PHILADELPHIA – Michael Vick bought a new dog – a beagle!
NFL star and current starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Michael Vick, made headlines three years ago when he was convicted of dogfighting. Well, now he’s bought a new dog – it’s a beagle for the Eagle!
As part of Vick’s dogfighting sentence, a judge banned Vick from owning a dog ever again. But there are three reasons the judged changes his mind and rescinded the ban: 1) Though injured, Vick is doingwell as an NFL quarterback, thrilling NFL fans with his play; 2) Vick has won over the hearts and minds of the citizens of The City of Brotherly Love; and 3) Vick’s daughters really want a dog. “Ah, come on, we can’t deny the girls a dog,” said Judge Herman Wilton of West Virginia.
After the judge announced his decision, Vick immediately ent out and bought a cute, little beagle. He named the dog, HutHut.
Here they are together on the gridiron:
Vick thinks that having HutHut as a pet is a big step in his rehabilitation process.
“Having a pet in my household, shows people that I care for animals.”
William Tacatoo, president of the Humane Society of the Pennsylvania, says he has been around Vick a good deal over the last two years and feels confident Vick would be a great pet owner. “He loves dogs, he really does.”
Since being released, Vick has made appearances on behalf of the Humane Society as well as addressing various students groups on the lessons he’s learned.
“HutHut will live a happy life,” Vick said. “I know that. He will be the happiest beagle on earth.”
WWN wishes the Eagle and the Beagle good luck… safe home.
Is this story true? I sure hope not.
I guess Beagles make good bait dogs.
looks photo shopped to me
Wicked photo shopped
It does Nancy. Did he get a dog?
I am so sick of all the people giving Vick a bad rap for what he did. The man served 2 YEARS in prison and has paid his debt to society. He has made a minds for his actions and he is trying to live a normal life. Everyone needs to quit giving him so much crap for what he has done. If he messes up again than shame on him, but as long as he continues to lead a normal life, everyone should honor his ability to do so and get off of his back. Seriously, people do less time for assaulting and murdering human beings, all he did was fight some dogs. I myself am a pet lover and I love dogs, I would never fight my animals, but I can appreciate the fact that Vick took responsibility for his actions, served two years in prison and is now performing admirably in society. Please, give the guy a break…
So you're saying you'd be fine with giving your dog to him? He didn't just fight dogs he murdered them in the most horrible ways. Maybe you should get some of your facts straight or maybe you think that putting jumper cables on dogs ears and throwing them in a pool to be shocked to death slowly is an ok practice? or that pulling out the teeth with pliers of a dog is ok so they won't fight back when they're forced into mating, or that it's ok to hang and beat a dog.
I feel sorry for any animal that this excuse for a human owns.
kudos!!!!
I couldn't have said it better myself.
Dont forget about hanging them and beating them with 2x4s until they stopped kicking. (dead)
That one was revealed in his show out of his own mouth. Funny how all the vick fans are clueless about what he has done… watch his show… Vick himself talks about what he did and to be honest … his whole redemption show made me hate him more.
he did NOT serve his full sentence! Please do the research. He is not even sorry for what he did, he even told the press that he hadn't been caught– he would still be doing it!
Vick is a dick, plain and simple..He was never sorry for what he had done to those dogs, wait, I take that back, he is sorry,,sorry that he got caught……
I'd like to give him a break…I'd like to break his freaking neck…but Karma will have her way and he will pay…far more than the 18 months he served in jail….
Vicks is a monster who should still be locked up! Shame on society for rewarding him with wealth and glory. What he did was pure, base EVIL…….get your eyes off the hype and glitz and take a good look at what this monster did to helpless animals……………and this barbaric practice is still going on! He didn't take responsibility….he was caught!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give him a break? I would love to, every bone in his body. NO animal lovers do not do what he did. What is a judge doing allowing him to own anything? If i was a mother of his children I would be fighting tooth and nail, to make sure he never saw his children again. How many people would be so Pro-Vick if he was sitting on the side lines not being the football hero? This makes me sick, as do all the so called animal lovers that have forgiven him. The law sucks, do you really think that he will hold his temper if this dog does something he don't like. NO !!!! He is an abuser, plane and simple, and a pro football super hero does not make a bit of difference to me. He did his time, let him get on with his life. As long as it is animal free. I shake my head, wondering how you can trust the Humane Society if they in fact stand behind this monster.
