Protestors: Vick's Sick

Animal rights protesters are angry over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement with an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick was indicted on Tuesday for federal dogfighting charges.

Around 75 animal-loving members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated in front of the NFL's New York offices on Friday calling for Vick's suspension, reported the Daily News. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to rule on Vick's status.

The Humane Society of the United States held a similar protest at Nike's Portland, Oregon, headquarters. Nike recently decided not to release its newest Vick shoe, though it has seven other Vick-related items in production.

166. #162 You sound like a self righteous idiot. The comment here are about Vick's, dogfighting & animal cruelty. Abortion is an emotional subject & topic which people have very strong feelings about also. Before calling everyone a hypocrite, shouldn't there be at least a base for the discussion. You have no idea how anyone here fells about abortion, because it wasn't brought up even once until you made your premature judgement that we are HYPOCRITES because we are outraged at Vick's torture & killing of innocent animals. How do you know how we feel about abortion???

168. #173- Al Sharpton has become involved - has started a petition with PETA to remove Vick from the NFL if found guilty. Russell Simmons & a heavyweight fighter are also part of it. I signed it- go to PETA if you want to help remove Vick from the NFL if guilty & sign the petition.

169. Put him in a ring with 2 hungry pitbulls.....let them have a good chunk of him for a few mins, then put him in a cage and lower him into a pool and drown him.....If it's good enough for them, it is certainly good enough for you......You are nothing more than pig poop!!!!!!!

171. 184. VICK'S BLACK .. I WONDER IF OPRAH WILL STEP UP. I've liked her but I've always known who she was down deep. She's an awesome lady but backing Obama for President when he can't make a decent decision, proves blacks back and that's what he's about .. and she, and so is Vick. We shall see where Oprah goes with her anger since she is a pet owner and loves her animals. I used her same trainer .. I'm anti Pita and not part of the protect pet movement but I see now why they must exist and make a statement. I'd like to see Vick dead at the jaws and paws from those he's made killers. It is so hurtful and I feel hate towards him and hope the NFL and the Falcons and Nike all dump him. The info is all in and he's damn guilty. .. they had to wait for years so that the evidence would be solid and not trashed. MICHAEL VICK IS A KILLER OF INNOCENTS AND HE SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH HIMSELF.

173. Vick is not sick...He's just full of Evil !! Our country should start enforcing the death penalty again, stronger than ever,and Vick should be next in line. He should lose all his Nike ads and get kicked out of the NFL.........for good. He should die the same way he killed his dogs.....a slow and agonizing death, with nothing for pain.
He's worse than sick !!!

174. BARBARIC is MICHAEL VICK ..............Senator Byrd was married for 68 years to his childhood sweetheart he loved dearly and who died recently. He talks about his lonely house and the dog he comes home to that loves him now. BARBARIC .. THAT'S WHAT HE CALLED MICHAEL VICK .. among other great things and suggested it would be the second execution he'd welcome being part of.........BARBARIC .. lock Vick up in a cell with the killer dogs and let him be their dinner.

176. Take Vick's head and smash him against a wall just like what he "allegedly" does to his dogs. or better yet, electrocution would be sufficient. I read that's what he does to dogs that don't perform - next time he doesn't perform on the field, perhaps that should be HIS punishment!!! Shame on the greedy NFL for not doing anything about maggots like this. What the hell is this world coming to!

180. #180 Whatever you say, you just came off sounding paranoid & narrow minded. Especially since you don't really know about even one person'e opinion about abortion here far as I know. How do you know there are not some people on this forum who are activists for stopping late term abortion, but who's posts here you viewed as being hypocritical. You don't & this is the last thing I have to say to you.
