Dog owner can't forgive Michael Vick

    Dog owner can't forgive Michael Vick

    Quarterback shows greatness on the field, but evidence of former cruelty remains.
    November 16, 2010|Bill Plaschke

    While Michael Vick was screaming toward the sky, a black pit bull named Mel was standing quietly by a door.

    On this night, like many other nights, Mel was waiting for his owners to take him outside, but he couldn't alert them with a bark. He doesn't bark. He won't bark. The bark has been beaten out of him.

    While Michael Vick was running for glory, Mel was cowering toward a wall.

    Every time the 4-year-old dog meets a stranger, he goes into convulsions. He staggers back into a wall for protection. He lowers his face and tries to hide. New faces are not new friends, but old terrors.

    While Michael Vick was officially outracing his past Monday night, one of the dogs he abused cannot.

    "Some people wonder, are we ever going to let Michael Vick get beyond all this?" said Richard Hunter, who owns Mel. "I tell them, let's let Mel decide that. When he stops shaking, maybe then we can talk."

    I know, I know, this is a cheap and easy column, right? One day after the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback officially becomes an American hero again, just call the owner of one of the dogs who endured Vick's unspeakable abuse and let the shaming begin.

    Compare Vick's 413 total yards, four touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns against the Washington Redskins to the 47 pit bulls who were seized from Bad Newz Kennels, his interstate dogfighting ring. Contrast one of the best three hours by a quarterback ever to the 21 months he spent in prison.

    Cheap and easy, right? Not so fast. Vick's success is raising one of the most potentially costly and difficult perceptual questions in the history of American sports.

    If he continues playing this well, he could end up as the league's most valuable player. In six games, he has thrown for 11 touchdowns, run for four more touchdowns, committed zero turnovers and produced nearly 300 total yards per game. Heck, at this rate, with his Eagles inspired by his touch, he could even win a Super Bowl, one of the greatest achievements by an American sportsman.

    And yet a large percentage of the population will still think Michael Vick is a sociopath. Many people will never get over Vick's own admissions of unthinkable cruelty to his pit bulls — the strangling, the drowning, the electrocutions, the removal of all the teeth of female dogs who would fight back during mating.

    Said it on the other site, I'll say it here too. Sounds to me like that dog needs to be PTS.

    No kind of life and a liability to the breed.

    Yep. Agree 100%. Sounds like he has an unstable dog there. And Vick did his time. Not as much as what they would give a normal Joe Schmoe but still did it. They'll let sex offenders out in a less time than what he did. Let him be.

    naw you herd about O'l nate newton getting poped with one between the legs. shit if i remember right they had picture of him getting hemmed up. but nate was lucky because michael irving was running around dallas sniffling blow off hookers ass's with the O line. so that got all the media coverage. you'd figure dante stallworth would have snaged a few headlines. after he got shitfaced & killed that old man walking across the street.

    Vick should write a book called "If I was fighting dogs, This is how I did it"

    I guess im on the other side of the fence with this... I dont hate him for matching dogs, I mean its the breeds history, and he served his time, but really cant get past the fact that he tortured these animals.

    I sure dont see the old time dog men ripping dogs teeth out and abusing them for fun. I guess thats the thing I cant get passed personally.

    the folks back then didn't have media like this. the same media that has you believing "men ripping dogs teeth out and abusing them for fun" mental issues has nothing to do with the objects & more to do with the individual. get a clu bud it's not about the animals the judge & jury eat steak.

    it's pretty apparent what i'm saying. if all you got out of it was a "hyped up news story" then were done because if i agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
