I also reminded Mr. Pacelle that he disgusts me and makes me ponder how he sleeps at night. He won't answer, because he cannot. I can't seem to locate an e-mail to HSUS staff, but his blog contact address is: http://blog.humanesociety.org/contact?credit=blog_post_091415_idhome-page<br /><br />Why not blast him today? Flood his in-box with Hate Vick mail. ;) Make him feel the wrath.

It means you forgive them for what they did, but you also can't forgive someone who doesn't even think they did anything wrong. You forgive someone who wants to be forgiven and who knows they did the wrong thing. Mr Vick is not to be forgiven, since he doesn't even think he did anything wrong. If he hadn't been caught, he'd still be doing it. What are all these kids learning? That if you have enough money and fame, you can do horrible things to helpless victims and pick up where you left off. All because he plays stupid football. Maybe we should look into the NFL culture that breeds men like Michael Vick, OJ, Rae Carruth and numerous other violent, gun toting, abusive, drug addled morons.blammahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16197515945404786456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-53720461890950712152009-11-03T17:16:00.602-08:002009-11-03T17:16:00.602-08:00Thank you for writing this.

I'm sure he always knew, like every other major sports player who's every broken the law, that they'll always get their second chance. And there will always be tons of money in that industry because fans keep dishing out the dough to support businesses like the NFL. <br />Because our society puts so much value on the sports industry regardless of the many homeless, jobless, undereducated and helpless.<br /><br /> Disgusting - all of it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-2892223426355302322009-08-21T12:25:38.435-07:002009-08-21T12:25:38.435-07:00yep, thanks tim! and if i do, you guys will be amo...yep, thanks tim! and if i do, you guys will be amongst the first to know.leighanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-60721104874947777972009-08-20T21:16:16.119-07:002009-08-20T21:16:16.119-07:00Thank goodness Leigha - may you hit it big!Thank goodness Leigha - may you hit it big!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654993049959218916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-57470870234445175182009-08-20T13:05:38.001-07:002009-08-20T13:05:38.001-07:00haha thanks tim, i say that same thing to people a...haha thanks tim, i say that same thing to people and i do play. a whopping 5 or 10 dollars a week, hah. and my husband supports me giving a large portion to bad rap if i ever win, not that he has a say in it :~), but seriously he too knows you guys are very worthy of every dollar you get.<br /><br />i want to also mention, that comment about "that dead eyed man" is so accurate. my sister said the exact same thing about him a couple months ago.leighanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-76704951102260522442009-08-19T23:33:28.171-07:002009-08-19T23:33:28.171-07:00On another note, Leigha - remember, you have to pl...On another note, Leigha - remember, you have to play the Lotto to win the Lotto!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17654993049959218916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35009181.post-17021530168810844932009-08-19T22:03:39.832-07:002009-08-19T22:03:39.832-07:00Agreed, the interview was a joke without the laugh...Agreed, the interview was a joke without the laughs, and curiously the network for the first time saw fit to leave out the gratuitous dogfighting footage. Without doubt it was all part of the agreement.<br /><br />Vick being exposed to the blood-sport at such an early age was surely not left out though and now Vick is the victim - gotta love it. I'm quite sure plenty of street kids were exposed at an early age that it scared the hell out of and it probably put them to tears. Children of any age can be extremely sensitive to the suffering of animals.<br /><br />I'm done for the night though and have been feeling off all day after writing last night's blog. I'm not fond of spending that much time thinking of that monotone, dead-eyed man.

Thank you for writing this great p...Tim and Donna,<br /><br />Thank you for writing this great piece to set the record, and to help us heal.<br /><br />The online excerpt of Vick talking to the kids he said 4 times "For life of me I don't now why and stopped" What a pathological liar, basically! You know why? Cop to it!<br /><br />I for one have written Vick's new employer (and got an answer back), and told them they are on the main stage, and clock is running, and we are all watching which path the Eagles choose, to do something to help, or they choose to ignore, which will be more of the same? I chose the later. <br /><br />That whole interview was practiced many times over with his crisis team, before the interview. I would encourage you all to write the Eagles, especially the youth program, and tell them they need to help, and get involved in their community to teach responsible dog ownership, and to become the NFL flagship Team for change, since they chose to take on this monster!

Thank you for calling him on his insincerity. It was a well-rehearsed performance, with no ownership taken for HIS personal heinous acts of cruelty.
