If you didn’t see Michael Vick’s return to the NFL, we have the footage under the hood for you.

The lady that’s up top, Robin Starr, was a major figure in pushing for a more severe punishment for Michael Vick. Ironically enough, she just killed her dog by leaving the dog in her car:

A prosecutor said no charges are planned against the executive for an anti-animal cruelty group whose 16-year-old…
…blind and deaf dog died after accidentally being left in a hot car for four hours. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Tracy Thorne-Begland said Wednesday charges are not planned against Robin Starr, CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Starr says she didn’t realize “Louie” was in the car until noon. Starr’s husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car’s cargo area as she got ready for work Aug. 19 but forgot to tell her. She often took the dog to work with her.

Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure. The National Weather Service says the temperature had reached 91 degrees by noon that day. Starr has been a vocal critic of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick who was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for his role in running a dogfighting ring. When Vick was reinstated to the NFL, Starr said “The action of the NFL commissioner to reinstate Michael Vick is both premature and unwise. Vick has not yet demonstrated that his remorse is sincere or that his irresponsible, cruel and criminal behaviors are likely to change. The NFL and its leadership apparently lack the integrity to require civilized behavior from their players. This would reflect poorly on any team that adds Vick to its roster.”

Ho, sit down! Hey PETA….”The Fans Have Spoken!”

    My heart goes out to the poor pup that lost its life but I find it almost funny that the woman responsible is the same woman who couldn’t give a young brotha a break, inspite of the fact that he’s done all that was expected…apologize, did his time in jail – and yet she still kept coming back talking trash. I bet she shuts up now!

    Sad for poor Louie, but sweet justice for Vick. This is a lesson for us all: Be very careful of how harshly you judge the bad decisions and shortcomings of others. You never know what life has in store for you.

    Some of her former supporters have turned on her like a pack of rabid pitbulls, and are even calling for her resignation/termination. Imagine that.

  • CHEYENNE

    THIS WOMAN SHOULD GO TO JAIL, SHE KILLED AN INNOCENT AND HANDICAPPED DOG….IF IT WERE SOMEONE ELSE THEY WOULD PROBABLY GET 5 – 10 YEARS….PETA, SHE’S GUILTY AND SHOULD GO TO JAIL….STATE PROSECUTOR YOUR NOT DOING YOUR JOB…SHE SHOULD GO TO JAIL…..

    I wonder if she will resign herself from her postion, and what will she do about her irresponsible husband, that should have cared enough about the dog to remember to remind her that it was in the car.

    It really made me happy to see Vick out there just playin football. you can tell the gridiron is where he’s most comfortable. I hope he and my EAGLES have a great season!

  • Donte C. Love

    Bwahahahhaaa!!

    White people white people white people.

    No charges will be filed, well I be damned it wont after I compose a letter to the national president of the SPCA calling for her resignation.

  • Black

    THE WHITE MAN IS FINALLY FALLING!!!!!!!

  • Donte C. Love

    Ron Mexico should arrange a rally outside of the SPCA calling for her job!! :D

  • Da Hook

    @Lala
    So if she should not be charge, then her husband should be charge then.

  • Dominique Devereaux

    So LaLa you slept with him and he gave you herpes?

  • lala

    For what, Da hook? He ddn’t kill the dog. The dog died of liver failure. It was a deaf, blind, 16 yr old dog.
    They cared for that dog for 16 years.

    Mike Trick Vick slaughtered dogs for 6 years. He’s a sociapath.

  • Cass

    And you are on point LaLa. Couldn’t agree with you more.

  • Y’all can’t be serious…

    @ Donte C. Love

    No disrespect intended, but if you DO decide to write a letter calling for her resignation, know you’re more than likely wasting your time. Do you think your words will hold any weight in regards to Mrs. Starr’s years of service with the VA SPCA, as well as what’s been documented in her efforts to save the dog?

  • CF98

    Y’all can’t be serious. ITA

    And yes it is ironic but people need to realize that dogfighting alone isn’t what got Vick 2 years in prison. Its the fact that he bankrolled an interestate dogfighting ring and failed to tell Uncle Sam about it.

  • lala

    Loverboy,

    PETA abhor hunters. Are you serious? What rock are you under? They are always picketing, and they also go undercover in the slaughterhouses to document abuse of the pigs and (down/mad) cows (that feed our kids.)

  • NOr*Cal

    @ Ya’ll can’t be serious
    I stopped reading your comment when you compared Black people to dogs. good day!