People who torture, yes that is what he did…he did not just fight dogs, he also threw them in a pool and electrocuted them, do not get another chance. In my opinion they should not be allowed to have children either. The statistics are out there animal abusers are often child and women abusers as well.
You idiot. He went to prison for racketeering, not dogfighting. He did NOT pay for what he did… nor have any other dogfighters. I'm so sick of all you idiots siding with him b/c he plays ball (and not even that well…) b/c you THINK you know what he went to prison for – it was NOT for dogfighting. He killed and tortured dogs, isn't sorry, got some publicity, played ball for a game or two and is still nowhere near the type of human who should ever be able to have a dog again.
The man never served a day for torturing/murdering animals or for dog fighting, he served for racketeering.
the only break he deserves is a broken neck.
im sorry but when you hurt/kill a living creature you shouldnt get a slap on the wrist you should be euthanized!!!
He did not take responsibility for his actions. He blamed it on his upbringing. I'm sorry, but there is no way that a person who is morally sound could think that killing/abusing AS MANY DOGS as him could have thought that what he was doing was right or okay.
He killed over 65 pitbulls in his dog fighting ring. You let a normal person do that and see if they get any mercy, no they wouldn't and you're a stupid ignorant asshole for thinking he deserves a second chance. I bet you've never even owned a pittie, I bet you've never even read the stories of the pitbulls who have survived this dumb asses abuse, you don't know what horror they had to go through. And you think this guy deserves a second chance.. Dear God, I hope you don't have kids.
He never accepted responsibility he took a lesser plea, get your info correct, and slamming a dog onto concrete , repeatedly, does not nor will ever constitute being a dog lover.
People don't want to hear the truth. No one is ever going to change their minds because they are closed off. The almighty football is more important than a dogs life. Something they can all be proud of and will have to live with. Morals—people who support him have none. People who support him should be ashamed of themselves. They won't, nor do they care to educate themselves about what the disgusting human being did. Wasting breath trying to get them to open their eyes to the truth. I guess famous people can get away with murder after all:( If this was your neighbor, I highly doubt you'd be okay about it. You'd be wanting the person out of your neighborhood. Sad state of the world when sports and fame seem to be all that some people can see. I feel sorry for this beagle. This man does not know how to love an animal. He has shown how he loves animals and it is disgusting. I wouldn't trust this guy. Bet he still is involved in dog fighting….he's just smarter now.
He didn't change………HE GOT "CAUGHT"……HE IS A SICK, POOR EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING……
Are you absolutely sure those photos are authentic? They both look heavily Photoshopped to me, especially the second one. The one with the dotted blue line above the Beagle looks like a very apparent bad fitting layer plus the dog itself would need legs 3 feet long to be able to stand that high to Vick's hips. This is a joke, right?
I wish Vick would just disappear. And take his buddy Obama with him.
Unbelieveable! I thought he was Court Ordered Not to own a dog! He is a disgraceful human being. He basically got away with these horrible murders of innocent dogs (2 years pls!) & now he wants a "pup" of his own. I am so sick of celebrities getting away with anything & everything. There is no room for for this behavior in a civilized society. He can play football—who cares! He is a horrible, cruel human being & should Never be allowed to own any animal.
supposed to be comedy people.but i guess the funny part, is that people actually believe this rag .
I feel so sorry for that dog. I got rid of my Eagles Team shirt. I no longer can support them.
Very sad
What a horrible human being he is. That judge should have told him to explain to his daughter about consequences for deplorable actions. That judge must have taken his stupid pills for letting a person like him have a dog. He tortured countless numbers of dogs and now he has a right to own one. Just because he has fans fooled others should be more rationale logical and quite thinking about only football. How about they think of all the innocent lives he ruined with what he did.
Not only should this murderer and felon still be locked up, he should never have been allowed back into football. His owning of a dog is an obvious public relations stunt. He claimed dog fighting really wasn't his fault because growing up he learned that dog fighting is black culture.
