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!

I don't think the NFL should do anything until the man has had a fair trial. If convicted, he should be dealt with in a manner consistent with standing NFL policy. I love dogs, and hate football, by the way.

I can only say what Leonardo Da Vinci said in 1455: THE TIME WILL COME WHEN MEN WILL LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF ANIMALS AS THEY NOW LOOK UPON THE MURDER OF MEN.

Vick insists everyone around the world loves him. I absolutely do not see any value in him as a human being and he is a disgrace to the NFL. He deserves no better than what he did to the dogs.

Suspension shouldn't even be a question. Anyone with such psychopathic behavior should be sent to jail for as long a jail term as one would receive for doing this to a helpless child.

Why do we as a civilized society allow this to continue?? We have turned a blind eye for way too long on all animal cruelty.

We are outraged that the NFL was merely disappointed in Vick. He should be immediately suspended, then fired when found guilty. He should be jailed and forced to make PSAs concerning this activity. WE DO NOT SUPPORT THE NFL!

He should be suspended because what he did is wrong and he shouldn't put animals to fight each other like that.

I am disgusted that anyone would perpetrate such heinous crimes against innocents, let alone someone who is considered a "role model". This individual has no soul and should not reap the rewards of his current occupation!
