He has been schooled to say the right things to convince the public that he is a changed man. It is an insult to our intelligence. Let him put his money where his mouth is. Let him hire lobbyists to bombard Washington to create and pass laws that make puppy mills illegal and subject their owners to felony charges with mandatory prison sentences. I doubt if he will ever do this!!! Michael Vick is a criminal—pure and simple. He has been schooled to say the right things to convince the public that he is a changed man.

Even my husband, a big NFL football fan and a season-ticket holder for the Atlanta Falcons, thought he would have trouble getting a contract with an NFL team. Boy, he was wrong. Before seeing the 60 Minutes interview, I wondered if they would also have some folks on who saw and processed the evidence of Michael Vick's operation first hand so that that could be shared with the public as well. I was profoundly disappointed, of course. It was all about Vick and only Vick and almost nothing about the unspeakable cruelty that he perpetrated.

I don't think most people, including the apologist sports nuts, have any idea what really goes on in a staged dog fight. They probably think it's like if two dogs get into it at a dog park. It happens. Big deal. Not. I’ve seen some dog fight video on one of the animal cops shows and agree some footage should be prominently posted.

Haven't heard a word from him, though . . . guess MV is too busy giving interviews and working with his media coaches. This whole thing is just so, so wrong.

Publish the gore. For once, it won't be gratuitous, but a glaring light shining on this intentional, malicious evil that was engaged in by a heartless, cruel person who does not deserve to be called a man. Let the ugliness of his acts burn itself into the minds of everyone who sees them so they can't allow his lame-ass "apologies" to cover them up. The ONLY two things Vick is sorry for are that he got caught and that he had to serve jail time. He is scum of the lowest kind. And shame on all the people and organizations that are buying into his act and supporting him in this very public fraud. I'd like to put them ALL in a cage, naked and smeared with gravy, and let a pack of hungry pit bulls loose on their sorry selves. No mercy for those who show none. I agree with Susan on this one.

But I am so freaking tired of the "it's just an animal"..."they're just dogs" attitude Vick apologists are copping, that if there is gruesome evidence, the ASPCA should post it. For once, take a page out of PETA's handbook. Publish the blood and the gore. The vast majority of these jerks have never seen a dogfight and couldn't stomach one. They should have a look.
