OPINION: Michael Vick vs. PETA, The Showdown

I’m mad that the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are able to continue to make former NFL star Michael Vick bow and kiss the ring. Not only were these bozos the main force behind Vick’s imprisonment for dog-fighting, but they’ve gone on record as promising to be boisterously hostile towards Vick’s reinstatement in the NFL and recently they’ve suggested that Vick may be a “psychopath”.
The dynamic Vick, a dual running and passing threat for the Atlanta Falcons that led his team to within one game of the Superbowl in 2005, was released from prison on May 20th after serving 20 months in the bing for the previously mentioned violation.
Now, I’m not a big fan of dog-fighting. I think it takes a weird psyche to enjoy watching animals tear each other to pieces. On another note though, I’m a big fan of boxing so, go figure. My issue however, with the whole Vick thing has been from the beginning that the dogs he was accused of allowing to fight were his dogs. It wasn’t as if he’d borrowed a neighbor’s dog and returned it all chewed up. The property that was damaged was all his own and if a man can’t do what he wants to with his own property, perhaps we should reconsider the idea of pet ownership.
And of course, there’s my innate hatred for PETA. I mean these guys ain’t Jews, Blacks or Homosexuals, why should anybody hafta fear them? They do crazy stuff like throwing red paint on people that wear fur, running the risk of the paint getting into someone’s eye or windpipe, making themselves about as logical as the folks that kill abortion doctors. The hardest these cowards came at moose-killing Sarah Palin was to throw virtual snowballs at her.

Why are they allowed to shot-call with Mike Vick’s career?

    I don’t even watch football but if they give MV another chance i will watch it. Why when a black person does something they have to be nearly lynched for it, but when a white person does wrong, they just get a slap on the wrist? What he did was very wrong but he should be given a second chance. When he does play again I hope he beat the breaks off of his opponents.

    Dude, I wish I logged on more frequently than I do. Great topic, PETA is the biggest publicity w***e out there, before Vick noone even knew anything about PETA. If they want to protest MV, why didn’t they protest Sarah Palin shooting wolves from a helicopter in Alaska..oh yeah I had a brain fart (white woman)and she can do no wrong. Where is PETA when all the poultry companies are killing, and Sarah Palin (the great white woman)did that interview while turkeys were being slaughtered behind her, where was PETA? There is no money in a washed-out fake-azz vice-presidential nominee to protest, but a rich BLACK athelete..ohhhhhhhhh all the white protesters come out pitchforks and burning stakes to not allow this “negro-boy” to kill these dogs..pleez!!!

    my comment on this is: yes vick did a bad thingby fighting dogs. but if im right white people in the early days train putbills to kill wild hogs. yea i know whaat u my say it was for food, but they put that type of rage into the pits. why cant we just let this man live his life.he has lost millions of dollars and still doing jail time. we should give him a second chance to change his life around. i hate to used the race card but if was somone else who this be talk about as much.
