Michael Vick – Only Words?

Michael Vick appeared on 60 Minutes as a way of showing remorse for his contribution to the horrible animal abuse that is dog fighting. As Wayne Pacelle, President and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, writes in his blog, “It’s about the dogs, and it always will be.”  It’s important to look to the future and not get stuck in the past.  However, it is also important to remember that this wasn’t just dog fighting.  Vick was responsible for dogs being hung, shot, and drowned.  Most of us couldn’t live with ourselves with witnessing it, let alone doing it.

Michael Vick has a lot of words about what he will do. If truly remorseful, he certainly can make a huge difference in the lives of a lot of Pits and hundreds of the children who are learning to fight them. Let’s see if he will.
