And here’s what they had to say about this over at the PETA blog:
So, Michael Vick has been reinstated, although so far, there are no takers. Vick has served the reduced sentence negotiated by his high-priced team of fancy lawyers, and the law says that he is entitled to walk free. But that doesn’t mean it is acceptable to put him in the position in which children will look up to him as a role model and wear any new jersey that bears his number. For the sake of all the young football fans and all the dogs he electrocuted, drowned, slammed to the ground, and hanged, we will watch carefully to see if he is a newly contrite, kind man these days or still just a lout. Meanwhile, please add your voice to ours in our request to the NFL to add “cruelty to animals” to its personal-conduct policy as an offense that won’t be tolerated. Doing that might reduce the likelihood that such lowlife violent crime will happen again.

get over it already they are killing cows chickens and pigs everyday. Peta doesnt fight that.
Hmm if only they were as emphatic with human rights issues. I love animals n all but as long as crimes against humanity are going on I can’t give much energy, thought, or concern to animal rights.
peta sucks ass
peta can suck on a sausage

LMAO @ mrsmac!
Yayyy!!! So true what EyeSee said. These people care more about animals than they do people
@Nini
they are killing cows, chickens, and pigs for food. For nutritional sustenance.
drowning, electrocuting, and hanging “man’s best friend” is another thing.
Why was it that after the slaves were free..those whites that owned slaves were not put in jail for all the black people they electrocuted, drowned, slammed to the ground, and hanged? Get real PETA, i love animals too, but why not put your time ,money and enegry to sometime important……LIKE SAVING HUMAN LIVES!
