If Vick is really sincere, he should start a program for animal cruelty awareness, specifically addressing dog fighting, and pay for it out of his own pocket. He should go around to areas where dogfighting is found “acceptable” and educate people about it’s heinousness.
Pah-leeeez. Who on this fucking planet wants to hear Vick talk about how hurting animals is wrong. Which animal cruelty program can shed the image of being associated with him? No ‘act’ will show sincerity.
Public acts of contrition are all about being seen, is there anything a celebrity won’t do for that?
Yep. A few years ago I did some surgery on a dog that had been abused. The asswipe was caught. He caused chemical burns to his gf’s dog’s face using oven cleaner. The cops came to do a follow up interview with the gf. The asswipe was home this time, and kept looking nervously at his refrigerator. Which had a can of half used oven cleaner standing on it. When the cops asked what he was looking at, he broke like a little girl.
Anyway, the guy lost his gf and his trial. The judge ordered him to jail time, a fine, and public service; specifically working at a veterinary hospital. When the ADA called me to set it up, I told him no fucking way was the asswipe allowed on my property. Every practice he called said basically the same thing.
