Michael Vick Didn't Get A Lap Dog

A few months ago Michael Vick as forced to admit he had purchased a dog. You know, for his kids. They missed having one around the house. Because of his past convictions and brutalization of dogs, you would think he would get a quiet breed. You know, because it is for the kids. Nope. Instead, Vick got a Belgian Malinois. Those are the dogs that the military uses because they are so tough. You know, because Michael's kids wanted that.

  2. I cannot believe ANYONE sold this guy a dog. SHAME on them.

    The ONLY reason he stopped doing the shit he was doing was because he got CAUGHT.

    He has no remorse. In an interview he said the only remorse he had was that he had to serve time. Fucking PIECE OF SHIT. Let someone electric shock HIS genitals and see how he likes it.

  3. He should not be allowed near animals ever again.

  4. I hope that Animal Control makes regular stops at his house to check things out. So pissed that he got another dog. And he could easily afford private training for the dog, but chooses to take classes at PetSmart? Please. He's looking for publicity.

  13. I agree with everyone in this thread too! I don't stand for animal abuse. Or any abuse for that matter. This makes me want to cuddle my fur babies extra hard right now.

  14. I don't care if he's "reformed" or whatever. What he did to the animals in his past is utterly inexcusable and what bothers me is that he only got a small slap on the wrist for it before coming back to the NFL where he ended up making even MORE money than before. I don't understand why professional athletes are put on these pedestals and seen as "above the law." Personally, I thought a more fitting punishment is that half of his earnings should be automatically donated to various animal welfare agencies for a set period of time given what he did. But whatever - I'm a huge animal advocate and believe there is a layer of hell devoted to people like him in the afterlife.

  15. I'm not saying I don't agree with you guys because I do but it cracks me up that some people have more readily forgiven Chris Brown, Kobe Bryant, Ray Lewis and Ben Rothelisberger over Michael Vick. Crazy!

  16. He shouldn't be allowed to own a fucking animal, not even a goldfish. People say he paid his dues, but in my mind he didn't. He should've gotten kicked off the team. He participated in the slaughter of many innocent animals, for his own pleasure.

    I also don't buy "he grew up with dog fighting as the norm". You grow up, you learn that shit is wrong. Growing up around alcoholics and substance abusers, I saw them get behind the wheel all the time. It was a normal occurrence. When I drink, I make plans prior to have a sober driver. Why? Because I am an adult, and have some common sense. This piece of shit is vile.

  19. I had a bunch of friends who went to Virginia Tech and some of them were there when he was or had friends who were. This is a secondhand story, but a friend of a friend met him at a party and went to a bedroom with him. She said, "Let's just make out," when he wanted to go further and he responded, "Michael Vick doesn't make out. Michael Vick fucks." Then he left the room and returned to the party.

  20. @Holiday, bring a pit bull, get his book, proceed to have the dog take a shit in his book, close it, and give it to him. Let him know what you and the "fighting dogs" think of him. Be sure to squish the poo down really hard so it seeps out a bit.

  21. I decided to look up the Belgian Malinois. They're very smart and obedient, and are great with families when properly trained. If you are harsh/heavy-handed, they'll basically tell you to F off and stop listening to you.

    While I don't agree with Vick having a dog, I wouldn't be so quick to judge the type of dog he got. They seem to be good, loyal, watchful dogs.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ugh. I hate hate hate him. I don't begrudge the notion that people can change, they can. But for this kind of crime, I think his better bet was, in lieu of adoption, becoming a good donor to a local shelter. I don't know that I could ever see him with a dog and *not* think "dog killer." But if I knew he was providing some much needed monetary support to a local org that needed it, I would respect his involving himself that way.

  23. A Belgian Malinois is supposedly the dog used in getting osama bin laden.

  24. And so is the breeder who sold him the dog.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Malinois are GREAT dogs! However they have high energy and need to work. The military uses them for the same reason they use GSDs, smart, loyal, workers. I don't want anyone to get any ideas that this breed is a fighting dog, it's NOT, they are shepherds.

    HOWEVER< I sure wouldn't trust Vick with any dog. I sure hope someone is watching out, these dogs are highly loyal and need someone to trust and bond.

    @just curious, you may be right. No one seems to give a shit that Ray Lewis probably killed a guy.

    But doing time doesn't erase the actions of a person. A man can go to prison for thirty years, but that doesn't mean that the people he killed or raped are suddenly alive and un-raped anymore. Vick went to prison, served his time, but that doesn't mean that those dogs are all better and he doesn't deserve to have one again.

I told him that Lewis could praise Jesus to the skies, but it doesn't change the fact that he killed a guy and doesn't regret it.

  35. @Karen - that whole "he's a Christian now" just chaps my hide. (And I am one!)

    I was talking to a friend during the elections when Newt Gingrich was running for Republican primary.

    I said that I wouldn't trust a word out of that man's mouth, and that a guy who had an affair, divorced his wife and remarried (then cheated on and divorced that wife) while she was being treated for cancer should have ZERO say in women's reproductive issues, much less imply he might run for president. Also - 84 ethics charges?

    My friend said, Oh but he's a Christian now. God forgave him, we have to as well.