In this country, we celebrate the athlete regardless of whatever immoral and degenerate actions they are involved in. There are many deviants in the NBA and many many felons in football. Big money allows these ignorant hooligans prosper and thrive so the team owners can make even bigger fortunes.
all those who support Vick. Think of this. Imagine your children growing up and getting involved with dog fighting. Imagine them raising 20 abused pitbulls that are chained outside all day, taught to be aggressive, beaten, starved, so they can put them in a ring to fight for the purpose of gambling. Then imagine YOUR child murdering their losing dogs by electrocution, hanging and as Vick admitted to Body Slamming to DEATH.
what would you think of your child? is that the type of person you would want to raise? For all the men out there who don't think this is an issue, imagine what your wife would think? Well, Vick is the poster boy for these actions. By allowing him back into football, you, the football fan have validated his actions.
It's one thing to get a second chance, it's another thing to allow someone who killed dogs without regard for life and gambled on whether his dogs would win a fight, to be a role model for your kids.
If parents are a role model for their children then they don't' have to depend on athletes. When a person goes to jail, serves their time, and comes out they should be allowed to go back to work. This is what he was doing for a living before he went to jail and should be allowed to continue just like others do. Since his release he has done everything possible to educate himself and support various animal rights groups. He can't change what he did, but he can change what he does in the future. People with children should focus their time on educating them about things like this and why people should be forgiven and be allowed to change their life.
I don't believe you have listened to him speak about what he did or you surely wouldn't be saying this. The only reason he isn't currently fighting. torturing and murdering innocent animals is because he was caught and forced to stop, he has said this himself. If this horrible act was done by someone who wasn't famous for playing a stupid game that Americans ridiculously hold in high regard, he would NOT have been allowed to return to his previous job and people would NOT forgive and forget. He is laughing at how stupid you all are for letting his life return to normal, even he knows that shouldn't have happened. Personally I believe he will receive what he deserves someday……..you don't really get to get away with that type of cruelty……….eventually it will come back and bite you in the ass!
ABSOLUTELY! Frank you have done your homework and are notblinded by the aura of sports hoopla.
I agree with everything you said
You Have To Be Kidding He Got A Dog? That No Good SOB Murder Got A Dog? He Is A Dog Killer An Animal Abuser He Will Always Be A Dog Killer. I Would Love To Put Raw Meat On Him And Turn The Dogs Loose He Is A Loser And DOG KILLER
Im sure that Judge also allowed Drunk drivers who killed people off the hook as well….".Ahh, will give him one more chance". It Goes to show how funded our system is by people with lots of money and pull……..If it was up to me Vick should not be able to watch the Animal channel….He Broke the law and Now He needs to Carry the wieght on his shoulders for the rest of his life…….in his case there is NO second chances…I have two dogs (pitts) and foster a third…..He is on the top of the Shit list in my book…….He should be sentenced to pick up Dog shit for the rest of his life. Period!
Michael Vick not only fought dogs, but he also totured dogs that didn't perform well by electrocuting them, droening and slamming them to the ground until death. He did NOT serve any time for animal cruelty. His time served was for operating an illegal dog business. He lied to the NFL until his 2 buddies ratted him out for a plea bargain. He was hired back by the NFL (Since when does the NFL hire felon's?) given a 100 million dollar contract. Received numerous awards, received endorsement contracts and became a spokeperson for the HSUS against dog fighting (Wayne Pacalle from HSUS rallied for Michael Vick). Michael Vick is a sick sick person and the judge who let him have a dog needs to be fired from his job!
This better be a freaking joke! No sane person would allow it.
To anyone who defends Vick in any way shape or form- shame on YOU! He paid his debt to society??? What a joke! he murdered animals in the most vicious of ways for not winning a fight after they had their faces ripped off by other dogs? he didn't do it humanely, which why it was done is sickening beyond words, but to do it in ways that show how IN-human this sludge is and then act as though he will EVER be normal is just as bad as the acts he committed. You are despicable to me!
Monitor him like crazy. He should not be allowed near any animal. When his team plays I always root for the other team because I can’t stand him.
