That is precisely why I think it is simply wrong to sell shirts, especially ones for dogs, with Vick's name on them.
Dogs truly are domesticated animals. No 2 ways about it. they CAN go feral if dumped in the country and left to fend for themselves. But usually they end up dead because they just are not wild animals any more. I have known MANY people who live in the country and find dogs who are "feral", even those running in packs. With VERY FEW exceptions a loving person can work with these dogs and they can again become loving protective pets who are just as safe around people as any other dog.
Cats are NOT as domesticated. But they are harder to train so cat fighting never really seems to be an issue. Cats ignore you if you expect stupid things from them. They also will turn on a vicious owner.
Vick is not now remorseful over anything but getting caught. He is sorry he got caught. He is sorry he went to prison. He is sorry he lost money and didn't get paid for games while he was in prison.
He is a sorry excuse for a human being who needs to have done to him what he did to those dogs.
THAT would be a fitting punishment in my opinion.
He is NOT sorry nor does he "see the error of his ways" nor is he anyone I would want advocating for the Humane Society or any other animal group.
Maybe we should dump him hog tied into a PETA rally. THAT would maybe be fitting punishment.
I will not purchase any NFL merchandise for any reason from this day forward until such time as Vick is kicked out of the NFL. It is my personal choice. If others feel this way maybe contacting the team or the NFL is something you choose to do.
