I just overheard this on a local network news station.  Mike Vick was asked if he would like to own another dog.  Mike Vick’s response was “Yes”.

I also assume that every addict would like another fix.  I guess that every alcoholic would like another drink.  Doesn’t every offender want “another”? Does Mike Vick deserve another pet?  I was not aware, but according to Mike Vick’s probationary terms he is prohibited from owning dogs, maybe even any pet.  The question becomes this, “does Mike Vick deserve to own another animal”? Why would he want another pet?  Mike Vick has violated the terms of a, “pet owner”, hasn’t he?  Furthermore, what has Vick done to deserve to be a pet owner?  Nothing!  Mike Vick obviously has a plan for every pet he happens to own.  Mike Vick has shown us that he does not value a pet.  Vick has proved that he does not even understand the concept of a pet.

A pet is a loyal, trusted, valued member of your family.  A pet is not a commodity, a source for sick pleasure, or a “toy” to be abused or used for your sick pleasure.  This news story didn’t really hit me until I took the time to think about it further.  Why in the hell would Mike Vick want another pet?  Vick is not a stupid man; I don’t think he has the balls to be a repeat offender given the red carpet return that the NFL gave him.  Clearly, a dog to Mike Vick is a tool to use for sick pleasure and unnecessary financial gain.  So why all of a sudden would a sick person like Vick want to have a pet?

Perhaps it’s for his kids?  I am not sure how many he has, how many live with him, or how many different homes his kids live in with various wives or girlfriends.  However, if any of those kids have pets, I am sure it must be an “inconvenience” for those households to have to hide the pets because “daddy” is coming over.  Right?  Perhaps Vick could pit his kid’s goldfish against each other and bet a couple of Chiclets on the winner?  Or he could go get the kids those fighter fish, the ones with the nice fins that cannot be in a tank together, (I think they are called Beta fish?), and fight them.  Or maybe the pet store will not sell him two because they know what he will do with them?  Don’t worry Mike, you can buy one, put it against a mirror and watch it fight himself!

Here’s the deal:  screw you Mike Vick!  You don’t deserve the company of a loyal and committed pet.  I would suggest that if your kids want one, that they get a restraining order first!  Have a nice dog free life Vick!  You screwed up the “Pet Ownership” card!

By the way, the news story ended with, “I am sure the anti-vick blogs will have something to say”.  They hear us.  They know were out here.  They may not call us by name, but we are being heard!

Thanks for your interest.
