I believe Mr vick's should pay for his part in these inhumane dos fight's.and I do believe he should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I hope he does not get away with any of this because he is a football star. And I do believe he should get more than 6 yrs. I have been so upset since I heard about all this. If it was up to me i would charge him with 1 count for evevry dog they find. I just hope everyone will speak up for these animal's.
I Believe Mr. Micheal Vicks Should be responible for his actions. I don't understand how people can treat animal's the way they do. It's not right. It upset's me when I hear people abusing animal's. I often wonder would they treat their children that way. But I do believe Mr. Vick's should go to prison for more than six year's. I've been so upset since I heard about this. I think I Love animal's more than I do people.
Thank you so much for your partici pation in helping to bring justice to all the animals that this person was able to abuse for so long.
All that money and he couldn't think of anything better to do with it??? As a public figure, his conviction will do much to promote justice for all animals by bringing the law into full focus.
Thank you so much.
I am in total support of ASPCA offering their support and services to prosecute those guilty in this case. The high profile of those involved and they money they have to fight the charges needs to be countered so that these individuals can be used as an example - and they should PAY THE FULL PENALTY PLUS and the prosecutors should take this opportunity to make an example of them and set a legal precedent which will protect innocent animals in the future.
Hooray! Let's do everything we can to see these horrible people get what they've got coming! Serving time for this terrible crime is just. Give them the max!
The actions of this so-called "HUMAN" is beyond repulsive. Those
that represent/endorse items like yours should set an
example...keeping him aboard would like be representing "Hitler"
for the canines! He should be stripped of all his earnings from
this game and anything that he benefits should be donated to animals. He should never be allowed to play football again. His earnings should go all to
a)rescue this 52 pitbulls and b) to animal rescue causes. He
should go to jail not for 3 months, 6ths months, etc...for a
substantial time...5 years MIN (which isn't even enough)...no parole and on top of that
must do 2 years community service for animals. People who say dogs are JUST animals just don't get it. To hurt an innocent animal without a care in the world easily can translate to abuse in other areas...children, wives, etc. Serial killers are known to start with animals. Get this SOB where it really hurts....do a Tanya Harding...and get him to NEVER play football again. You would be foolish to keep him on the team. If you have animals, you undertand me completely. I pray to God this bastard gets what he so rightly deserves..the dogs never had a chance.

They should wet him down and electracute him.
i think vick should be prosecuted to the worst extent possible
TO MR. VICK
I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT IF YOU ARE CONVICTED THAT THE INMATES OF WHERE YOU GO, MEAT OUT THE JUSTICE THAT YOU DESERVE,YOU AND YOUR THUGGY, PUNK FRIENDS,THERE IS NOT ENOUGH BAD THAT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.PERSONALLY I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS,NEVER GET OUT ALIVE,I HOPE THAT YOU SUFFER THE SAME WAY THOSE BEAUTIFUL DOGS DID BY YOUR HAND AND OTHERS,I DESPISE YOU,FOR WHAT YOU AND OTHERS HAVE DONE.FRANK
BECAUSE OF VICK AND HIS SO CALLED FRIENDS 54 BEAUTIFUL DOGS MAY BE EUTHANIZED,THESE DOGS PROBABLY THOUGHT THEY HAD A GOOD HOME WHERE SOMEONE WOULD FEED AND LOVE THEM.BUT AS IT WHERE THEY GOT A CRUEL AND HATEFULL AND SADISTIC BASTARD MASTER. AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED VICK AND HIS BUDDIES SHOULD BE KILLED BY THE MOST HORRIFIC WAY POSSIBLE.I PRAY THE ANGEL OF DEATH VISITS ALL WHO HAD A HAND IN THIS MESS.GOD BLESS ALL OF THESE BEAUTIFUL DOGS FOR EVER MORE ,PLESE LET THEM LIVE IN PEACE...FRANK
If there is anything more distressing than to hear that this practice continues, it is to hear that these poor dogs will almost certainly be euthanized. Why do we execute the victims and sentence the abuser to a few years in prison (at most)??? It should be the other way around: let's rehabilitate the dogs and execute (or sentence to life in prison) the perpetrators. And order the perpetrators to pay all costs associated with the care and rehabilitation of these dogs. Finally, why isn't the ASPCA speaking out on this and advocating for legislation to do precisely this for these animal victims?
he should be put in jail for the rest of his life and forget about his nfl lindy
ARRGGGGGG! I just heard the news about what football "star" michael vick did to all those poor animals. and he didn't just do it for money or drugs, he did it for pleasure. what is wrong with him, does he really think that he can get out of this unscarred? what makes me even madder is that some young boys who see something in michael vick(i don't know what), or all football "stars" will think that being cruel to animals and pets is "cool" when it's really wrong. michael vick should be punished and treated like any other animal abuser. he should get triple punishment in fact, because of what he did to those poor dogs. it is just so horrible what some dogs had to go through, and just to please michael vick.
