mel what an absolute load of crap vick would have got reinstated no matter if peta wrote blogs or not the fact peta is continuing to write these blogs is to constantly remind people what he did and NEVER let him forget. people who care for animals want to know what vick is doing and if he's harming other animals so peta SHOULD keep people informed if as you say 'we ignore him and he fades in to anonyminity' then the chances are he'll start dogfighting again because people wont know what hes doing. and as for peta helping him with these blogs then i hardly think 'helping' him is to keep letting people know what disgusting things he did to the dogs and other household pets by helping him then surely the best thing to do is ignore him to let him free to do it again by writing these blogs it's constantly harming his reputation which is the least he can expect after what he did. I must say mel first the ringling editing you have a problem with and now this.. why exactly are you on here if your gonna constantly critisize petas efforts???

Before Vick was sentenced I spent at least 6 hrs everyday on the computer trying to get him convicted. He still hasn't been convicted of any local charges. Now I am spending long hours again contacting sponsors the Eagles computer site etc. Remembor he is only temporarily reinstated so please continue writing Roger Goodell roger.goodell2nfl.net.until Vick please God no is permanently reinstated. Howeveryesterday in tracking down other people to complain to I ran into an article on the Huffington Post that sat me back on my heels.Huggingtonpost.com I cried as I read it because I realized how I too was not without sin. Please please if you care at all about cruelty to animals pull it up and read it. It is written by Alec Baldwin and entitled "Michael Vick Black Sheep or Scapegoat on Animals Rights Aug 17 20091024 am. It is one of the most cogent articles I have ever read on animal rights. Read it and let me know how you feel and where we should go as humans from here. Thanks for caring for all the Animals. Nan McClain Virginia Beach VA.

I want to make it clear that one reason Vick even got a second chance is because groups such as you kept his name bandied about. My personal suggestion would be to STOP the preaching how horrible he is and move on. He'll fade away into anonymity soon enough remember he's been away from football for some time and that WILL affect him when he does potentially finally get to play. Seriously PETA THINK! You're helping him not harming him with these blogs.

''Its all very good that he served time and that he lost his careerthat he lost respect and will forever be called a felon and dogfighter when he comes on the screen all that is fine''LMAO 3 I love Ingrid Newkirk. The NFL are sickening to have a monster like that on their team. He should be thrown to a pack of wild dogs and savaged to death and all his wages should be taken and given to anti dog fighting charities.

I work in mental health. Any individual that tortures animals has freakin' problems. He may be able to play football but doesn't change what is in his heart. He is a sick individual.

The guy is a fool. it is important what he does after he is released and heading to a strip joint when he was away from his 3 kids shows he is still not reform.
