out. One thing's for sure, we'll be watching if he does mess up!!!

YT Addict | Not only emailled the team but also the sponcers. I will not be purchasing products from a company that supports this team. I will NEVER buy aquafina (pepsi) or j&j snackfoods (J & J SNACK FOODS) as long as they sponcer a team that supports a killer like Michael Vick. good thing I dont really like soda or junkfood :P |

| Michael Vick I try not to be negative on YT either, but this really got to me. Yes, he did his light sentence because he had to. But do you really think it changed his heart? He's a vicious, cruel man. I am a former school teacher. You have read, I'm sure, that all child molesters, and killers, at sometime in their youth, exercised some act of violence against animals. I once had a child in sixth grade. He had a cherubic face, curly hair, ahd big blue eyes. I did everything I could for him, to no avail. When he was in Jr High, I found out he had poured gasoline on a puppy, and set it on fire. The poor little thing died, of course, after suffering agonizing pain. The kid is in his early twenties. I found out last year that he murdered his father in cold blood. I hate to be so blunt. However, when a grown man, with all the money in the world, is so cruel toward animals, the instinct to continue doing the same thing is just in him. It's a huge character defect that only a real miracle can cure. I don't think Michael Vick has had his miracle. He just wants to play ball, and earn money again. Again, I hate to sound like this, and to start a huge controversy, but my blood just boils when I think about it. ps How can I e mail the Eagles? Tucker's Mom |
