| I am at a loss of words that could be posted here. God bless the people who adopted all of the dogs and have worked with them to become healthy in mind and body. |

| Lets see if I have this straight: Dwaine Carraway....professional wife beater and abuser, now stand in mayor, handed over the Key to the city of Dallas to Micheal Vick; official low-life-bottom-feeding-pond-scum, with an IQ of -59? Well, at least the keys do not fall far from the official....sort to speak. One useless piece of human flesh to another! |

| Update Looks like the pressure has had a positive effect, at least for the city of Dallas: "The action taken was not sanctioned by my office and was not an official ceremonial honor on behalf of the City of Dallas. Official Keys to the City are presented by the Mayor, or an elected official designated by the Mayor, and reserved, on a limited basis, for an elected official of international status. Clearly, this was not the case in this situation and done without my knowledge or approval. Mayor Tom Leppert calls for new guidelines on keys to Dallas | Dallas City Hall Blog | dallasnews.com This certainly is irrelevant to what is evident in the video on Vick, but at least the city wants nothing to do with this.

| Is this the best they can do for a role model for children? I shudder to think of the future. This guy is scum and should not be put on a pedistal, what, because he is good at a game he should be able to get away with anything? I vote not but sadly most people keep on giving him money and support. I like the part about changing all the locks- especailly those on the animal shelters! I hope people never forget the cruelty this man commited, nothing can make up for it, but he isn't even trying. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | No doubt!! Imagine what Best Friends Animal Society thinks/feels after they were the ones who took in the Vicktory Dogs and re-habbed them. Why not give THEM a dang key...they work miracles.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Sorry this is off topic, even though related to MV. I heard on the news this morning a rescue group is trying to purchase Michael Vick's property/house where he had his kennel. The rescue group hopes to open a sanctuary for rescued dogs and build a memorial for the dogs that died there. They are looking for donations to buy the property. Could be a redeeming gesture if Michael Vick gave the rescue the money to not only buy the property but also fund it's operation!
