Protestors: Vick's Sick

Posted Jul 21st 2007 4:07PM by TMZ Staff

Animal rights protesters are angry over Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's alleged involvement with an illegal dogfighting ring. Vick was indicted on Tuesday for federal dogfighting charges.

Around 75 animal-loving members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals demonstrated in front of the NFL's New York offices on Friday calling for Vick's suspension, reported the Daily News. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has yet to rule on Vick's status.

The Humane Society of the United States held a similar protest at Nike's Portland, Oregon, headquarters. Nike recently decided not to release its newest Vick shoe, though it has seven other Vick-related items in production.

7. It's a shame that someone who is said to be maiking $130 Million for a 10 year contract with the NFL has to resort to something this inhumane. Dog fighting is sick and cruel. Not just dog fighting, anything that involes animals. Animals are innocent victims. He does not deserve anything that he's got and I truly hope he rots in hell.

9. He knew what was going on. It breaks my heart to think of the suffering these animals have endured. I hope no expense is spared in finding everyone involved and prosecuting them for whatever will keep them in prison for life.

11. its not just animal rights activists that are boycotting products of Micheal Vick.
Any one who believes in life should demand Vicks be suspended. It could have easily been anybodys dog he would use for dog fights.
Its just pathetic that no entertainers like sherl crow, al gore, and any of the others cant speak up on a real issue like dog fighting.
