Michael Vick Wants to Get a Dog (Seriously)

I don't think there's anything wrong with him owning a dog at this point in his life. Comparing a man who ran a dogfighting ring to a pedophile is... Wow. Just a really really not great example in my opinion. A pedophile tends to be someone who has no control over his actions and cannot be rehabilitated. (At least I don't think so. Once a child molester, always a child molester). They often don't know what they're doing is wrong, although some do... and pedophiles have a high recidivism rate, meaning more than likely, they're going to end up reoffending at some point in their life.

In this case, Vick KNEW what he was doing was wrong, he has control over his actions, he served his time, did his community service and at this point in his career after being given a second chance and sitting at a potential Super Bowl appearance... He'd be a straight imbecile to screw himself up again. If anything I can understand Vick being banned from owning dogs historically bred to protect/fight (Pits or bully breeds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, etc) but I mean if the dude wanted... I dunno a golden retriever.. For example... Then he may be the first man to set up a golden retriever dogfighting ring, in the history of dog fighting.

If he's closely supervised, sure a dog could help him as part of his rehab.

Some people are really going overboard here, as usual.

Maybe he can start with a chia pet and some sea monkeys and see how he handles those

Toss in a pet rock too and see how that works out... :)

No ex convicts should ever be able to play the game again.....period.

Be careful. There's guys that have done worse than what Vick did that still played.

So I guess it's a sure thing that Vick wants one just to kill one, since obviously, like a pedo, he just can't stop having that urge to kill dogs. It's scientifically proven.
hmmmmm

Blah.

'twas just a sarcastic recap of what was being spewed out by certain previous posters.

You guys are hilarious, these threads always bring out the worst analogy's. He never killed his pets, he was involved in local culture that was acceptable to most in area but also against law. I honestly don't think he regrets his decisions just that he got caught, but to play in the NFL he has to act the part now.

Having a family pet has nothing to do with dog fighting, however if he opened up a kennel that would be different. The "i hope the dog turns against him and drowns him" is real classy.

Here is a thought maybe we can lure him away from the Eagles next year if we promise him will we keep a box of puppies in the locker room. :)

:laughing2

Man I actually thought twice before starting this thread but reading some of the comments I don't regret it at all. Some of the comments are hilarious and some are actually pretty insightful.

Good job warpath community lol
