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.

You hold a dog's life and a human's life in the same value?

Try typing equivalent into Microsoft Word and then clicking on the thesaurus button. You may be surprised.

You misunderstood me. I wasnt arguing your message, but killing a million dogs just to protect one child from getting a ruler slap to the wrist is kinda pushing it too far. If you meant something different, then apologies for my misunderstanding.

I think maybe they have good intentions but they choose a shit bag way to go about it in most cases.As far as Vick goes,if he would mistreat another dog ever in his life,then he is truly the dumbest mother****er alive.

Considering the state in which you reside I have no doubt you mean that in the biblical sense.

Their intentions are mostly political. I doubt they give two shits about animals above their own organization, and it sickens me.

People on Sports Nation's facebook status are comparing killing dogs to molesting children. There are some really stupid people in this world.

Why not let him? Everyone is so sure that he means what he says when he says he didn't know it was wrong and is now rehabilitated. Why not let him prove it once and for all? Why deprive his kids of the privilege of owning a dog?

Ok maybe I didn't say it right.Maybe their "don't mistreat animals campaign" was intended to help,but they still go about things like a bunch of douche bags pushing an agenda clearly far from actually helping anything but themselves.

Pretty much sums it up.

It must be, considering he can't do it until after he's off parole. Seems like a logical condition.
