Michael Vick's return to football enrages animal lovers



Convicted animal abuser Michael Vick returned to the football field today with a new team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

No one has watched his comeback closer and with a more skeptical eye here than the animal blog, Unleashed. The readers of the pro-pet blog are up-in arms and calling for the dismissal of Vick. Some feel the talented quarterback has paid his price (millions of dollars lost from his football contract when he was sent to prison), and to society when he spent a year and a half at a federal prison in Kansas.

D Peterson wrote in to say: "As long as Micheal Vick is playing football I will be at every game humanly possible to protest. And I will never buy another PEPSI product as long as I live and that is a promise."

Mike August wrote : any game in New York that Vick plays I will do every thing in My power to disrupt. Protesting is a right. Fighting and killing dogs is not

We also Call for a boycott of Snaple tea drinks as they are sponsors of the Eagles and in part responsible for showing that Animal abusers like Vick can Get a free pass back

There is an e-mail the Philadelphia Eagles and demand the termination of Vic

Take a stand for animals everywhere

by Steve Kirk Saturday, Aug. 22, 2009 at 5:38 AM





This is an opportunity like none other that animal rights advocates have ever had.

We have to take this to the NFL in a way that makes them re-think this decision.

I am suggesting that EVERY NFL game become a platform for the Animal Rights Movement.

Just think of it there are tens of thousands of people there, and the major Networks that cover the games

This would be the perfect place to get the point across.

Demonstrations at the entrances, And at that crucial win or loose moment when every one is watching

A protester runs out onto the field with a sign denouncing the in humane treatment of animals by Michael Vick.

And not just at eagle games, if the NFL is “OK” with Vick’s return then I feel that every team in every town

Is a legitimate place to protest with minimum risk

Stopping the progress of the game will draw attention to our cause on a National level like never before.

But do the advocates have the courage to take the BIG stand?

think of the publicity if we protested in the middle of the superbowl for just five minutes. Our cause would be known world wide. and PETA would finaly be on the Map

The members of PETA are criminally insane, and Brainiac doesn't think they're on the map?

Save the baby seals, and fuck the baby humans!