I would hope no coach would have Vick on his team ever, even overseas. I hope his carrer is dead just like the animal he tortured. Our Justice system, what a joke, folks it's plain ole people like you and I that speak for those who can't. I live in a small town in New Mexico where dumping animals and puppies is an everyday occurance. Here you have to pass a back ground check both police and sheriffs dept. to even volunteer at a shelter. I think this is an awesome step to keep abusers OUT of shelters, if you abuse an animal you'll abuse a child, then you'll grow up to be Ted Bundy, and man did he get what he deserved. I don't think God would have had Noah build an Ark if he didn't think animals were a cricial factor in human lives (i.e. law enforcement agents, and companship for our elderly people in nursing homes, sick children in hospitals etc.) I have rescued animals for 43 yrs. The reason Vick got such lite charges was think about this, drunk drivers keep driving over, and over, and over. Why? because the judges are drunks. Like I said I am in New Mexico where i can't even find our animal abuse laws although the first child abuse case was based on animal cruelity laws. I'm willing to protest for stiffer fines and jail time, go undercover if needed to prove a case. I abhore animal abuser, so let's everybody gather together and rally for stiffer laws more jail time, and lot of money doubled for the rich!!!Feel free to e-mail me and let's get a NewRebellion started, like Steve Irvin did worldwide for crocs, God rest his soul! don't know about you but I'm tired of sitting back and just hoping the Justice system will work! Let's rally together, like I said I'm in New Mexico, and can go to the Roundhouse in Sante FE to lobby, anyone near New Mexico can come, I have to find out the laws and when the congress meets etc. but I'll spend my last breath doing it! Rally, let's get started wherever you live. Let's get the
ASPCA to help. I have supported the ASPCA in my married name and divorced name a long time. Let's go to work. Feel free to e-mail me at melmay52@yahoo.com and put our brains together and get goin! God Bless you all!
i cant wait til dec.10. i hope this judge sentences him to the max so he can sit there in prison an think about the awful an inhumane things he has done. people involved in this kind of cruelty need an example set upon them.vicks should be there example. when does it stop?
On Tuesday, Sept. 25, join ESPN.com NFL writer, Jeffri Chadiha, for a special live chat about Michael Vick as part of "The Vick Divide: An ESPN Town Meeting (6 p.m. ET, ESPN)." Your comments from the chat will be used during the show to help further the discussion.

I think Vick should go to prison for 5 years and not be able to play for the NFL or any others again. He is suppose to be a role model for his fans. If he truly was sincere he would have admitted it immediately. Also, if he was a good person he NEVER would have been involved in this. People like this who say they are Christians and do such cruel things are lying. God created ALL!
I think Micheal Vick and any other dog fighters should be killed the same way as they killed those innocent dogs. they should be put in a cage and forced to be fight one another then after that they should be electrocuted, beat, and killed. he is not sorry that he fought and killed the dogs, he is only sorry that he got caught doing it. Those dogs did not asked to be put in that situation but they are the only ones in this case who are suffering the consequences. Vick is useless to anyone because he is so much of a coward that he had to make himself look manly by abusing and fighting pit bulls. As it is everyone already believes that pit bulls are dangerous and uncontrollable, but it is stupid, irresponsible people like Vick who cause these inaccurate accusations on the breed. A chihuahua or golden retriever or lab could be just as viscous if it was trained to fight. people only see evil in pit bulls. if a pit bull is trained correctly and is not abused it is the perfect pet for a family. i have 3 pit bulls and none of them are even the slightest bit viscous because they were raised in a loving environment. Vick is a good for nothing waste of space in the jail.
I Heard about the vick dog fights awhile ago and never knew he was black. I felt the same exact way about the situation then as I do now, and recently all I have been reading on other sites is how we are coming down on him only because he is black. I'm not a follower of football and never knew he was black, nor does it make a difference, anyone cruel enough do do something like this should be severely punished. From day one I feel that we should throw him into a pit with a few wolves and see how well he does in the same situation as those poor animals. I had a rescue pitt bull of my own that resembles Georgia on the show Dogtown, and I cried when I saw just how he treated those animals. It really opened my eyes to see just how ignorant and cold some people still are. HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALOUD TO PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN. not in a league or in prison for that matter. he should be fined every sent of money that he has made since he started this crime. I am infuriated that they could let him walk away so easily.
This comment is to discuss the punishment of Michael Vick and how others felt regarding it. Many have said that he should be forced to fight for his life in the ring and later put down to die in the same manner as the dogs. I agree that is what he deserves however, i understand that we can't do that. It's uncivilized and we can't become what he is, which is something that everyone needs to understand. What I personally feel should be done to Mr. Vick is to take away every thing he once had that made his life so great, as he took everything away from the dogs. Take away his home and possessions, his large sums of money, and more importantly his spot on the NFL. Its my understanding that sports players devote a lot of time to stay fit for play, so many don't possess the skills required for other jobs. Unable to play football, I doubt Mr. Vick has many options left for jobs. He would be forced to perform odd jobs no one wants, and none that pay well. Take away his fame, ruin the publicity he had, and he's left with nothing. Once he loses everything, his money to buy him out of the situation, and his job to prevent him from accumulating the money, he can finally see the error of his ways, and be sorry for what he's done. At this point, when he wants forgiveness and the life he once had, we turn him down. As he killed the dogs for failing in the ring, we leave him to suffer in his new miserable life, a life more suitable for his for person. That, my fellow animal lovers, viewers, and commenters, is how we should punish Michael Vick for all he has done, in a civil way that enforces justice, right and wrong, without becoming the inhuman being that he is.
I just watched the Micheal Vick show on Animal Wittness and was horrified at what I had seen happen to the poor helpless dogs. I heard about this when it first happened, but to see the footage was almost too hard to bear. I am a firm believer that any animal will only act the way they are taught, wether it is for the good or in some un-fortunate cases for the worst. I have 2 beautiful chow-mixed "children" and just like the pit-bulls, they to have been catagorized as vicious dogs. Yeah right if you consider kisses vicious then yeah , they are. I am soooo glad that M.Vick got what he did, however, I think he needs to be put in a ring and let a dog attack him!!!! I would like to thank everyone who helped in giving the dogs a second chance at life and WOW what a great life they have, THANK YOU! I watched this with my two "kids" and was in tears during the program. Well, Thanks again. I am sure glad that there are still people that care left in this world. P.S. My "son" is a rescue from the pound and my "daughter" is from my first "child" who has since passed.
