EXACTLY.
And only point I have left besdies for the fact of hating him and thinking that he is a cold hearted motherfucker, is that he should not be a spokes person for them. That is insane.
Hey go shake a few babies and then work for the March of Dimes....I mean wtf?!
I have no respect for people that abuse animals....or dont take care of them properly....it is rediculous!! No excuses!!!
I have read both sides of this and I can see both arguements. However, I agree with others in that he should not be branded as a dog fighter for life. I will use an example I feel that most of us can relate to.
I feel safe in saying that the majority of the members on this board have participated in street racing at some point in our lives, myself included; for some it was earlier today, for others it was years ago. I find it hard to believe that none of us were aware that it was illegal considering that we did it behind industrial buildings in the wee hours of the morning. That being said, alot of us have moved on to racing in legal sanctioned events or have moved on to other more productive and legal means of fun. We put our human lives along with other human lives in danger and although it didn't take the loss of a life for me to learn my lesson, unfortunately for some it might. I am definitely not a street racer, although I street raced on numerous occasions for years.
What does it take for a human to learn a lesson? We all are different in respects to learning so noone can say for sure whether Vick has learned his lesson or not.
I'll play Devil's Advocate as far as Vick being a spokesperson for PETA. I can't think of a better candidate to speak out than someone who made a poor choice and paid substantially for it. During this string of events, Vick has gone from the highest paid player in the NFL to petitioning to be reinstated. After reinstatement, he still has to prove himself to potentially interested parties for a JOB! He will likely not make half of what he did before. This statement is not meant for anyone to feel sorry about Vick's financial situation, but to show how he has paid financially for his choices.
On another note, let's consider that PETA is trying to reach a different demographic that they believe Vick can appeal to. If a kid sees me on TV saying that animal cruelty is bad, they would likely care less. However, if Vick shows up on the TV screen, the message will carry a lot more weight. If we can get the message out there about how harmful this type of conduct is, hopefully people will avoid it at all costs.
What makes you so sure HE WILL DO IT AGAIN.
