Following the release of a damning USDA report on Michael Vick's dogfighting activities—and an ominous silence from Vick's camp when we brought it to their attention—

PETA has sent a letter to the NFL calling for the league to require that Vick undergo a new brain-scanning procedure already in use at a New Mexico corrections facility that can test for psychopathy (anti-social personality disorder) before he is allowed to be a children's hero again.
Some of the most disturbing parts of the USDA report are:
-Vick enjoyed placing family pets in the ring  with fighting pit bulls
-Vick lied both to the NFL and again during his lie-detector test
Vick's behavior seems to fit the American Psychiatric Association profile for anti-social personality disorder (APD).

People with APD are commonly referred to as "psychopaths". They are usually male, often charming, prone to lying and manipulation, and incapable of genuine remorse.They can also take pleasure in inflicting cruelty. 

Before the NFL even considers the possibility of allowing Vick back into the League, where he will be in a position to influence many fans, including countless children, PETA wants the League to require him to undergo a brain scan, coupled with a structured, standardized test (e.g, the Psychopathy Checklist, approved by the American Psychiatric Association).

If Vick emerges from these examinations without evidence of psychopathy, this may mean that he has the capacity to express true remorse. If he is a psychopath, the chances of recidivism are great and remorse is virtually impossible. Please add your voice to this urgent request now.Take Action on This Issue.
