It’s all about greed, big money, and those people who live their lives in quiet desperation – - – they really don’t want to climb out of their holes – - -.

Let’s encourage and train more of the low-lifers in our society who have the dog fighting for profit mentality and those sociopatic tendencies to get into the ring and beat their brains out, or even kill each other from time to time. Then, destroy the fighter who is barely still alive. There is still plenty of human stock available, and much profit still to be realized.

Vick should be banned for his lifetime against playing. Shame on the Raiders for even considering him.

Rgil: I am still trying to get over you.

Vick should be banned from professional sports for life. While difficult to rationalize in terms of the law, it still seems morally correct and justified.

Anyone who supports a future career in sports for Vick (which would make him a role model) needs a reality check.

How can anyone take a nice domesticated dog such as a Border Collie & throw them in a pen so they can get torn apart for practice? Sick, sick sick & so are the people who defend these kind of inhumane actions. I’ve been a Raider season ticket holder since 1995 & even though the team is down, I’ll stick with them. However, if they were to sign Vick, I’m DONE!!

He was supposed to pay for the dogs, but geez, he seems to have wiggled out of that, imagine that…. Hopefully he rots in prison and never plays again. I truly hope the NFL doesn’t allow that low life to EVER play again. He needs to work with abused animals, under supervision of course. GET OVER IT? Are you really that heartless? Go to the website http://www.bestfriends.org. they have a wonderful section about the Vicktory Dogs ( they took 22 of them) What loving dogs they have become.

Didn’t he pay nearly $1 million dollars for the care of these ANIMALS? I’m sure it would be interesting to see how much of this money went for the care of some dogs as opposed to the salary of those that are still trying to find them homes. If no one has claimed these dogs by now, it’s time to put them to sleep like dogs are put to sleep everyday. Get over it already. There are hungry, abused children everyday and when was a parent that committed abuse ever sentenced to pay for their child to be the state’s care? This was all some bandwagon for people to jump on; otherwise, these dogs would already have a home. I mean, how many dogs were there? You all act like it was 1000′s of dogs. GET OVER IT ALREADY
