Vick calls for removal of Dog Fighting Android App

[mav1234]

“I’ve come to learn the hard way that dogfighting is a dead-end street,” Vick said. “Now, I am on the right side of this issue, and I think it’s important to send the smart message to kids, and not glorify this form of animal cruelty, even in an Android app.”

May just be a PR move, but it's a good one if so... and while I am usually skeptical I think I'll take a break for this one. I'm going to believe he is actually sincere and think he has really turned the corner. Good for him!

I'm not sure if we'll ever genuinely know if he's a changed man. But so far I'd like to think so.

Yeah, I doubt we will, but all you can ask for is for a guy to seem sincere and make the effort. He seems to be doing so. Hopefully he remains an activist of sorts for this cause.

The best thing for Vick to do is STFU. Nobody wants to hear him talking about animals. You don't treat animals the way he did then come back and act compassionate towards them.

[Matt Foley]

Good for him. And I can't believe someone came up with a dogfighting app.

[Mr. Scot]

My thing too. A dogfighting app? :confused:

[SOJA]

whoever made that app is teh dumbz

good for Mike Vick though, its hard for me to tell if he is sincere, but he is at least giving it an effort

acting like dogfighting doesn't exist won't make it go away. having someone who has "been there" speaking out against it could actually have some real positive impacts... while unlikely it is possible.

while I was lukewarm on him wanting a dog this is different. this is the kind of thing he SHOULD be doing, imo.

There is something seriously wrong if he's ever allowed to own another dog.

Yeah he's pissed you can't electrocute the dog that loses.
