Fire Michael Vick!

Fire Michael Vick!

The Issue

When police raided Vick's house in Surry County in 2007, they found 65 dogs (nearly all pit bulls), a dog-fighting pit, blood-stained carpets, and various equipment commonly used in dog fighting.

According to the federal indictment, when dogs at Vick's Bad Newz Kennels lost a fight, or failed to perform well in 'test matches,' they were routinely killed by methods including electrocution, hanging, drowning, and in at least one case by "slamming" the dog’s body onto the concrete floor. In one session in April 2007, at least eight dogs were killed through these methods.

Vick took part in these executions along with his partners Purnell Peace, and Quanis Phillips. The indictment detailed a March 2003 incident, in which a female pit bull who had just lost a match was killed. Vick and Peace decided to kill her by "wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting her."

You see, some crimes are so heinous that the perpetrator will be forever viewed as a pariah by those who are civilized.

Of course, the National Football League was willing to overlook Vick's savagery and welcomed back the all-pro quarterback, where he joined many other convicted felons.

That doesn't mean that the New York Jets should welcome this sociopath to the team. As a fan I request that the New York Jets organization not consider Michael Vick.
