Michael Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in prison for financing a dogfighting ring and helping to kill pit bulls. Vick initially denied any wrong doing but eventually admitted he was deeply involved in a dogfighting enterprise and endorsed the killing of dogs who did not fight well by drowning or hanging.
Vick's sentence came too late for all the dogs that were killed and victimized as part of his dogfighting activities.
Please urge the NFL to ban Michael Vick permanently. Professional players are role models for children and millions of people and someone with a record of animal cruelty shouldn't be allowed to set a bad example. Dogfighting is unacceptable and the NFL must act accordingly.
Sign this petition to ask the NFL to take a stand against dogfighting once and for all!
We are still outraged by Michael Vick's behavior.
He brutalized dogs and lied about his involvement in a dogfighting ring. Vick's sentence came too late for all the dogs that were killed and victimized as part of his dogfighting activities.
We welcome your decision from last July to ban Vick from training camp while the league investigated the charges against him, but now it's time to ban Michael Vick from the NFL permanently.
Professional players are role models for children and millions of people and someone with a record of animal cruelty shouldn't be allowed to set a bad example.
Animal cruelty is criminal, unacceptable and shouldn't go unpunished.
We need to put an end to dogfighting in our country once and for all. Make sure the NFL acts accordingly.
Thank you for your attention to this important matter.
