I don't condone what he did, in fact I am rather appauled by it, but people putting animals on the same level as humans is rediculous. They are animals! not humans. His sentence was more severe than that of a rapist, a drug dealer, a drunk driver..... ect. how is that fair. Now, people who have their morals all screwed up are saying he shouldnt play or get paid. Give me a break. Now don't buy his jersey either.. wow.. all I can say is wow. this worlds priorities are getting farther and farther away from what really matters.

You can treat animals kindly and love them, but when you start seeing animals as having the same rights as human beings, its time for an evaluation. I think too many Disney movies when people were younger have warped too many brains.

The world's moral compass is in little Suzy's handbasket pointing straight to hell.

Oh yes, the use of drugs and alcohol is well known to promote reason and logic. As a bonus, it helps align our moral compass and give ambition to achive our priorities and goals.

I was wondering, do these dogs have souls and is that required for the karma thing?

They are keeping a count of the calls thanking them for not selling the jerseys. Keep it going.

The corporate number is 866-677-4771 ... press "0" for the operator.

LOL, I'll be honest, I dont follow professional sports. I wouldnt know who he was except for the dog fighting thing.
I dont really condone dog fighting but I do know how you can be raised in culture where its condoned and all your friends are into it. While I think all professional sports people are paid 101% too much. I also think the man paid his price, a big price for something that didnt hurt anyone. (dogs yes people no) so let the man live his life........

HAHA!!

I'm glad I came back to this thread. Good stuff...

I personally don't care that Vick's playing again. Like a few have already said, he did his time (and probably more than the average joe).
I don't particularly like him for reasons I've stated above. I hope to see him fall flat this season, because I'd rather see more stand-up guys than him playing well and getting paid. Am I gonna protest Vick? The Eagles? No.
Am I gonna make it clear that I don't like him? Sure.

Which brings me to the comments about the moral decline in this country.
I agree about how stupid some people are about animals vs. people, and I probably hate the chit more than most.
However, I think there is an argument to be made about how some people (like me) may not be thrilled about a person like Vick being held up as an NFL icon making millions. He's not worse than everyone in the league, but certainly not a moral leader by any means. I don't like a few other a-holes in the league... but it doesn't mean that kids should be looking up to Vick, either.

As far as 'dog karma'.... lol...
Yep, i think the heavy pot use pretty much explains that...
"I kicked my dog in the face because I'm pretty sure he had it coming. It's a karma thing." ????
Wait, on second thought, that sounds more like something a crackhead would say....
