Great job getting the information, guys
While we're at it, we might ask CNN to loose the vile footage of dog
fights. I saw and heard two seconds of
it before I could grab the remote. It is so heartbreaking and they are
clearly showing it for the sensational aspects.
Also, they have a video on their website of a dog fight....this is just
exploitive trash and they should stop it now!

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:

Have fun! I am!

Thanks Kat! 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,
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!

I know this is very OT, but I couldn't stop crying on the way to work
this
morning after hearing this on NPR. I'm very hormonal right now, but I
think
that this would make anyone livid. What is wrong with these people?
What
happened to them? I don't understand these actions which there aren't
even
strong enough words for.
The story involved the NFL player Mick Vick and his involvement with
dog
fights. They found something like 70 dogs on his property used for
fighting.
There are many other atrocities that I can't even mention because I'll
start
crying again. But, here's the story if you want to listen:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=12056318
It makes me feel so helpless and angry and appalled and afraid.
Melissa
P.S. I'm so sorry this is OT (not even about cats), but I needed to
let it
out, and I didn't have anyone else to turn to but you guys. No one
here at
work would understand.
