Interesting fact: in '05, he was sued by a woman who claimed he gave her genital herpes. She says he knew he had the std because he had been treated for it prior to their encounter at medical facilities under the name Ron Mexico. They settled out of court. He also does a lot of charity work with kids, which is a sick joke to me at this point. Also, Michael Vick is the highest paid NFL player in history, signing a huge 10 year contract with the Falcons in 2004. It will be very important that they hear from their own fans in Georgia, so if you know anyone, pass this info. on. Here is their contact info: http://www.atlantafalcons.com/About/Contact_Us.aspx Have fun!

I haven't been checking my PETA messages or the website lately, so I missed this one. I feel as though I am at least doing something however small. I too am having a really difficult time not wishing the worst on these barbarians. Yes, it's all about the image. They don't care what he's done--they only care how it's impacting them monetarily. Yuck. I hate professional sports even more now than I did before. Melissa -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kat Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2007 10:17 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: OT: Severely OT, dog fights and NFL player Melissa, There is something you can do - See the PETA Take Action page "Tell the Atlanta Falcons to Punt Animal Abusers off the Team!" http://getactive.peta.org/campaign/afalcons_vick It IS incomprehensible on so many different levels, and should not be allowed to be white washed or brushed under the carpet. The fact that the officially released statement reads (in part) "We are disappointed that one of our players -- and therefore the Falcons -- is being presented to the public in a negative way, and we apologize to our fans and the community for that." Note - they are NOT apologizing for the actions or the dogfights, just that it is being presented in a negative way!!! I don't ususally wish bad things for anyone, but in this case I do hope he gets the maximum fine AND imprisonment - and then some!
