[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 299095"] My first recollection of PETA was many years ago when someone from their organization drove through our city in a "Weiner Mobile" and a bullhorn shouting something about how weiners were killing us. Now Janet, correct me if I'm wrong, but I heard through the grapevine that The Humane Society is supporting Michael Vick and that PETA is not. What I THINK (emphasis on the word T-H-I-N=K) may have happened is that both organizations wanted to Vick to do public service announcement denouncing dog fighting when he got out of jail, HOWEVER, PETA wanted him to under go a brain scan and psychological testing FIRST and I don't think the Humane Society wanted him to do these things. So, Vick refused to take the testing PETA wanted and agreed to do some work with the HS. Perhaps the Human Society just wanted him to serve his time in jail and nothing more. Nope...personally, I don't really care for this either. Perhaps in time...I would feel differently. It's just too soon and the sincerity is not clear. I would prefer it if he did some [B]supervised[/B] community service at a dog shelter for awhile. Here is one article [URL]http://blog.peta.org/archives/2009/01/michael_vick.php[/URL]. Has anyone heard more details on all of this???? So, I think I really don't like any of it, but perhaps PETA was asking more of him...although my guess is that they were going to use the results of these tests against him (possibly). I don't watch much news. Who knows the scoop? Another thing I have heard that doesn't make ANY sense is that the team that has hired him has a reputation for NOT taking athletes with criminal records. Well, this DOES NOT make any sense at all. I'm sure the fans will NOT like this one bit. However, I guess it gets him a place to start and then he can get traded. Something seems "up." With reference to the advertisement below $%#@...where is the People for the Ethical Treatment of Women???? [/QUOTE]
