Most people are aware that Michael Vick was a dogfighter. They may even have illusions of what they think dogfighting is at its worst or the suspected actions that take place. However, what Vick did was not simple dogfighting.
Picture your dog or your friends dog tossed to a couple of animals trained to fight for humans. Imagine that animal screaming as it is being ripped apart and having its throat ripped out. Imagine the person that tossed that helpless animal to the other animals just laughing as it occurs and later admitting he thought it was funny. That person who tossed the animals to the others is Michael Vick.
Imagine taking a bucket used to hold water, filling it with water, and holding a dogs head in it until it drowns while it stands on land.
Have you ever thought of the image of hanging a dog? He did that too. He also picked them up over his head before slamming them downward on concrete at his full force over and over.
Imagine the blunt force trauma that dog felt as it hit concrete over and over from not dying the first time.
He also attached jumper cables to their ears and tossed them in a pool to electrocute them.
This is not about dogfighting. That has become a separate issue. The acts in dogfighting are disgusting and reprehensible. What Vick did was to take it one step further and find a way to legitimately torture dogs like a horror movie.
He does NOT deserve to be honored. The NFL is CHOOSING this and they deserve the pushback that is occuring.
The NFL has many more wonderful individuals that are using their platform for amazing causes. Google My Cause My Cleats. Google about Warrick Dunn. Google about so many others.
Vick does NOT deserve to be honored.
