Michael Vick Says He Wants To Own Another Dog For His Children
According to TMZ reports:
NFL star Michael Vick wants to own a dog again — and five years after his conviction for illegal dog fighting, he can legally get one — but the question is … should he?
The Philadelphia Eagles QB was on Piers Morgan’s show last night, and said he would like to get a dog for his kids.
After Vick served 19 months in federal prison … he was banned from owning dogs for 3 years. That ban is about to expire, and Vick thinks having a dog could be “therapeutic” … for his children. He told Piers, “I can’t take that dream away from them. That’s selfish on my behalf.”
One positive? Vick says he won’t let his kids get a pit bull.
Let’s keep it real. There is NO WAY that Michael “relapses” into his past behavior with animals. He has paid his debt to society and should be allowed to live his life, as he sees fit, without persecution. That said, is this really a good idea???

Welp, that didn’t take long…
According to TMZ reports:
Michael Vick doesn’t really care about animals … and should NOT be allowed to own another dog … this according to the ASPCA.
After Vick went on CNN and told Piers Morgan he hopes to get a new puppy for his kids, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals immediately spoke out against the NFL star who spent 19 months in prison for illegal dogfighting.
“Vick’s journey toward rehabilitation and redemption has not reflected any direct concern for the wellbeing of animals, and we’ve never heard him express a shred of empathy toward the dogs he brutalized and killed” … the org. tells TMZ.
The ASPCA continues, “Rather than talk about the horrors and brutalities of dog fighting, Vick has instead chosen to focus on the consequences of getting caught.”
“Vick’s actions have been simply self-serving and not remotely expressing remorse. Because of this, the ASPCA has serious concerns about Vick’s ability to be a responsible pet guardian.”
Some people just can’t let it go…SMH
