Demand the NFL #DitchVick from the ProBowl

Demand the NFL #DitchVick from the ProBowl

The Issue

Stand with me and demand that the #NFL and the sponsors of the ProBowl #Disney (REALLY??!) #ESPN #Verizon and #Camping World listen to us and #ditchvick (Michael Vick) as Captain in the game on Jan 26, 2020.  

I am here to tell you that dog fighting is STILL alive & well in PHX AZ (and definitely elsewhere).  I see evidence of this WEEKLY at MCACC West Animal Shelter.  I have been taking photos of hundreds of dogs each week for 6 months and I am haunted by this.  I see dogs used as bait, dogs starved, dogs busting from the litters of dogs they have had, most likely conceived on a rape stand. I've seen dogs with ears missing, eyes missing, legs missing, faces badly scared.  ALL of which deserve our help, cause they can't help themselves.  They don't stand on two feet, and sometime not even four.  

There are reports from @YahooSports that say Michael Vick has even INCREASED dog fighting with his notoriety.   If we allow him to take that field on Sun Jan 26th we are saying that his athletic talent and #1 draft pick status is more important than the animals he abused.  And WE will be lifting up a man who most certainly will influence others, so that blood is on our hands too. 

Why should I have to choose between animals and football?  I am a lifelong CLE Browns fan, where we have a section of our stadium called the DAWG pound. Spelled differently intentionally.  HOW can we say this is OK?  

WHO WILL STAND with me for the Pittie Paws?  Let's show the #NFL and #ProBowl Sponsors that they are not the court of public opinion.  Demand they #ditchvick NOW.
