Dog’s Reality Show Could be Biggest Obstacle for Vick’s Return to the NFL
January 29th, 2008
National Geographic is going to feature 4 of Vick’s victimized dogs in a reality show. The show will cover the dogs that are the toughest cases, and that could spell trouble for Michael Vick’s career ambitions if they point to the NFL.
The 22 animals now reside at Dogtown, the Best Friends animal sanctuary in Utah.
The series will focus on four of the toughest cases as the experts at Dogtown try to “resocialize these seriously aggressive pit bulls.”
“Dogtown” is in production on episodes set to premiere in the summer.
Conceivably, if America is introduced to these dogs and becomes emotionally attached the memory of Michael Vick’s cruelty to his own pets might keep sentiments high enough to prevent his return to the NFL. That sentiment could crest in a wave of unpopularity for Michael Vick if the dogs are unable to be rehabilitated.

I for one say “let the cards call where they may”. This man (coward) caused so much damage. He inflicted so much pain on defenseless animals who did not ask for the life that they got. I stand firm in saying that “I do not at all support the sentence that was imposed!” He killed by drowning, electrocution, slamming dogs to the ground and GOD only knows what else. There is one of his “dogs” that has absolutely NO teeth. They pulled every single teeth out of that poor babies mouth..The agony is gut wrenching…
He doesn’t deserve to ever set foot on another football field for money.
Unfortunately, there is no way that I think he could ever be punished enough for what cold acts he led. I know that God is not happy with how his precious animals were beaten, fought, starved and bred. And in the end Mr. Vick will have to answer to God and it will then be that true justice will be served.
I meant “LET THE CARDS FALL WHERE THEY MAY”

People are so quick to defend animals what about the child molesters, drunk drivers and murders that do their time in jail and once they are released back into society they continue their lives as normal US citizens: working and making their money. When Michael is released from prison he should be able to return to the NFL that is and was his job just like we welcome child molesters,etc back into our working society Michael Vick paid for his (small) crime LET HIM PLAY!! He still has thousands of fans that will support him no matter what team he plays for.
I attempt to be as respectful of your view tamekiacameron, when I ask “What planet are you living on that welcomes child molesters back to work?”
do you think the NFL would welcome a child molester back into its ranks after serving a year or two in prison?
I doubt it.
Even so, child molesteres are barely allowed back into their communities, sometimes even their homes.
I am not trying to equate Vick to a child molester, and I suspect you made the comparison trying to identify a criminal that had committed a crime worse than running a dog fighting ring, torturing animals and killing them with his bare hands for fun and profit, not to mention creating an environment that led to the murder of one of his business associates in North Carolina. That said, I do not believe Vick should be allowed back into the NFL where he would essentially receive the same financial stimulus that led him to invest in dog fighting to begin with.
If a CEO commits a crime and goes to prison, they can no loner be the officer of a company any more. If a cop breaks the law and goes to prison, they can no longer serve as a police officer any more. If a soldier breaks a law and serves time in prison they are almost never allowed to serve in the military any more.
I do not see why Michael Vick is any better than a former police officer, soldier or even the CEO of a company. He should not receive better treatment nor incentive to repeat his crime with money that he receives from his fans.

I perform with these dogs and as far as animal behavior goes, I am a firm believer in nurture and instruction. I’ve met Jack Russell Terriers that I would not go in close proximity to again, but have for no reason had a poor knowledge with an American Staffordshire Terrier. If you are speaking about their owners- well, which is a diverse story. Human beings are animals as nicely, and we tend to each have our individual concepts about “moral concepts”.
