It is appalling to me to see so many people who sit and judge a human-being without an ounce of thought of their own sins. Let us understand that money does not make us infallible, and if it was your sins on television how well would you fair in this situation. Someone said long ago, ?let him or her without sin cast the first stone." I have live on this world a short time fifty-four years and have seen discrimination, murder, Ponzi schemes, child slavery on television, and a woman trapped in her cellar for 24 years as a sex slave of her father, and yet I hear all this out cry about animal crudity. I had a dog years ago, and she was the love of my life, even up to this day, and she was stolen by those that wanted to breed and fight her puppies, and this makes me mad as hell, but still they will have their day in hell like others who can not forgive. To forgive and leave it at that is the right thing to do in this situation. What upsets me is that recidivity rate of criminals is functionally in the eighty-percent percentile, yet here is someone that the justice system has rehabilitated and we are just ready to put him back on the street?punishing him all over again. What is the use of our justice system if we do not praise a possible success story like this young man turning bad into good, and turn his life around for the sake of all those animals slayed in this debacle, and those who are still being killed, tortured and maimed in this type of activity. Let me see you out there when the next person who is caught doing this crime and see how pious we get when they are sentenced. Shame on all those that can not see this light of forgiveness; because all you have to do to see the old Michael Vick is look in the mirror and you will see someone different than the one shown in this interview. Good job Michael.
Give me a break! forgiveness is fine, but one cannot forget, and PLEaSE remember , it would have gone on and on, had he not been caught!! what exactly changed his heart? mind? and soul? HE WAS CAUGHT! he did not stop on his own, what part of that is it you are not understanding. forgive what? his heart? he was born like that!
That's the problem with some of the people on this earth. They treat their pets better than any human being. Their is no animal on this earth greater than any human life. Pets are not "family members", they are pets. This man did not deserve to lose his freedom and millions of dollars over some "darn dogs", but he did. He has served the time that was given to him and he paid the price. Leave him alone and let him live his life. I can care less if he says he is sorry for what he did. There are people in this world that has done worse things to a human being and has done less time then he has. Get over it and yourselves. We kills deers, chickens, pigs, cows, etc.. on a daily basis. Who made the decision that dogs were greater than any other animals. As long as you can get a license to kill a deer, then you should be able to get a license to kill a "darn dog". I will never choose a human being over any animal.
People who treat animals badly also have a habit of treating humans badly. Humans have the ability to tell when they are abused - animals don't. Someone on this earth has to help speak for them. I can tell where you stand on this subject Sexy2132 and can honestly say you're not a human I would care to spend time with. You may THINK you are 'sexy' but I find your attitude disgusting.
I'm having a hard time feeling empathy toward him. I think it might be the perceived smirk on his face during the interview. What he did was wrong and we should not justify by saying he's not as bad as a rapist, murderer, racist, etc........ Please don't help justify his behaviour.
I absolutely hate what he did. If I saw someone torturing a dog I would give them a beat down myeself. I love my boxer-he is my best friend. However, haveing said this, Vick deserves a second chance. All of us do stupid, even mailicious things and we all need forgiveness and a second chance. He will remain on "thin ice" with me for a long time but he paid his dues and lets see what happens.
So Sorry the NFL accepted him back. I will not support any Company the supports the team he plays on nor will anyone in my friend/family group. He and his family have a long history getting in trouble with the Law, and he should not be aloud to have any influense on Children.
"I will not support any Company the supports the team he plays on nor will anyone in my friend/family group." How do you feel about the Dallas Cowboys and the Bush family? Bush shows his mug, even flips the coin at their game. Bush has killed over 500,000 humans, over 4,000 Americans and crippled another 30,000+ Americans.
sorry.. didn't see my comment so i kept posting. lol
but the people who are giving off the most hate in these comments are probably the ones with the most skeletons in their closets and as far away from being a saint as the devil. Better hope your deeds don't come to light!
Ever heard of that infamous phrase "He without sin, cast the first stone"? Forgiveness is one of God's many blessings. It is a gift. A gift given to all of God's people. Not just a select few. How can we expect God to forgive our transgressions, if we can not forgive our brothers and sisters for theirs?? Sometimes we live in the moment and don't give much thought to the future or how our acts may affect someone else's lives but that's being human. Being in the public eye, with such great talent, a role model for our kids, he is expected to be perfect. But at the end of the day, when the practices are over and the games are played, Michael Vick is human just like the rest of us and no one is expected to be perfect. That is a pedestal to high for anyone of us to achieve.
Most humans do not come home after work and shoot, electrocute,hang, drown and abuse man's best friend. He should be run out of Philly on a rail , covered in tar and feathers!

Forgiveness. Absolutely, i believe he should be forgiven. Just I like I ask for forgiveness when i sin and I probally will sin again. But this is really more like COMMON SENSE! You don't fight dogs. A little thing called right and wrong.. kinda of like murder; you just don't do it (PERIOD!) And I believe; Mr. Vick being a human who is apparently smart enough to play football, college.. etc, etc.. knows right and wrong. SO Knowing that dog fighting is wrong.. forgiveness was thrown out the window when he decided to do in the first place.
