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.

122. to LA what is so great about you??? and what do you do for a living to justify that everyone else is a loser! and thank you but misery does love company and thats why your probably right there with him supporting it!! and get a new line!!! LOSER is something i said in middle school! so it sounds like you need to go back to college and "find yourself" And if your so smart and trying to SAVE THE WORLD but saying boycotting him is stupid really makes you a hypocrite! Your probably just to stupid to ever realize what you are saying and to far gone for school to help your SORRY A**! So you need to just SHUT UP AND THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN! LOSER!

127. you are right miranda but it wasnt the eating of meat I was alluding to, it was the mistreatment up to the slaughter I was reffering ," nothing humane about it ". and as far as abortions go I cant comment on whats right for you , I simply just posed a question is all. Killing is killing no matter how you look at it. Its up to us and our maker to account for the decisions we make in life.

130. AS A HERO AND ROLE MODEL TO MILLIONS HE SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON GIVING HOPE TO THE SICK LOVE TO THE CHILDREN AND HOPE TO ALL THAT THEY MAY SOMEDAY ACHIEVE SUCCESS ON SOME LEVEL. I HOPE THESE ALLEGATIONS ARE EMBELLISHED BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A TRAGEDY FOR A MAGNIFICENT ATHLETES TO BE BANISHED BY THE PUBLIC WHO LOOKS UP TO HIM.

131. costa mesa boy-

Just contact the Atlanta Falcons. It is like the womens' soccer team. Don Imus got fired. Just keep protesting. It is the "all about what the public wants" age.

....and by the way, Affirmative Action was voted OUT in Michigan in the last election. Didn't know that, did you? No more affirmative action in Michigan.

134.
You are absolutely correct for standing up for animal rights , and against the barbaric senseless cruelty that dog fighting imposes....But lets do a little litmus test of sorts to see if the ones that are the most outraged are not shall we say ,"HIPOCRATES". How many out there in cyberspace are against animal cruelty and at the same time chowing down on there favorite animal products? Have you seen those PETA videos on slaughter houses lately, ewe !? How many of you all have family members or boyfriends that hunt for the pure sport of it just so they can sever the head off a carcous and mount it on a wall? So how many of you out there are naturally against animal cruelty and at the same time approving of and or participating in the thousands of disgusting early and late term abortions of those beautiful and innocent little babies every year? What gets me is that the marjority of these procedures are what I call " recreational" meaning rape,incest or any other violent crime wasn't involved. Are you outraged about someone elses issues and not equally outraged about your own? HIPOCRATES!!!!!! First remove the rafter out your own eye, then you will see clearly how to remove the toothpick out someone elses eye! Me included ; - )

No one is supporting Vick..He was wrong no question, but because he was wrong look how viscous everyone is getting with comments etc...Really bringing their true colors out on things they believe that have nothing to do with dog fighting, but more with hang-ups they have about themselves and shortcomings in their own life. Dog Fighting has been an issue way before Vick, where's all the support for the animals then...And when all this dies down, you'll forget and wont say anything til another "tragedy" happens. Anyone who fights for cruelty against animals on a on going basis is awesome, but people LIKE YOU who want to vent anger (probably because your failing in school), need to take a look in the mirror. Goodbye Winner!!!!!!!!
