He cant possibly be a dog guy or lover or whatever. You dont murder dogs if you are, so what would he want the responsibility of a dog for? Makes little to no sense.

He said he wants it as part of his rehab to continue to prove to people that the dog fighting/killing is a part of his past. He also said his daughter has asked several times and he has to explain to her why they can't have one right now.Laley23;603580 wrote:I question why this guy even wants a dog though???

If he wants a dog...he should be able to own a dog.......what other way can he show closure to what he did and how he has redone his life?

I was watching the Dan Patrick show yesterday and I am almost positive they said that he could own a dog after his probation was up. DP was saying that he thought it would be good for Vick to learn, by watching his children, what it is to have a pet, love it etc.Laley23;603328 wrote:ESPN Radio reported today that Vick's judge said he couldnt ever own a dog again. If that isnt true, I dont know where they got their info from.

To do the horrible, cruel things he did, without blinking an eye, apparently, you have to be some kind of sociopath. Basically, without a soul and a conscience.
I hope they don't let him near ANY animals in his lifetime. I don't think people who do this stuff really change. Ever.
Totally agree. Man served his time. People are just upset because he's back in the lime light. If his skill set was anything but football, which will make him very rich again, we'd never care about him. He put his time in and is now working to get his life back on track, if he wants to get a little scooby doo for his kids i think that's fine. People hold animal abuse higher than they do human on human abuse so i can see why this is all getting blown out of proportionthedynasty1998;604018 wrote:I'm a huge dog lover, but for the most part I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Sure what he did was wrong, but he served more time than anyone would have thought and he seems to have been humbled by his time away.
With that said, if the judge said he's not allowed to own a dog, it shouldn't even be a question. What he did was wrong and if him not being allowed to ever own a dog is part of his punishment, then that's it.
