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 But there are three reasons the judged changes his mind and rescinded the ban: 1) Though injured, Vick is doingwell as an NFL quarterback, thrilling NFL fans with his play; 2) Vick has won over the hearts and minds of the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.”
“I will take good care of HutHut in my household. If they want to monitor me doing it, hey can,” said Vick, who noted that when he was growing up in Virginia he had many dogs, ranging from a beagle to a mixed breed.
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.
I AGREE WITH ALL THE PEOPLE THAT THINK HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALOWED TO OWN ANY KIND OF ANIMAL EVER AGAIN AND AGAIN TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR THE EAGLES WELL I DISOWNED THEM ANYONE THAT HIRES HIM SHOULD BE SOT ALSO……..IF IT WAS ANY BODY ELSE THEY WOULDN'T BE ALOUD TO EVER OWN AN ANIMAL AGAIN SO WHY HE BE ALOUD TO………O IT MUST BE HE'S GOT MONEY AND MONEY TALKS AND BULLSHIT WALKS HE IS A JOKE
WTF is wrong with the Humane Society. This all goes to show you that they suck and they are all about the money. Vick TORTURED these poor dogs and he gets to buy one.!!!! THIS IS TOTALLY BULLSHIT !!!! HE shouldnt be allowed to own any animal, even a goldfish after what he did. He can apologize all he wants, we all know he is mental for what he did to these dogs. I just cant believe this shit !!!! They quote.." We cant deny the girls" Well I say BS, let them understand why they cant have a fog…Cuz Daddy Tortured Them" He sucks and I really hope he dies a horrible death by bee stings or even better he gets his neck broke during a game..>DIE MIKE YOU ASSHOLE
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?
eat shit vick
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.