  • Leave Vick along lala

    Where did her husband put the dog at in the car??? The trunk! She couldn’t hear, see, or smell the dog. I think her husband is just covering up for his wife mistake.

  • lala

    He’s ranked 25th in QB skills – before jail.

  • PETA Sympathizer

    MRS STARR NEEDS TO RESIGN OR THE RICHMOND, VA SPCA RISKS LOSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DONATION MONEY. I HAVE READ THEIR LOCAL NEWSPAPER BLOGS AND SOME PEOPLE WILL STOP GIVING MONEY IF SHE STAYS.

  • Y’all can’t be serious…

    @NOr*Cal

    Someone COULD say I was trying to connect my people with dogs, just as you did…but it would be a very, very, VERY thin connection. Of course I’d never in my life relate to us as being on the same level as dogs, but since you stopped reading as you say, you missed my point.

    We as a people demand respect in all avenues of life, from others as well as each other, and we should get it. Anything you bring into your home, whether it be human, pet, or plant, should be respected as well. When Mr. Vick chose to set up an arena for the maiming and killing of animals and by some accounts, use his own hands to kill the dogs who couldn’t fight anymore, he lost all respect I could possibly give him…and yet, I see my people celebrating because he’s one of us.

    This isn’t about me unintentionally relating to my people as dogs, and it isn’t about hating Mr. Vick because of what he did on that farm. This is ultimately about us waking up and holding ourselves accountable for our actions, right or wrong, and acting on that. And I sincerely wish you a good day as well.

  • Nik

    It is so sad how white people treat dogs better than Black people. They can hunt dear, moose, birds and call it a game sport but judged Mike Vic so harshly. We forgive you Mike and keep your head up. Most white people are devils.

  • The Bear- (Cameo is the funkiest band ever)

    I say she should be prosecuted just on the principle of the thing.

    I CAN NOT STAND HIPOCRITES!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Y’all can’t be serious…

    @ CF98…

    Good point, and thank you for adding that to the discussion.

  • Donte C. Love

    @The Bear

    Give it up already I know you are Oshie. I have read your comments when you converse with her/yourself.

  • NOr*Cal

    @ Ya’ll can’t be serious

    I agree everybody deserves respect, especially a man payed his debt to society apologized, repented and is back on his grind. As far as Mrs Starr is concerned All I’m saying is : “be very careful of the way you judge others for the weight you use to judge another will be the same weight used to judge you.”

    ********************

    isn’t it interesting that in some twisted logic that is NOT considered animal abuse? how is keeping an animal that is deaf, mute, blind and 16 freaking years old considered humane? some of these people REALLY need help.

    @ JOE CRACKA

    Who told you that black ppl are nuts about intergration?(who are you getting THAT from That’s false!)
    Who tld you that the MAJORITY of blacks arein jail
    THat’s REALLY false.

    You must be young! If so…i understand!

    Or you’re just joking..If so..ok!

    think

  • yeah

    people need to leave Mike Vick alone, he did what he did and he payed for it…..Move on!!!

    I personally think they were way tooooo hard on the fellow…….

  • Doc

    I’m sure what she did was stupid but it certainly isn’t criminal.
    I don’t think the airhead set out to kill the dogs but locking them in the car. Not quite the same as eloctrocuting them is it?

  • http://bossip.com Molly

    Always a double standard for those people!

  • http://bossip.com Mz.CW

    The dog was blind and deaf…um does that mean that you wont know his behind is in your bag seat. Dogs make alot of noises in general from sneezing to grunting….so yes if she isnt a walking contradiction, then Oprah aint rich…….

    This past Thursday August 27, 2009 I experience Fraud on my Credit card at the Town House located on 6835 La Tijera Blvd Los Angeles CA. I’m piss, but I will hate for anybody to have the same experience. Somebody who worked there tried to purchase $300.00 worth of Cigars but my good Oh Credit Card Company declined the charges b/c they thought it was suspicious. Please tell friends and family to reframe from this establishment. For what ever reason they may decide to go let them know to use cash for their protection…… Pass to friends……

  • the truth

    it can’t be ironic if the chick never knew she had the dog in the first place

    “Starr says she didn’t realize “Louie” was in the car until noon. Starr’s husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car’s cargo area as she got ready for work Aug. 19 but forgot to tell her. She often took the dog to work with her.”