I THOUGHT THIS DOG KILLER WAS BANNED AGAINST EVER OWNING A DOG AGAIN THIS IS JUSTICE BULLCRAP.THAT MURDERER HAS ANOTHER DOG TO ABUSE THEN KILL THIS IS SO WRONG JUST BECAUSE THE ASSHOLE HAS MONEY HE THINK HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE WANTS.WONDER IF THIS IS HIS NEXT BAIT DOG I BET IT IS
the pics look 100% fake, but the ignorance of people leaves me not doubting the judges decision to allow this evil murderer to own a dog. as I said, the only break Vick deserves is a broken neck.
and Im sick and tired of these so-called heros who's only ability in life is to throw a stupid ball around get away with murder…case in point, O.J. Simpson, and now this moron Vick. Get a life society, these idiots are nothing more than jocks making millions off of suckers, PERIOD.
and Im sick and tired of these so-called heros who's only ability in life is to throw a stupid ball around get away with murder…case in point
The dogs he harmed are all still living with the things he did to them so no i will not forgive him, maybe not ever. No amount of court required paying for his sins will work for him to earn my forgiveness. Those dogs are still living with a lifelong illness caused from being bitten. They will never recover, one even had her teeth surgically removed. How would he feel to have his teeth removed? No dog deserves that. To fight dogs for money when you don't need money is absolutely heartless and beyond my understanding. His children should not have to suffer they didn't do anything wrong. That is the only part I understand and cannot fault the judge for that. I'd like to see him volunteering his time at an animal shelter or rescue and give his money willingly to animal groups not affiliated with the humane society who only donate 1% of their money to animal shelters in need. Maybe then I would change my mind or if he used his connections to help break up some fighting rings, maybe then I might believe he was actually sorry.
Contessa, no not all the dogs he harmed are still living…..he drowned, electrocuted, and body slammed them to death
OUTRAGEOUS… The judge needs to step down… this is a travesty… All those dogs that he, himself abused, and killed with his bare hands, the dogs that he electrocuted, drowned and beat again the ground until they were dead, then he would go kiss his children good night, what a monster, those children don't have to look under their beds they know where the monster is … He should not be allowed to be around children, never mind animals. What an example, next his children will grown to think that abuse is OK… Shame on humanity for allowing this monster to appear on TV, getting paid millions, holding his head up high, with the satisfaction of knowing "he got away with murder" truly a shameful day, for the entire USA…
I will believe it when I see a picture that's not photoshopped…either way,it's a bunch of bull
I wonder what sickvick has in store for this little canine;electrocute, hang, drown, body slam? vick is a low life scum, always was, and always will be. The only break this maggot deserves is in the spinal column-paralyzed for life-respirator dependent. I pray he breaks his neck either on or off the playing field…..
if the judge can give this man a second chance for the cruel way he treated a pitbull (making the dog fight) and after 3 years the judge said he deserves a Second Chance as he done his crime THEN ALL dangerous breed should have a SECOND CHANCE and the BAN SHOULD BE LEFTED FOR THESE DOGS!! because if it was not for the people like VICK ,our dogs would had not got the BEEDS SO HATED….
I do not like what vick did but instead of dumping money here and there to make it look good why doesnt he give money for care for the rest of there lives to the owners for the dogs he has damaged also why not have to give it to the breed he destroyed for example pitsbulls and parolies.. i am sure there are also others that are fighting for this breed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vick is a sociopath and shouldn’t be close to animals let alone have one. And for all you morons that think he served his time for the crimes, HE DID NOT! He was not convicted of animal cruelty because he made a plea deal. If he would have been tried for animal cruelty and convicted, he would have gone to prison for 40 years (5 years for each 8 count that they had evidence for). So that’s why the degenerate made a plea deal, he knew the evidence was stacked against him and he would be sitting in prison for a long, long time.
Nice, the admin edited my comment where I said this story is bogus. I'm sure they won't approve this comment either.
He was NEVER supposed to own a dog again. The Humane Society has found yet another way to make themselves look bad! Game over, time out….Your done!
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Demand-Wayne-Pac…
He is a worthless piece of trash..period~!
Vick is a worthless waste of life and deserves a horrible death equal to the ones he inflicted on those dogs. Anyone who thinks he deserves a second chance supports animal cruelty, end of story. %$@! you Vick.
Allowed to have another animal? Pffft! He should be made to hand over all his money to the animal society to pay for all the medical treatment the dogs had to have and for all the pain he made them poor babys to endure! Wanker!
