Beating Vicks Dead Horse

[melonie]

I saw earlier today that B&N canceled Vick's book signing/tour whatever.
I'm willing to bet it was due to pressure put on them by the dog/animal loving community.

But then I see this article.
I seriously laughed out loud.

Too bad the judge didn't put some sort of gag order preventing him from earning money off of this.

Until the day comes when he stands up and admits that he killed and tortured those dogs, that he committed those crimes, and apologizes for that.... and he receives mental help to address how he could do such a thing... and when he gets out in the rescue trenches and starts taking care of abused and neglected dogs....When he feels the sorrow of these dogs soul deep....I won't begin to even consider seeing him in a different light.
And I'll continue to beat a dead horse because people shouldn't forget what he did, and what other dog fighters are doing.

Well said.

he's a cur through and through.
He isn't man enough to face up to his accusers and respond to them.
He's been protected and enabled by handlers all his life and never more so than since he got out of jail. Everything "good" he did was a term of his probation.
I don't recall reading anything about all his great work with kids since he finished that...

and there should be a law against bad animal-related headlines like this one an "quit dogging Vick" in these stories