  • Exotic Brownz

    B*tch needs to resign from her position. She KNEW her dog was in the cargo area of her vehicle. NICE TRY for a cover-up!!!!!!!!! Such a shame!!!!

  • robert skoon

    wow! what this woman did, yes, was a stupid oversight, but she didnt even know the dog was in the car because her husband, a very stupid oversight, didnt tell her. get a clue, there was not intent.

    michael vick INTENDED to inflict suffering and death.

    no one here can really be so unbelievably stupid enough to equate this to what vick did, the willful, intentional inflicting of torturing, killing, and inhumane housing of dogs repeatedly over years and years.

    ironically, it almost seems you’d have to be blindly racist to defend vick, as there is no justification for attempting to equate these two entiirely different things.

  • superman

    one thing is clear from this forum. there are a bunch of ignorant, uneducated people here who love to use the race card in the most unjustified situations.

  • They Call Me…AJ

    Well hate to be the bad guy, but…
    She often took him, not all the time
    This was an accident. She didn’t know the dog was in the car, her husband put him in there without her knowing.

    Michael Vick knew what he was doing was wrong. He purposely engaged in the illegal activities.(Multiple times maybe?)

    Accidental death and animal cruelty

    There’s a difference. Although I agree that MV’s punishment was harsh, because he is a public figure (and I really do think race played an issue) This is a bit ironic, but no, the two cases are not the same.

    Rest in Peace Louie…

  • Lynn

    This same woman pushed for the prosecution and firing of a female cop that left her dog in the patrol car…so “it was an accident” is no excuse. Talk about torture…I think baking your dog in a car for 4 hours might qualify.

  • MONIBU

    The reality of it is that even if the dog was put in the car by someone else dogs shift and move some much while in the car that it’s hard to not know they are there. That dog died a slow and cruel death in 90 degree weather. Mike Vick served his time, lost a lot finacially and has apologized for his wrong doing. What more can he do? For her to continue her campaign against him just show her lack of forgiveness. Karma is awesome. Has she apoligized. No she just let her husband take the fall and then blamed the dogs death on him being old, blind and death. No resposibility. Let he without sin cast the first stone. PETA take things way to far IMO. I also think it’s strange that none of the other news medias have even address this topic.

  • Sit Down HOmez

    wtf??? yall keep sayin karma…karma?? tell that 2 the dog…whatd he do??? he’s the that got done in! 4 those sayin its the same READ WHAT HE DID 2 THEM DOGS…THE REAL REPORT! I dont evn like dogs like that but the pics were gruesome. eithr way i like vick. he did his time. time 2 start anew. thats the point of jail neway rite? it doesnt work most times but vick lost so much that he has no choice but 2 b better.
    This chick shouldnt go 2 jail but should lose her position how can she tell ppl how not 2 b cruel when she herself couldnt do it n she devotes her life 2 it. idk sounds like a bad chef teachin ppl 2 cook. She plaxico’ed herself.

  • http://Bossip Mrs. Scaife

    Yall see the karma, this b*&ch talking sh*( on Vick and now her dum a&s, left the dog in the f*(kin car, like she didn’t know the muthaf*()er was in there. White folks is something else. Lock that HOE up.

  • DIRT ANGEL

    If you dont get her, why not get her husband.

  • sweetlady

    ok, so let me get this straight…a dog, a moving animal, an animal with a smell other than “human” (lol)…a pet, probably a major part of this “family”, kind of like a ‘child’ some might say, was put into the car (not hiding, he didn’t jump in and no one knew about it, he wasn’t lost and no one knew where he was, etc.) by one of his owners (let’s call him dad)…rode in the car (I’m assuming he’s superb at being quiet and incognito, no panting, no scent-bad or good, nothing) and was left in the car…

    Now, let’s replace the words pet and animal with hmmmmm baby…daddy puts (let’s say a sleeping, quiet, no messy diaper so there are no distinguished or obvious ‘smells’) in the car and mommy doesn’t notice the baby the entire ride…leaves baby in the car and baby dies….

    I’m just saying, if we’re going to treat “lil fi fi” like a human in one case, let’s treat “lil fi fi” like a human in all…or is “lil fi fi” JUST a dog” now????

  • Nick In ATL

    Stupid trick. That just lets you know it wasn’t all about the dogs. Or all that serious. That’s like me ragging about someone cutting down some endangered tree and I have one in my yard I accidentally chop up for firewood. I mean-it was about a black dude who got too uppity. That is all.
