Two women accussed of animal cruelty found dead but Michael Vick still alive and well
A Foxnews.com story says that two women facing 14 counts of Animal Cruelty died of self inflicted gun shot wounds. Evidently they were ashamed of what they had done.
Too bad, they might have had great careers ahead with the NFL, which is proven to be very supportive in hiring people who abuse animals.
Enjoy the Super bowl. I’m still boycotting the NFL.
Give Michael Vick a Second Chance
Sure.
Just as soon as someone gives all the dogs he drowned, beat, electrocuted, and hanged to death a second chance.
That was my response to a few booger-picking morons on FaceBook a while back when Vick first made his victorious return to the National Football league. I haven’t watched a game since…not even the Cowboys.
I’ve been accused of being unforgiving. I’ve had people toss the “but you claim to be a Christian” phrase at me. My response? How can you claim to be a Christian yet defend this man who did some of the most evil things imaginable to poor dumb animals? I don’t have to forgive him; he didn’t drown, beat, or electrocute me. I’m fighting for the memory of those dogs, and that requires doing my best to keep Vick from having a comfy football star life.
And it requires me to not contribute any patronage to the NFL, an organization that is so interested in profit they are willing to allow employment of a dog torturer. What a shame that other players have to put up with his stink in their profession.
Vick served his time. True. That does not mean that it’s right and proper to give him a job in a national past time. Why isn’t he doing like any other ex-con? Proving himself in a fast food joint or filling pot holes? Not that that isn’t honest to goodness labor (I’ve done both those jobs myself).
Remember Pete Rose? Kicked out of major league baseball, banned for life for gambling. He may have deserved a second chance.
Michael Vick? He deserves to earn a meal or two each day and have a roof over his head, nothing more. And he ought to earn both by shovelling dog crap out of kennels at a rescue shelter…under close supervision.
All you sodding cartoon characters who think he deserves a second chance need to go think real long and hard about exactly what it would feel like to have jumper cables attached to the sides of your head, be submerged in water, and then have a few thousand volts juiced through your brain as your body convulses in spasms and expires. That’s just one of the methods the dirt bag you got a second chance for used to kill those dogs.
Like I said…find a way to give those poor dogs a second chance first.
Thanks to my buddy Jim for reminding me of this by forwarding this article about why some of us just aren’t going to “let it go”.
And God bless our friends at rescue organizations like Donna Reynolds, Tim Racer, and BADRAP who have no intentions of letting the world forget.
