I will play the devils advocate, don't hate me, I'm a huge Eagles fan and bought 2 jersey's with Vick's name on the back.
I absolutely disagree with what he did, and am sickened by it. He went to jail, lost his millions, and paid the price he was given. How many of our difficult child's deserve a second chance at life? So, this can be a teaching moment. Even if you screw up your life so badly, don't give up- you can make decisions, and move on. Anyone can change thier lives from this moment forward. He can do something good for animals now, even if it's just for show, so what, he can still help. (That's a condition set by Jeffery Lurie, owner of the Eagles, for Vick to be on the team.)
Also, these animals were bred for fighting, they weren't pets. We eat chickens, they are bred and killed for us to eat, we have no problem with that. They're animals, too.
