Michael Vick, dogfighting: President Obama draws flak for 'second chance' comment - latimes.com
Not sure -- have only heard of that one interview where he said he would like to get a dog some time. I believe STRONGLY that he should NEVER be allowed to have a pet. I was so glad to read that others were outraged by the President's call. Football may be a big thing here, but even that cannot overshadow this country's love for our pets!

The stories that came out were so sadistic! It was even more than horrid dog fighting -- torturing the dogs for sport? Hanging them? That sort of mind does not rehabilitate in a few months/years time. That sort of sickness and evil stays with the person. It is part of their core. I was sick about them allowing him back on the football field. We do need to hold the NFL players to a high standard -- they are our children's role models. I think felons have no place there period, and especially one associated with such violence and pure evil.

All those dogs Vick is responsible for torturing, maiming, and killing were not given a second chance! Why should he get one? Let him out of prison, let him do his community service and make his donations (which are a pittance to someone with his $$$), let him get a job like any other convicted felon, but don't put him right back on a pedestal with all the money and perks. He should lose something FOREVER! Just like those poor dogs.

You won't see me ever watching an Eagle game as long as he is there.
