Michael Vick - Pit Bulls And The NFL
After serving 18 months of a sentence of 23 months to organize a dogfighting operation, Michael Vick now has to play football, this time for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Former Atlanta Falcons Michael Vick was convicted of dog fighting fund at his home in Atlanta in 2007. In 2001, Vick and three friends started the "Bad Newz Kennels", shortly after Vick, the number one draft pick, signed with the Falcons. There were 51 pit bulls taken from the property.
In most states, there are pit bulls seized dog fighting rings, killed because they are too dangerous to be adopted as pets. All Bad Newz Kennels dogs come has been traumatized, abused, neglected and abused. There were dead dogs on the property. A judge has decided to spare the immediate death of the dogs and allowed them to be placed in separate institutions for evaluation. Of the 51 dogs taken from Vick's kennel, two died while in a refuge, had asked a because it was too violent, and one was too ill and injured and was euthanized. Many experts believe that fighting dogs can never be made safe for the family pet, but people who work with Michael Vick pit bulls is no doubt some of these dogs can be saved.
For many of these dogs, the problem can not be dog aggressive, but the shy and nervous dogs. There was no positive socialization, the only way for dogs to other dogs were opponents to fight to the death. To foster carers and adoptive families have found that these ex-fighting dogs have no idea how to deal with a family member.
Pit Bull or American Pit Bull Terrier, were in fact a family pet of choice for many years. They were known as the "nanny dog" because of the way they were with the children in the family. They were extremely reliable and safe around children.
Pit bulls have recently grown in popularity with the street gangs. Dogs are a kind of status symbol. Gangs use dogs to threaten and a way to scare people. It may be illegal to walk around with a knife or a gun, but it is not illegal to walk with the dog. Gangs also use dogs to protect their territory and their properties. It 'became more important to have the biggest, meanest, most vicious dog in the street. The education was to produce this result, so that the pit bull dangerous, no longer a familiar breed. Dog fighting became a way for gangs to make more money, so it's become an operation of gambling, which is a big business. This was undoubtedly the cause of Michael Vick and his friends were involved.
After hearing the graphic details of what was done to dogs, Michael Vick, the way they were beaten and killed. Many people were convinced he had to do serious time in jail and never be allowed to play professional football again. Michael Vick sentenced to 18 months to 23 months in prison and ordered to pay more than $ 900,000.00 for the care and rehabilitation of the dogs seized from his property.
Last week I reported that Michael Vick has signed a two-year contract to play Philadelphia Eagles. Buzzword around the decision is a "second chance". Many fans feel Vick has done his time and paid for his crime, so should be able to play football again. Just as many fans say Vick should never play again, and they also said that they no longer Eagles fans. There is a huge uproar in the city on the decision. And 'obviously an emotional issue.
