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.

31. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell: Why aren't the NFL's new rules being applied in this atrocity?

32. I guess he'll be going into rehab any minute now. In celebville this takes care of all sins...rehab makes it all better and the tabloids (like this one) call their "recoveries" heroic.

33. I hope the penalty for him is as harsh as it can be.
These poor defenseless innocent animals were not put on this earth to satisfy the sick twisted perversions of mentally warped individuals.
We're supposed to love them as the gift from God that they are.

34. Al Sharpton?? Need him for what? He's crooked as a snake. Don't call the "Jesse" either -- they are the dynamic duo that cheat their own people! Crooks, taking advantage of their own race!! Wake up Black America!!

37. 34. Why Black people are so hated? It's because they behave like filthy vermon. This guy Vick should have his balls cut off. If I ever saw him, I would kill him.-by People Wonder.

Maybe in your world, black people are hated. I'm white and beg to differ. This is about these individuals behavior, not the behavior of a race of people. You can find just as many sicko white. Just look up almost every serial killer.

38. Everyone has a right to their own opinion however to condemn Mr. Vick makes us just as bad. His behavior has brought a tear to my eye and unwanted anger in my heart. He is gorgeous, was well liked and was great at his job. Why the deliberate torture of innocent victims? May God forgive him of his wrong doings and bring him to an understanding of peace for all who live.

39. I wouldn't be surprised if the other pits are euthanized, as well. They have been trained to be agressive and as fighters. They will be looked at as being dangerous and unpredictable. I hope he gets charged with the death of the euthanzied dogs as well.

40. I hope his life goes down in flames.
What a jerk.
Of all the things he could do with his life.
Way to set an example for young people.
Waste of space.

42. Vick is a loser and as for the people saying animals are stupid think again, who are the ones who start wars, rape and steal? People not animals. Boycott Nike!!!

45. I guess this is what sick people who've got too much money and time on their hands do.
Tough guy, picking on poor defenseless animals.
I hope he goes to jail and becomes somebody's biotch !!!
