As part of Michael Vick's sentence for his dogfighting operations, he has been banned from owning dogs for life. But now Vick is hoping to have that part of the punishment reversed as part of his rehabilitation. In an interview with TheGrio.com, Vick expressed hopes that he will one day be able to have a dog as a pet again.
"I would love to get another dog in the future. I think it would be a big step for me in the rehabilitation process," Vick said. "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; I think it would be outstanding. If I ever have the opportunity again I will never take it for granted. I miss having a dog right now. I wish I could. My daughters miss having one, and that's the hardest thing: telling them that we can't have one because of my actions."
Vick is having a career year as quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, currently at top of the NFC East and looking toward a deep playoff run. But even though a lot of fans have forgiven Vick for his bad deeds, there are still a lot of people who harbor hate toward him, believing there is no chance for redemption. The folks at TheGrio.com talked to him about all of these things. The video clip above is from the upcoming interview.

I still don't know why white people put laws on men that say they can't kill animals like it warrents some type of capital punishment. God subjected animals under men. White people are just nutts. Like Kanye says, "All this time y'all tried to black ball me, you forgot about two things, my black balls"!
Genesis 9:1-7, "1 And God went on to bless Noah and his sons and to say to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth. 2 And a fear of YOU and a terror of YOU will continue upon every living creature of the earth and upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon everything that goes moving on the ground, and upon all the fishes of the sea. Into YOUR hand they are now given. 3 Every moving animal that is alive may serve as food for YOU. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give it all to YOU. 4 Only flesh with its soul—its blood—YOU must not eat. 5 And, besides that, YOUR blood of YOUR souls shall I ask back. From the hand of every living creature shall I ask it back; and from the hand of man, from the hand of each one who is his brother, shall I ask back the soul of man. 6 Anyone shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in God’s image he made man. 7 And as for YOU men, be fruitful and become many, make the earth swarm with YOU and become many in it.”

Michael Vick's kids want a dog. Let him have a dog. I think he's sorry for what he did. He paid for his crime. Why should he be punished for the rest of his life? Let the man have a dog for his kids!!!
And I don't agree with Anderson Cooper. I thought that little video clip of his was dumb. White people are way too nutty putting animals over people. And I'm a dog lover and owner.

he should never have another dog, shouldn't even be allowed to have kids around either.
put him on a chain or in a cage as he had his, make him fight for his food.
put him in a cage with a grizzly bear and let him
see how it feels to be torn apart fighting for your life, them pull him out just before death, let him heal and then put him back in again, time and time again.

White people are Stupid! Have no sense - they think animals are humans!
They kill more animals than the law allows (Deer etc.)!
The bottom line is they were just dogs - another nasty animal. Who cares? NOBODY!

I hope and pray that he is not allowed to have a dog. He should be ashamed to even think about owning a dog.
