Michael Vick wants to own a dog

I say slather him in some beef fat, tie pork chops to his genitals and let 20 ravenous dogs have a go.

If he survives he can own a Pekinese.

I don't think he should be able to have a dog. Just because he wants one isn't a good enough reason. You don't have to have a dog just because you want one.

Man I heard he once had some kind of STI .... is that safe for the doggies?

That sounds lethal ....some serious torcher.

As someone employed by the wonderful judicial system, I'd say there is a vast difference in comparing a child molestor to someone who was convicted of animal cruelty. Both wrong, yes. However, the severity of the offence differs. Not saying I condone what Vick did, it actually makes me sick, but the purpose of our system is to attempt to rehabilitate, denunciate, to apply retribution, and to reintegrate the offenders into the community. Now depending on the offence, once again, sometimes the offender is so fargone, there is really no chance of rehabilition and in essence they strictly fall under the retribution category. In this case, I think its fair to say that people do things sometimes that are incredibly stupid and selfish and harmful to others, and the proper sentence was handed to Vick in this case.

I can say, in Canada, someone convicted of an act of animal abuse would BARELY get a conditional sentence of probation, so to me Vick did his time and when the appropriate time comes he should be able to prove that he is in fact rehabilitated. As someone said, this dog would be probably be treated better than most people do.

Also, on a sidenote I have never heard of a Dog Prohibition - Weapons Prohibition/Driving Prohibition yes, but never a 'puppy prohibition'.

Just my .02

Michael Vick wants to own a dog

Michael Vick, who was banned by the judge who sentenced him on dogfighting charges from ever owning another dog, says he misses being a dog owner and would like to have one as a pet someday.

The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, interviewed by NBC News and the website TheGrio.com, said he and his family miss having a dog. He said he wants to show people that he can be a responsible pet owner and that he would not take the opportunity for granted.

"I would love to get another dog in the future. I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process," Vick said, according to NBC News and TheGrio.com. The full interview was scheduled to be shown on TheGrio.com on Wednesday.

On Tuesday at a Philadelphia-area charter school, where Vick was speaking out against dogfighting, he was asked if he would return to the Eagles next season.

"I would hope so," Vick said, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. "A lot of things have to happen. A lot of things have to take place. ... But hopefully I'm a Philadelphia Eagle next season."

Vick has led the Eagles to a share of the NFC East division lead and resurrected a career many thought was all but over after he went to federal prison for funding a dogfighting ring. The operation trained pit bulls to fight and killed dogs that did not perform well in training sessions.

Vick told NBC News and TheGrio.com. that he wants to show that that part of his past is behind him.

"I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love and my passion for animals; I think it would be outstanding," Vick said in the interview. "If I ever have the opportunity again I will never take it for granted.

"I miss having a dog right now. I wish I could. My daughters miss having one, and that's the hardest thing: Telling them that we can't have one because of my actions," Vick said in the interview.

i'm not sure what is going down with your copy and paste but what you have pasted does not match what the link says. maybe it's been edited since you originally posted it :? Vick has not been told he can never own a dog. what he has been told is that he can't while on probation.

you pasted this

Michael Vick, who was banned by the judge who sentenced him on dogfighting charges from ever owning another dog

the link actually says

Michael Vick, who was banned by the judge who sentenced him on dogfighting charges from owning another dog while on probation,

there is also this bit not in your paste.

As part of Vick's probation, he can't buy, sell or own a dog.

now from what i understand he will be able to own a dog at the end of his probabation in May 2012. so why is he making such a big fuss about it now? he's done the crime and been given a punishment that the courts deemed suitable. what makes him so special that he should not have to serve out the terms of his probation? 2012 is not that far away.

maybe he likes the attention.

proving he is rehabilitated, giving him a second chance and all the other things being discussed here are not relevant if you look at what the link actually says, because come 2012 he gets to own a dog if he wants one.

rehabilitated or not he gets his second chance right?

2012. not that many sleeps Mr Vick. i'm sure you will manage without a dog until then.
