Vick won’t see his former dogs
 
http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slu...v=ap&type=lgns



OAKLAND, Calif. (AP)—A Bay Area pit bull advocacy group says Michael Vick(notes) has declined an invitation to visit eight of his former dogs this weekend when the Philadelphia Eagles are in town to play the Oakland Raiders.

The group BAD RAP (Bay Area Doglovers Responsible About Pitbulls) told The Associated Press on Wednesday that it extended the invitation through the Eagles to Vick last week to view his former dogs that were part of the dog fighting operation at Bad Newz Kennels in southeastern Virginia.

BAD RAP co-founder Tim Racer said the group picked a location that would have allowed Vick to view the dogs from behind a window at a distance that satisfied the conditions of his parole that bar him from being near animals.

Racer said the Eagles informed him Wednesday that Vick would decline the offer. An e-mail sent to an Eagles spokesman was not immediately returned.

“We understand Vick is trying to right his wrongs and is very interested in redemption, but you can’t find redemption without acknowledging your victims,” Racer said. “Making amends to the dogs themselves would have helped to create some closure for many of us, especially those people who worked so hard to keep them from being destroyed. It seems that Vick is not ready to go there.”

Oakland-based BAD RAP absorbed 10 of Vick’s dogs into its foster program after being given permission from the federal government to evaluate and rescue as many of the dogs as possible.

Sunday’s game against the Raiders is the first road game for Vick since being reinstated to the NFL following an 18-month prison sentence for his involvement in a dogfighting ring. A spokesman for the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said it has no plans to protest the game.

Dear Tim Racer,

You're a douchbag.

Thanks,

Why would you invite Vick to see the dogs? Keep Vick away from dogs. Keep Vick away from any living thing besides defensive tackles.

Not that I'm aware of.

I think he should be allowed to visit them with bacon underwear on.

For publicity.

Are you kidding me? How can these dogs ever expect to move on and lead normal lives if they cant see Vick face to face again to express their anger??

Lono 10-15-2009 01:35 PM

These people only did this to get their name out there. Let's move on and leave him alone already. He paid his dues.

Sanka 10-15-2009 02:05 PM

They should have the dogs attack the stupid ****.

Agreed

Isn't forcing a dog to stay in Oakland worse than making it fight?

There was a HBD topic for him a couple of weeks ago and he dropped by to say thanks so I would assume he at least browses the board from time to time.

Go up in the Gambling thread, he responded to me just a little while ago.

Making amends with the dogs ? WTF ? Are they going to carry on a conversation. They're dogs, he served his time 2yrs. These treehuggers are hilarious, probably publicity stunt.

Amen...

And only fast hard hitting ones.

I love how people concerned about animal rights are viewed as tree huggers. Vick did pay his dues to the Federal Justice System and has every right to be free, work in the NFL and do whatever. However, his mentality was so keenly ****ed up that it might be good for him as a person to view these animals and try to bridge the gap mentally that maybe what he did was actually wrong - not just illegal.

"...conditions of his parole that bar him from being near animals."

You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Mike Vick was sent to prison today after he and a squirrel shared a bark bench.