He shouldn’t own a dog PERIOD.
This is just plain wrong. Vick was told in court he could never have another animal and now he has been so reformed that he just loves dogs? I don't friggin think so. He didn't do his time and the judge didn't follow up on the original do's and don't's. He can afford to buy his way out of anything and he has done so.
this makes me sick. the judge in thiss case is just as bad as michael vick…poor hut hut…i pray for his safety.
you are such a dick for making this up. get a hobby.
Vomit! What idiot would give this nutjob a dog?! Just because it's a beagle doesn't mean it can't be fought or trained to fight or be abused! Poor dog, if this is true.
Michael Vick owning a dog makes me feel sick!
Wow, I wonder if this article is as factual as the one about the FLESH EATING BANANAS AND THE BLOOD LAKE!!!!! Wait, Batboy is on the cover so this must be true!!
worthless piece of shit and poor dog. I hope someone rescues him from this piece of crap he lives with. and what the heck was that judge thinking, he must not like dogs either
Not the best Photoshop job I have ever seen. I don't think it will ever be funny to joke about this guy, unless a pack of pit bulls tears off his face. That would be hilarious.
It's good to see so many judge, jury, and executioners. God, the Creator, or whatever you believe is the only judge. I think what Vick did is grotesque. But if he's said he's changed, I have to take his word AND it's not my place to judge. I can see why people bring the race card out on this one though. White people do far worse than this, but you don't hear as much HATRED. Give Ben Roth of the Steelers this much disgust for RAPING/ABUSING actual HUMAN BEINGS and get back to me.
I'd like to be shut in a room with him and some VERY vicious dogs. That POS doesn't deserve to even still be playing football after what he did!!!!!!
a little non publicized fact. While raiding the "bad news Kennels" investigators came upon a kennel of beagles. The puzzled investigators were baffled. After much speculation the dogs purpose, they found out that Vick and his co- conspirators were using beagle puppies as "bait" and to excite the pitts in the ring because of the beagle's legendary bark they emit particularly when they are scarred. i do not know why this information has escaped the media. Why this monster is still playing, I cant comprehend. vick did NOT serve his time for animal cruelty. he served time for GAMBLING. I am saddened that people cannot look at the bigger picture. until we treat ALL those less than us humanely, we will continue to suffer as a species and commit atrocities against one another.
Where did you get your information regarding the beagles? I saw the news story where they found five beagles and two Rottweilers in the house, all healthy. At the time they surmised the dogs were part of the "front" image, that of a successful and well-off NFL player. I'd like to know how the purpose you reported for their presence at Vick's house was determined. Thanks.
I don:t think he should EVER get the chance to own another dog and he deserve ever bad rap he gets he gpt a second chance some of the pits didn"t
What a bunch of racist crap!!!!!! I don't hate vick because he is black, I hate him because he is a psycho!!!!! How is comparing what vick did and weather or not he should ever be allowed to own another animal have to do with serial killers or what color they are. If you have ever read in depth the horrible things he was able to do to animals and look at it not from a football fans eyes but eyes of a compassionate human then you would understand!!!!! His behavior on the field has proven that he is still a hateful twisted individual. I don't give a dam what color he is, how good he can throw a ball, or what an excellent liar he is…..he is a psycho who needs lots of mental health care!!!!!
OMG! I can’t believe the judge changed his mind, you gotra be freaking kidding me!!!!!! How’s that judge gonna feel when Vick screws up yet again? I will never understand it, never….
OK what the hell-Vick having another dog–is that judge out!!! And as far as the Humane Society backing Vick–I have NO use for them either!!! This monster has been put on a pedastal because he can play football-Eagles you guys can have him-but don't display a helpless animal with him! The 2 does not go together! This decision is a wrong one!! He should NEVER be allowed around dogs let alone owning one. As far as I am comcerned I would never support Humane Society again, let the Eagles enter my living room, or have any respect for justice again!! Where is the justice for the dogs Vick DESTROYED!!!!!!! If some of you don't agree with me that's ok-it's your right but think of the right of the dogs!!!
how big is your living room
Poor dog,I hope he really realizes how precious they really are.If he does he could do a lot of good work in their favor.I pray that little one will be safe.If he hurts it he should be locked up forever.
