Not even close. The man is not right upstairs to treat animals like that. How much punishment is enough? When he feels the pain of electrocution. When he feels the sensation of drowning. When he feels the sensation of near death. He is scum and is not human.It was all about money to him- he did not care about having compassion for animals. I see no reason for having any compassion for him.

People don’t change. He can act like he’s a changed man, but deep inside he still will want to see this same thing happen again. As a former smoker, I still have the urge to have a cig, but don’t. Alcoholics feel the “want” after quiting. The desire to see dog fighting is a disease that he has and will ALWAYS have within him. Once out of the NFL, he can do whatever he pleases.

It’s funny how you all support actors who drive drunk, abuse drugs, and domestic violence offenders who get off easy. I don’t see anybody boycotting their movies instead you nominate them for oscars. You continue to persecute people like Micheal Vick whom has acknowledge and paid his debt to society. What more do you want? Blood?

He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone… John 8:7 If no one can change, we all are going to hell. You all eat animals that have been slaughtered, yet you judge him. What he did was cruel and he has asked for forgiveness. Has any of you ever asked to be forgiven? Who are any of you to judge this man. While you all hate him, don’t be surprised if it is you who are looking up at him from hell while he is being held in the arms of Jesus just as Lazarath was in the arms of Abraham. Luke 16:20-26. May God have mercy on you all.

The question is “Has he paid his debt to society?” The judge gave a sentence and he served it; YES HE HAS PAID HIS DEBT!!

I’m not a big fan of reality television, but I would watch an episode of him in a cage match against a rabid Amstaff.

The guy did his time, its not like he got off scott free or a slap on the wrist. He went to prison 1 1/2 to 2 years and was broke and still broke because of debt. yeah he’s playing pro football, but its basicly playing for free because he owes so much. In a way he’s still being punished.

yes he’s paid his debt to society, if you were intelligent enough to understand how the US judicial system works then you wouldn’t even ask such a silly question.

I think silly is putting US judicial system and works in the same sentence! It doesn’t! Vick should be required to donate a percentage of his NFL earnings to the United States Humane Society as long as he is earning it.

He paid his debt to the judicial system only. He is not even close to paying his debt for what he did. We all know that animal abuse is most times just ahead of human abuse/killing. He is a convicted felon, bankrolled and participated in dog fighting, filed bankruptcy, stole from pension, spread STDs and used an alledged name to seek his own treatment, failed drug tests, is suspected in 2 murders and of steriod use. Great guy huh? It is all an act put together by his high priced PR and legal team (where did that money come from?). Just because someone doesn’t support Vick doesn’t mean they support other crimes or people that commit them. Vick is a flawed individual who has shown no personal remorse for anything but how it all impacted him. He is an arrogant SOB and isn’t even that great of a QB.

Srr, He went to trail for fighting dogs and was sentenced to the fullest extent of the law. You all want him on trail for failing drug test and his sexual activity. Sorry we can’t persecute morals so stop trying. What do you do behind close doors? Have you ever gotten a speeding ticket? or payed a fine for something? parking ticket etc. Once you pay the fine and or do the time its over right. How about if you keep getting the same ticket in mail after you payed it? Not fair huh? a crime is a crime fighting dogs, speeding, etc. its all against the law! So stop acting “holyer than thou”

Yes he has. I dont agree with what he did at all. But he served his sentence. As of the day he was released he doesnt owe ANYBODY and ** thing. It’s over…old story…move on.

I think everyone that still hates Vick at this point is just jealous, because he still is loved by so many. I know its hard to understand why he still have true fans that love what he do on the football field. Okay done being nice stop acting like lil bs and give him credit for what he have shown up to this point and that is a changed man. All the people that have cheated on their wife or husband I guess they can’t change either huh. Some of you’ll sound racist and will pay for all the hatered in the other life. The man has paid for what he has done without a doubt. He is human a mistake or bad decision is part of life to make you a better person. It’s a gift from God whenever he put you through things and you become a better person. What about Brittney Spears not taking care of her kids(humans) and losing them for being a unfit parent but I see she is accepted back in society and still selling records. Get off his nts. He still the man!!!

I do not think it is a matter of paying his debt to society. I think it is a matter of someone that can do such unspeakably inhumane and cruel things cannot possibly be a decent human being. Torturing and killing animals is always listed as an early sign of a depraved serial killer. Why would we want someone like that walking free in our society let alone put in the public eye. I have never had an opinion one way or the other about the Philadelphia Eagles but since they took him back I root for whoever is playing against them. I think fans should boycott them and as a society we should boycott Michael Vick and let him know we don’t want him in our midst. I would rather have OJ Simpson out than Vick. At least his violence was directed at someone he personally was angry with. Vick harmed innocent animals that had done nothing to him. And that player from Cleveland that killed a man with his car and owned up to it and was sorry for it and is serving several years when it wasn’t even clear he was at fault. And yet Michael Vick walks free. Our values as a society are so corrupt. As long as someone thinks Vick can make them a dollar they will embrace him. It sickens me.

I am trying to figure out just what do people think he owes society. He didn’t take anything from anyone, he hasn’t harmed anyone. The way I see it whatever he did he did to himself and property that belonged to him. That is not to say that animal cruetly or dogfighting is right, but what I am saying is that whatever he did hasn’t affected any of you who are making these bs comments. For the part, most of you if you were really all that concerned, you would have been expressing your true deep concern prior to this case. There are thousands of dog fighters, and animal abusers out there, doing exactly what Vick was convicted three years ago, and there were many before him. But for some reason you can only direct all this crap towards Vick. Fact is most of you that are talking all of this bull didn’t like him in the first place, this is just an excuse to display your dislike. The first thing that comes out of your mouths is the money he makes or his position in the nfl, he makes that money and his in the NFL because of his talent, not because someone gave it to him. If you had the talent you would be there too. Bottom line is most of you are just a bunch of jealous hyprocrites, nine time out of ten you could care less about animal cruelty, if you really did this type of cruelty wouldn’t exist in the first place. GET OVER IT, if you don’t like don’t watch him play or read articles about him, quit with the pretense of concern for animals. He doesn’t owe any of you shhhht

If you people think that Vick still owes someone (can’t imagine who) for those dogs and what he did to them, well hell I think my great great grandparents are still owed that forty acres and mule, I really don’t think they ever got paid, when you give that up, then I will get on the bandwagon with you for Vick paying for some dogs.

I am not a football fan therefore not a Vick fan and I certainly abhor dog-fighting,but this continued assault on Michael Vick ridiculous.Now lets look at the politicos of Miami-Dade County and Denver they are guilty of Murdering 1000’s upon 1000’s of family pets hiding behind a law call BSL(Breed Specific Legislation)Address those problems but nothing is improving the lives of our favourite animals by this demonising of Vick and I was advised by someone on another site that Americans love going after celebs,stupid me here I thought these millions of comments were from animal-lovers.smarock10@yahoo.com

To add something to what I said yesterday I work with people that hunts and kill all type of animals for the fun/sport of it but I guess that’s okay huh..it’s cruelty to animals bottom line. Some of you probably have molesters in your family or know one, to me those are the ones everyone should be talking about not some dogs that none of you was attached to. Again I know it hurts for someone to be so talented and loved by millions and you can’t do nothing about it but hate!!!

@ Same Old Thing People can’t change? WTF? R u serious? -smh- GTFOH wit that my dude! People can and DO change. You sound like a person that can’t change because they choose not to. Just because you can’t change doesn’t mean other people can’t. You need help!
