Michael Vick House Arrest

Reader Comments

• 61. So I guess people think because they have four legs it doesn't matter that they were killed. What happened to the value of life, no matter who it belongs to? To all of those people who think he 'did his time', I suggest you look at the special on Animal Planet,Dog Town that helped his dogs. He killed them,trained them to fight, had 'starter dogs' who would be the test dogs for the more aggressive ones, had rape kits set up where the teeth were surgically removed to prevent attacking from the female dog to breed more dogs. This guy has no value for life so why should anyone care about his scumbag ass?! oh, and to the people who quote the bible, give it up. You are probably just as much as a sinner if you empathize with him at all.

• 62. I believe every person deserves a second chances if they show remorse. Vick has shown NONE! He had it all, millions, fame, admiration & family. But for Vick, was not enough, he had to make more money & get his kicks while torturing, killing, abusing pitbulls; these dogs weighed about 50 lbs. Vick didn't just fight dogs, he slammed their bodies onto the ground until their skulls or spines broke, not a fast death. Another thing he did was attach jumper cables onto the underperforming dogs ears, then, just like with a car, cables were connected to terminals of car batteries before lifting & tossing the dogs into the water. It is not known how many suffered this premeditated murder, but damage to the pool walls tells a story. It seems that while the dogs were scrambling to escape, they scratched & clawed at the pool liner & bit at the dented aluminum sides like a hungry dog on a tin can. NFL no way, second chance not in this life! He is a sociopath & sadistic man, no matter the race.

• 64. Looks more like "PARTY" arrest, not home. I agree with Rheanna, one year for each dog's life. Plus pay Dog Town for rehabilitating the rest of the dogs.

• 66. to budha and anyone else who thinks torturing animals for fun is ok, it's not, it is an evil form of entertainment, and is reserved for abusive personalities that will become violant with people and studies have proven people that abuse/kill animals for the thrill of watching them suffer and die, are fully capable of doing these horrible things to people. this is completely different than eating food for survival. the two are completely different... duuhr

• 67. I too am tired of all the hoopla over this person.. This just goes to show you what kind of person Vick rally is. It would be different if he was ona remote island and had no food otehr than dogs and this was his means of survival. But to watch, treat and torture poor defenseless, innocent helpless giving LOVE uncomditionally animals to their death is uncalled for. I agree he has not served enough time. To the NFL and football team that signs this DOG KILLER on I think you all are doing the wrong thing. I know though the NFL and football team owners don't care what their player has done as long as they can put butts in seats and help win the conference game and Super Bowl to make more $$$ for the team that's the name of the game. Whatever happened to things called MORALS? Some may say look at Vick house arrest. Yeah right in his lake front home. Poor Baby MY ASS!!!

• 68. Everyone needs to let this man be!! He has served more then enough time in jail. Yes he did something awful, I am a huge animal lover (I own horses, a cat,dogs, goats, fish, and turtles), but he served his time now let him go on with his life. He was very cruel in the crimes he committed, but he has suffered a great deal himself. He has lost almost everything. Too me a human's life is way more important than an animal's life. I hope eventually he can get back in the NFL, thats his career, football is what he knows, and he is great at it. We all make mistakes in life, and we all deserve a second chance.

• 69. budha.......again........key word here is TORTURE and ABUSE. Big difference between that and quickly killing animals and fish to eat vs. killing for the entertainment factor!

• 70. Yummy.......While I don't approve of hunting, there is a BIG difference between shooting an animal quickly vs. torturing an animal slowly! No DECENT human being (regardless color) condones killing families, dog fighting or cock fighting. Research shows "no compassion for animals/no compassion for humans". If Vick is accepted back into NFL, MANY of us PAYING customers will NEVER attend games,nor purchase adv. products. The world was his & it wasn't enough. Now he can work 9-5 for min. wage. He'll be so busy paying for all the kids he's fathering & all the "diggers" trapping him, he won't have time for dogfighting. Put him in a ring with a grizzly bear then see who the "tough" one is. Standing on the sidelines watching animals fight is a cowards game..& he & others like him are COWARDS. Yes,I WOULD say that to his face. If he tried anything, 5 ft. me would inflict enough damage for him to remember the encounter.

• 73. ummm you do know that he wasnt even living at the house where this took place and the only reason he even got arrested was because the house was in his name and he is famous. They wanted to take a big name down. He did his time let it go. Were people complaining this much over the guy that robbed people for billions of dollars and was living it up in his penthouse...i doubt it. I honestly think it is sad when people put animals over humans. Its a weird dynamic to me. These are the same people that would rather have all pitbulls killed and out of homes anyway. Good luck vick!

• 74. This Country is pure sad we rather care about pets more then the people God put on this earth. My thing is what he did was wrong, but why is it so hard to forgive. Isnt that what God intended for us to do? Try reading the Lords Prayer in Mathew 6:6. Last Time I checked in the good book pets cant even go to heaven they DONT HAVE SOULS NEITHER CAN THEY CONFESS JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR SAVIOR!!!!! This Country makes no sense to me at all how does a drunk driver kill someone and get less time in jail, but someone killing a pet get more time.What does that say about our country? All I can do is pray for everyone and hope they seek God more then ever, because we are in a dying world.

• 75. What a JOKE! he kills many dogs and fights the rest and he gets to go home to a huge lake front house!?? and party with family and friends! He should STILL be behind bars. what a LOSER. He has NOT served his "time". He should have at least one year per dog's life he took/ruined.
