Ban Michael Vick from the NFL for life

Ban Michael Vick from the NFL for life

Target:
America
Sponsored by: 

There is a wellspring of talent who aspire to play for the NFL. There is no excuse for the NFL to reward CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR and keep felons on the payroll. This exhibits poor decision making and bad business for an organization that enjoys an extremely high public profile. OUR NATIONS YOUTH observe NFL players as role models. Michael Vick  of the Philadelphia Eagles hanged dogs from trees, electrocuted them with jumper cables, held them underwater until they drowned in his swimming pool, and even threw his own "non-fighting" family dogs into the fighting pit to be torn to shreds.

Please support this petition to pressure the NFL to send Michael Dwayne Vick into the private sector of our society and live under the same standards as every other American.

This is a valid request. There should not be two standards. The evil that walks about, with the name Michael Vick, is an abomination to the word humane. The crimes he committed against life are unforgetable and unforgivable and yet a number of the population act as though he meerly took a stroll in the park. the animals that he tortured will bear the scares of his evilness for life and the animals that he murdered will be dead forever,victims of his black hearted souless existance. I wonder how many of these so called supporters would feel the way they do, if they were the ones on Michael Vicks tread mill? the ones being beaten and starved and all the other unthinkable horrors that were done to these poor animals. Even his own inside pets, he threw into a pit for slaughter, without so much as a thought,all for his blood lust. What can any sane humane being be thinking, to act as though all he did was take a walk in the park? These dogs wanted to live, just as any living thing wants to live and had a right to. Vic and his souless group took that away from these victims and threw them away as one would through away trash. The NFL's and Humane Society and all their sponsors shall bear the shame that comes along with their actions, as will PeTA. I am ashamed for them all. I sit here shaking my head, still in total disbelief. What is this insanity that is running rampant, through out this world? The cold blooded blood lust and sadistic insanity, towards living breathing creatures, that harm no one. That which we read or hear about going on,on a daily bases. This is unexceptable and must be stopped! And going over board in this instances, with Vic is unexceptable. He has no where shape nor form payed for his crime. And never will as long as he is being treated like he is a choir boy, instead of the monsterous abomination that he really is. All of you that are on the Michael Vick train are guilty towards humanity, in one of the worst possible ways. This Ban is on and shall remain untill Vick gets kicked off the train.You make your own bed,now sleep in it.

It's the "National Felon League" as far as I am concerned, and these people should NOT be given celebrity status, perks and opportunities after having committed serious crimes. Other felons wouldn't get this kind of star treatment...why should he? He's damaged goods and other teams would do well to steer clear of him. No more special priviledges for the likes him!

The NFL has been plagued with enough shame. Let's stop it now with this choice we have. Show these players that real men play the sport with pride and bring no shame to themselves, the team or the NFL.

This SOB has done more than just fight dogs. He is a murderer and tortured those dogs. There is no sentence strong enough to punish him for these heanous acts against those poor dogs. Someone should wet him down real good and stick an electrical current up his butt. How in the name of all that is good can these money grubbers sign this monster to a million dollar contract, or even a smaller one. He must be kept out of any kind of sport or public image. AND, how in hell can they give him any kind of time with dogs in shelters! Keep this bast--- away from all animals and any money he has or makes should go to helpless animals. Mr Vick is one very sick man and should be put away. The only thing he is sorry for is getting caught.
