Suspend NFL Quarterback Michael Vick for Dogfighting!
Target: Roger Goodell, NFL CommissionerSponsored by: Humane Society of the United States
Last week, a federal grand jury indicted NFL star quarterback Michael Vick and three cohorts on felony dogfighting charges.
The abuses described in the indictment are almost beyond belief, and include a report of Vick being consulted before the execution of the losing dog "by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal."
The indictment also describes "the execution of approximately eight dogs that did not perform well in "testing" sessions ... by methods including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."
Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick should be suspended from the NFL immediately!
The NFL expressed “disappointment” and said, “We believe that all concerned should allow the legal process to determine the facts.” That’s just not good enough. The alleged acts were not petty or harmless; they were nothing short of gruesome and barbaric.
Sign the petition to the NFL today, and tell the league to suspend Michael Vick!

We signed the “Suspend NFL Quarterback Michael Vick for Dogfighting!” petition!

Ban him for life the same as Pete Rose was banned for life for gambling . I would rather see a gambler playing or involed in his sport than a person so sick he kills living animals .

I feel he should get the maximum penalty under the law. He should also be suspended by the NFL because he is no type of role model to our youth. It is time the big sporting leagues started to make their members accountable. This just disgusts me and so should all of his sponsers and teammates be

This is a crime of someone who is heartless. cruel, and socially dysfunctional. Pete Rose was suspended from baseball INDEFINATLY for gambling. Well, this is gambling and worse. Just because he has a talent in sports does not buy him a "Get out of jail card" free! I guess he felt like a big man, with the world at his fingertips, that he should be the exception to U.S. laws, as well as the laws of God and someone with a soul.

What a disgusting man. Can you even call him a man? I'm ashamed to be the same species as him, how can you do those things to another living and breathing creature who has done you no wrong?

He tortured innocent, loving, caring and trusting animals.... What kind of role model is he? Would you want your children looking up to him? I wouldn't.

Not only has he violated man's laws, he has violated nature's. He was a role model to the nation and needs to be a role model in this as well. He didnt just make a mistake and he isnt immature. He was an adult not satisfied with the millions he earned. It's obviously about power. He is dangerous. Put him away.

He has violated the terms of his NFL contract, and should not be rewarded for a life of crime! It is time for the NFL to show that they will take proper action against the players that break the law. This is not a crime that can be forgiven!

All I have to say is that if you don't do the right thing and suspend this sick individual, then what you are telling the world is that you're supporting someone who is heartless, spineless and sadistic. I, along with plenty of others are counting on you to make an example of this trash-Vick, and let the world know that you will not stand for such cruel and sickening behaviour. You need to do the right thing.

Because it's just like murder! It should be a felony. Also, it's a form of gambling and gambling is a suspension from NFL. He's disgusting and needs to be behind bars for years and years.

No one should be allowed to do the things that Michael Vick did to those dogs and not suffer the consequences. No living being, whether it be an animal or a human being, should have to suffer the way that Michael Vick made those dogs suffer.

This is the most disgusting display I have ever become privy to,no one wants their children idolizing a man that would do this if the NFL does not take further action they will suffer an incredible loss of ratings, nobody wants they're children thinking this is normal behaviour! Anyone who could do this to a defenceless animal has the inner potential to repeat these crimes on a human being after all has it not been proven that many a serial killer/murderers get started by killing helpless family pets.
