32. Welcome back vick, let them keep hating on you. PETA can suck it, he paid his dept to society. He killed a dog so what, I ran over several dogs in my lifetime. Some of these people on here are people that you will see on the news that killed there entire family trying to avoid hitting a dog or a cat.

33. Get over yall selves with he tortured animals so he shouldn't be allowed to live stuff yall preaching. He went to jail and served his time, its done he should be allowed to move on with his life. Stop acting like he did something truly heinous like kill an actual human being or molest a child. There are child molesters who serve less jail time than Michael Vick did but the dogs are more important right? He said sorry and he went to jail, get over it. What he did was wrong but he paid his debt to society, its not even as serious as being made out to be truth be told. There is such a double standard in America its not even funny.

34. Had Mike held hid fights in Mexico they would have been perfectly legal. Our legal system is all screwed up thanks to PETA and others. Those dogs are born to fight for cryin out loud and are at their happiest inside the pit. The man deserves to be back in an NFL uniform this season and needs to apologize for NOTHING!

35. About the sam time Vick killed a dog, Mary Winkler (was convicted of killing her husband, She got a few weeks in jail. She shoot him in the back when he was sleeping. Yeah. The government gave her custody of the kids too.

Woman kills husband walks. Guy kills a dog fries. Women are right there is no equality.

36. Matter fact Ill even go as far to say as Vick shouldn't of went to jail at all. He should of just been fined, got his dog permit revoked and been suspended for a little while. He should not of gone to prison nor been in this hypocritical ass justice system.

37. good luck mike, you did your time, now get back to playing football again-anyone who doesn't think he will play again is wrong because he's a great player, and he'll bring in the fans, and that's what the nfl is all about--the money.

39. Sad, sad, sad. With all the NFLers and many other professional athletes who make outrageous money to play a sport that they love, an example is made out of a person over dogs. I am a dog lover. Have several of my own. However, never in a million years would I put the life value of my dog ahead of that of another human being. Michael Vick has done his time. He has volunteered to do community service with the Humane Society. No one told him that was the organization he had to do. He made that decision himself. That will put him in direct contact with the ones he was hurting. He will have to look at them everyday. Donte Stallworth on the other hand DUI hits a pedistrian, killed instantly. No big media buzz around that. No bloggers saying he should be killed. Right is right. Wrong is wrong. I applaud Vick for trying to get his life straight. We are ALL humans and we ALL make mistakes. Everyone needs to remember there are skeletons in their own closets, before they go judging someone else.

42. In general, white folks have always loved their animals more than they love black folks. Back in the day, we were considered "beast of the field", a term lifted out the Bible to justify slavery. Some things never change. God bless you Mike. After all, dogs don't have souls. Now tear me another hole. Peace.

Dear TheRealMIA: My sister was hit and left by the side of the road to die. The guy that hit her got 12-years of which he served 2. I completely understand. I forgave the guy. I think the difference here is intent.. and it's not the necessarily the value of the dog's life vs. human life. I think people want to punish of the soulessness of the act.They want to kill the monster inside, It is easy to say such things because, in light of his acts, he is no longer viewed AS human. That's my take on it anyway.