okay, so his ids want a dog, he likes having pets . . . nobody likes this animal abuser/killer anymore. why do you think he's been charged at so many times – and given so many concussions – for? there have been so many people who'd raher go to prison for KILLING VICK, over him having anymore animals! "HutHut" is better off living on the streets, as a stray, than living with this "man."why give him another chance after killing so many dogs, damaging heirlives, and then denying that he had any kowledge of it going on when it was cleary on his property? i think that judge needs to be kicked off the bench – fired! – becuse he just killed "HutHut."
we are watching you Michael……
It's just like Chris Brown nearly beating the life out of Rhianna – if you're not white you get a free pass.
OMG….Well maybe we should just give all child molesters a kid, I honestly cant believe this
I have a T-Shirt that came out after he was arrested and it says "Hide your Beagle…Vicks an Eagle"
You dont just wake up one morning and kill dogs, this means you have a wire loose and you are CRAZY… the serial killers of the world always start off by killing animals
You cant Re-Hab that
If Vick didn't get caught he'd still be doing the same thing. What a publicity stunt. ..and shame on you, HSUS for buying into this fairy tale.
Does anyone know who the judge is that gave in to his demands?
wonder if he'll hang, drown, electrocute, then beat it's on concrete til it's dead too.. lowlife piece of crap like him doesn't deserve the love of ANY dog.. as for his girls wanting a dog Vick needs to sit down and explain to them that daddy beat and forced them to fight to the death.. poor dog that's all i can say..
Vick's an Eagle – Hide ALL the Beagles!!!!!!
Oh My God. I think I am going to be sick.
This appears to be a fake news site. Hope so.
I hear Gary Ridgeway wants to be set free so he can start a counseling program. Maybe someone should give him the name of this judge. I am sure Ridgeway feels he has been rehabilitated too.
Vick is a monster and he should be made to read what he did to those poor defenseless animals every night before he goes to bed. I cannot believe the guy actually has kids. What kind of woman could know what he did and not make a move to protect her children?
My stomach turns…
The woman is like alot of people she is all about the money and could care less.
Don't you people have proofreaders for your garbage?
I'm vomiting as I sit here with tears running down my face. A convicted "dog" killer – I'm so sick. How can this happen and have it be justice…… Never to have a dog again – means never to have a dog again. Yet, money does talk and I don't trust the justice system when things like this happen. I feel for the poor pup. Huthut needs our prayers. Prayers that the judge overturns this virdict and he can find a new home where he is safe. This judge should be ashamed of himself. And as far as his following – how about how he gets hurt every game just about. How he gets sacked. And I thought I read that he was being traded to the Seahawks because he was out so much with injuries. I'm sickened and I hope this judge reads all these. And I hope he can sleep tonight also. Pray pray for this little dog.
I totally agree with you,he should never be able to own any fur friend
he's also the guy that slammed a dogs head over and over into the ground until it died because the dog lost a fight. not caring how much pain that dog was in and how confused that dog was that the person he loved with all his/her heart was killing him/her. he also drowned dogs for losing. this man is doesnt deserve to own an ant. he can apolpgize all he wants but a killer will always be a killer.
Hope poor little HutHut doesn’t end up as a bate dog like so many other cute little beagles MV
had!
This is a Joke right….? No this has to be a joke….No really this is a joke because look at the picture of the dog it's a cut and paste….And the spelling is off just like in the scam emails…Right . I really do hope that this is a Joke…….No judge can be that stupid……He didnt become media blinded did he?
…..Okay someone please tell me this was a joke………
The beagle is also trying to kick his Three Packs a Day habit, I suppose?? :/
Too bad Jeffrey Dahlmer is dead. Maybe we could have him rehab in Vicks house along with Vick and his 2 daughters since everyone is so confident all some one has to do is say they've changed. Maybe we could find another serial killer / rapist to stick in his house.
Dont worry guys. I felt angry too. It's just a hoax.
The worst case of photoshopping, too! ☺
In China they eat dog meat and love it.
no they don't, you idiot.
Yes they do …. But the relevance to this story is what?
Dogs are abused, skinned beaten, burned and treated appaling ly all over the world. Rathwer than sitting here commenting on obvious bullsh*t stories get down to your local shelter and ask How Can I Help?
