Michael Vick would like to be a dog owner again.

The Philadelphia Eagles QB -- convicted in 2007 of a federal dogfighting crime -- has said he would like to run full circle and again own a dog if the courts will allow him.

Vick was banned from owning a dog as part of the sentence handed down that sent him to prison for 18 months.

"I would love to get another dog in the future," Vick told TheGrio.com. "I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process. I think just to have a pet in my household and to show people that I genuinely care, and my love, and my passion for animals."

Vick, enjoying one of his best-ever seasons after winning the Eagles' starting job in September, has tried to make amends for his dogfighting past.

He completed his 20-month sentence, which included two months of home confinement, and began working with the Humane Society.

Vick was banned from owning a dog under the terms of his supervised release in July 2009. The supervised release was set to run for three years.

Vick has since apologized for his role in the dogfighting ring and he now informs young people about the evils of the bloodsport.

He told TheGrio.com he was around dogfighting from a young age.

"I hate to use our culture as an excuse, but it is what it is and that's what happened and that's the way I thought about it growing up," Vick said. "This is just the way we were brought up."

Vick has said that prison changed him and made him a smarter and more mature person for having to endure the embarrassment and personal pain of incarceration.

And he made an interesting note about what advice he would give now to himself four years ago.

"That Mike probably wouldn't listen to nothing that I had to say," Vick said.

Some sick rhetoric you have...no?

So what if he doesn't? Isn't the issue here that people don't think he will?

With the time he served for doing the dogfighting, the millions he lost, and everyone waching his every move, I would bet his dog would be one of the most loved in the world. It would equate to a second chance for him. I really dont understand Vicks stance on dogs, whether he sees them as pets or tools for money, but I would bet he would treat a new dog like a pet.

NO THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING

I could try and use crayon or smaller words if you need to...

Okay...that is funny...

Back to the argument...

I never used a simile with that...never said they are equally punishable...

I am gonna guess that the vast majority of people would think theres no way in hell Vick will abuse another animal for the rest of his life...I mean the guy lost MILLIONS, got locked up for like two years and nearly lost being able to play ball......

Maybe that was the point of your post, if so I agree 100%.

As far as Vick, too damn bad. Yeah, he made a mistake and maybe he has learned his lesson. I don't care. He doesn't need a dog.

Bullfighting is very interesting, especially live.

You didnt have to use a simile, you said it in this thread...The simile is implied...You were equating the two things..Otherwise why would you have posted it?

A different species? How ****ed up can you be?

Last time I checked dogs and humans didn't exactly do the same things. What would be a better word for the difference?

A better word would be shut your PETA loving mouth. People that think an animal and a human are on equal par, are nothing more than animals of different species, are mentally disturbed.