    I said that forgiving and forgetting aren't the same thing, and it's awfully convenient that his so-called penance comes out during election time. Whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  36. @Karen - The logic of some people absolutely kills me (sorry, I know I'm talking about your dad by proxy). Because, you know, no Christian has EVER done anything wrong!*

    *I'm not anti-Christian, or anti-any religious faction for that matter. Just making a comment about how ridiculous it is that being [whatever] absolves people of bad.

    ReplyDelete
  37. @Izzie, I'm a Christian as well and that bothers me, too. My dad also liked Newt and I told him that I wouldn't vote for a guy who cheated on his wife and divorced her during her cancer treatment. I was really annoyed because my parents (and I) didn't like Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal, but then they didn't care as much about Newt because they agreed with him politically. It fries me.

    Unfortunately, so many politicians in both parties are super cheaters. At the end of the day you're probably voting for one.

    As an aside, when Fred Thompson was in the Republican primaries in 2004, no one in the media could find an ex-girlfriend--or his ex-wife--who would say a single bad word about him despite him dating LOTS of women between his two marriages. It made me think that he probably wasn't a cheater because he'd break up with them first--and in such a nice way that they still loved him a dozen years later.

  45. @Layna Day - well written.

    As for Michael Vick (and I'm as surprised about this as anyone else) I agree with just curious. MV did apologize and did the PSAs. Not sure, but I believe he also donated money to shelters. He has also done whatever his sentence required of him. I haven't heard that he's done anything wrong (other than being a sucky football player) since then. I do believe in redemption - and since he's done his time, I've given him one more chance. Just one. Blow this one and you're history.

    As for Ray Lewis, I lived in Atlanta when he killed that guy and totally agree - his money bought him a pass. I couldn't stand watching everyone suck up to him over this past Superbowl. He's a POS.

  47. @just curious - I completely understand what you're saying. However, I take issue with the continual phrasing with "no one cares about". That aspect is simply not true. Many of us DO care. I'm not going to vouch for everyone that comments here, because I don't know for a fact, but many of us (and people elsewhere) do care.

  48. Full disclosure, I'm a huge Eagles fan. Obviously I was as surprised as anyone when the Eagles signed Vick and as an animal lover, very upset about it at the time. However, I have followed him since then, and he truly has worked in the community discussing how wrong dog fighting is and owning up to his past. I personally do believe he realizes that what he did was wrong, and is in fact trying to be a better person.

    This picture is from him taking his dog to training classes at PetSmart. If nothing else, it seems that he is trying to be a good owner and I think he is under too much scrutiny at this point to have anything bad happen to the dog.

  53. Michael Vick lives down the street from our farm and this article was published in one of the local Philly papers a few years back. I know many of you may not agree with it, but hopefully it gives you something to think about.

  54. Elle Ghee - that was a very interesting article, and I do agree. We try to buy as locally as possible - fortunately, we live in area where that's possible and not as expensive as other areas. I haven't gone so far as to meet and name the animals that end up in our fridge, but we know the farmers and have checked their places out.

    I remember a case here in my town where a dog was dragged behind a truck for about 10 minutes and had scrapes, burns, cuts, etc. There were something like 1,000 calls to adopt him in the first hours after the story was released and the opinion sections were filled with blistering comments. A couple of days later, there was another story about a little girl whose mother's boyfriend had abused for years and she was finally removed from the home. A couple of opinion outrage pieces, most of them directed at DHS incompetency and no rush of people willing to become foster parents to a broken little girl.

    That said, I still despise Vick and what he did.

  55. I don't know. I think people who abuse will abuse again. Whether it be a person or an animal. I know that the judicial system is there for you to "do your time", but there really is no rehabilitation. Not only that it would take YEARS of therapy to undo whatever causes these people to do it in the first place.


    No I don't think it's wise for a child abuser to have a child or live with children nor do I think it's wise for someone who's abused animals to be able to own an animal. REGARDLESS of the situation.

    Here's what I think about the racial issue. I find...that some (NOT ALL) black people like to bring up the race issue in every scenario possible making it completely IMPOSSIBLE for things to NOT be racial.

    I honestly think MOST white people really don't give a good shit and are frankly tired of hearing about it!

    Regardless of what color Vick was...he did horrible things to animals and was caught PERIOD. I honestly think that if the man were white or even part white it wouldn't have mattered in a court of law.

    I understand you may have justification for the way you feel...but people need to move past this shit. It's really time.

  68. I kind of agree with just curious, and I'm white and European. Everytime time there is a post about C. Brown the enraged messages and epithets are epic. And don't get me wrong, I think he's scum and he deserves all of them, but what happens when the abuser is white? Like Edward Furlong (who abused his wife twice, that we know of) or Sean Penn. Sure there is outrage also, but the intensity pales in comparison.

    If it is a white man, many of you excuse his behaviour... drug abuse, mental health, and the "what a shame, oh, he was so cute back then when, blah blah, blah..."

    I lurk for quite some time, and I've seen this subtle racism applied in many other situations. Imagine for a minute if Tigger Woods was found in the same situation as O. Pistorius... sure the apologetic and sympathetic messages I've read here would be absent.
    I don't know who M. Vick is, but of course, I loathe animal abusers... it's only that I doubt many of you would judge so harshly some rich white celebrity killing lions in Africa.


    But just curious, there are white cdaners who seem very balanced in their judgement too.

    Anyway, giving that Americans love nature so much and are so empathic towards animals, why the USA is one of those countries who didn't sign the Kyoto Protocol?