As an animal lover,if your caught abuseing any animal,prison sentence,huge fine,never be able to own ant animal in your life time
He bought a dog. Why didn't he save one from the HSUS. They are the ones who have done much for his rehabilitation.
HSUS doesn't keep or adopt out dogs. Just an FYI. Send your donations to your LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER, not HSUS
That's what I was thinking! He went out and BOUGHT a dog? Why didnt he set a good example and RESCUE one instead?!?
Sick, just makes me sick. Reformed or not, he should NEVER BE ALLOWED TO OWN A DOG! Maybe he should have thought about his daughter while he was forcing hundreds of Beagles into slow agonizing deaths as bait dogs!
Excuse my language but F* this, I am so livid!
It's a hoax……thank God!
I am sickened at the thought of this! How disgraceful that this monster was allowed to play in the NFL again and earn $100 million plus now be allowed another dog! He should be rotting in Hell not playing football or allowed to own even a cockroach! Besides when his fighting dogs performed poorly they were brutally murdered. He has played awful this seasona and been hurt and I dont see any torture consquences for him! What a MONSTER!!!
I can't belive this!!! That poor beagle! Then, we're told Mike really loves dogs! When did that "love" begin??? How can you "really love" dogs and play a big part in a dog fighting/torture ring???? This is an insult to all decent people! Does Vic and his fans think most of us are stupid???? What happens when his daughters grow up and leave the house.
Is he going to give that beagle to some lab for "research??"
what a crock!! he should never be akkowed to own a dog….he doesnt deserve and what a liar….if he loved dogs he would never have done what he did. he should be in jail or hopefully sone football player eill break his legs so he will never play football again, the only thing he does love….he us a murderer torturerer, and deserved real punishment. check out his dogs that were saved s@ pet pardons…i hope vick rots in hell! this pooor beagle is a front, but u cant rehadb a murderer
It might be a hoax Megan – but it raises the anger because people KNOW that Michael Vick was involved in the torture, killing, beating, slamming to the ground, use of rape stands as well as the fighting. That people use this as a "joke" is sick.
People are saying this is a hoax. Is it?
That judge should have his head examined. This man is a monster and he has not changed one iota. He is shoving it our faces that he can have a dog. The Humane Society sold out
His daughters should have to wait until they are grown – what a crock of shit this is.
Obviously this is a tongue-in-cheek fictional piece. However, because Michael Vick was such a public figure his case received massive media coverage, and brought the fact of dog-fighting in the U.S. into mainstream awareness. As a result, interest was raised in the fate of Vick's dogs. Previously it had been standard procedure to euthanize all dogs seized from fighting operations, but this time there were protests, and calls to view the dogs as victims instead of vicious killers.
Kudos to BAD RAP and the other rescue organizations for saving 47 of Vick's pit bulls, rehabilitating and placing about 30 of them into loving homes, and also for helping change the negative image of a wonderful breed of dog. Because of the success of their efforts, other dogs seized in raids (like the "Missouri 500") are now also being evaluated individually and given a second chance. For that reason, and that reason only, I am thankful for Michael Vick. But I would never trust him with a dog again.
Humane Society"s director, Wayne purcell, sold out. Wayne was trying to sell his book and used vick to do it, vick used wayne to get what he wanted. He doesn't care about the dogs he tortured, killed, and electrocuted. The Judge is one of those that are influenced by sports figures on hollywood liberals.
I thought Vickie was banned from having a dog.
1. He should NEVER be allowed to own ANY animals ever again
2. He should have went to prison for what he did (not for his gambling)
3. He should have been banned from ever playing in the league
Do people, incl. judges, not understand that young, vulnerable kids watch & learn from our athletes? They idiolize them, do we really want anyone looking up to this @#$@ as a role model?
Shame on the judge, shame on the NFL!!!
People like Michael Vick turn into Serial Murderers! Haven't American's learned that lesson????
well i guess we all know why this world is a shit hole because if monsters have money they are above the law.
yes mike vicks daughters did deserve a dog …..BUT they also deserve a dad that isnt a murderer. mike vick having a dog at all would be like a millionare torturing, electricuting, and killing new born babies. and then paying off america to adopt infants. (do you see how this sounds hanous?)
infants and domestic animals are no diffrent.
-they cant speak, they cry when they're hurt, and they dont understand right and wrong, they just want to make you happy. they are smaller then us and though they can defend themselfs dogs are programed to be loyal to servive but that didnt even help mike's dogs they all were bruitaly murdered.
Michael Vick is the most offensive disgusting worthless human being on this planet. May he rot in stinking hell along with anything he brings into the world. Anything that comes from him cant be any better. Die a rotten death Michael Vick. you and your family and stay the F out of New Haven CT. We have enough shit to worry about here and dont need a piece of trash like you coming here stinkin up the streets. YOU DOG KILLIN SCUM BAG
He is disgusting. I do not think he should ever own an animal and as a matter of fact, I think someone needs to drown him in a bucket of water and see how he likes it. What in the world is wrong with our courts ???? I feel so bad for the poor dog that he adopted.
I used to work as an animal control officer dealing with low class scum like Vick everyday. I used to literally "pick up the pieces" left behind after filth like Vick were done. I understand he did his time, but in the county where I worked, we usually got the judge to also order that the charged criminal was NEVER allowed to own a pet of any knid in our county again.
I understand he did his time, but he does not deserve to own a dog, just like he does not derserve to play professional sports AND I am a lifelong EAGLES fan! Just because he did his time does not mean he has a right to own a dog. Maybe in the eyes of the law, but not with me. I hope that dog bites his nuts off, shocks and electricutes him, maybe even drown him……or force him to run on a treadmill for hours or drag him behind a car and force him to run til he drops….. Hey maybe the dog can actually teach the f'in bum to hold onto a damn football!? What a stupid piece of sh*t.
LET IT GO PEOPLE HE MADE A MISTAKE ITS OVER NOW GET OVER IT,FOR GOD SAKE WE HAVE MORE PROBLEMS THEN THAT IN THIS COUNTRY….LIKE ON LINE PORN AND DRUGS THAT CANNOT BE CONTROLLED ANYWHERE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRY TO DO TO STOP IT…THATS A PROBLEM …..GUNS THAT THESE KIDS CARRY AROUND WHEN THERE 12YRS OLD REALLY TRY TO FOCUS ON THAT,, ITS ABOUT HUMAN LIFE HERE NOW……..
Human torturing animals= unhealthy perspective on life in general…..I refuse to support the Eagles, or the NFL.
A mistake? He tortured, raped, abused,drowned, hung, killed animals. I cannot let that go. If you value human life, you will care about animal's lives too. He is a murdering sadist and I wouldn't trust him around people either, I will focus where I like, CIndy, this man is a monster and he shouldn't just be able to go on with his life like he didn't do anything. No dog should have to be at his mercy ever again.
He's a phony and you people who are Eagle fans are just as bad for routing for such a low life.
Let's get rid of Wayne Purcell . He can certainly be replaced if he wants to sell out animals .
Be careful when you judge because we're all Michael Vick. View the video that I have posted, you'll bear witness to 'food' animals that are being as cruelly treated as Vick's dogs. Let me know after you viewed the video, if I'm telling the truth or not? http://www.meatvideo.com/
Julieeyrich, I am not Michael Vick, ok. You are a dangerous idiot if you think that what Michael Vick did to those unfortunate dogs is like people who eat meat you are seriously delusional and need a lot of help. Back on earth, we need to do something about our laws and enforcement on dog fighting and abuse of animals. Vick wasn't even convicted on these offenses, he was convicted of gambling. He made a plea bargain and got off on the animal abuse. We need to do something about our judicial system too. This is intolerable. The Humane Society did their part to be sure to give cover to Vick to get another dog – Wayne Pacelle says he will be a great dog owner. We need to do something about them too.
I want to know who on earth would sell Michael Vick a dog??? Seriously – where did he get it? Maybe he sent one of his minions out to buy a puppy mill dog from the local mall petstore. Stay classy, @ssbag.
No one has the right to wish death upon someone. You people are borderline psycho yourselfs. You cant just say its wrong and you disagree. Youre throwing out the he should die and have his nuts bit off bs. Radical people like you scare me more than Vick does. Have fun ranting on the internet, getting nowhere with your arguments.
