Michael Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons star quarterback convicted of killing dogs for sport and profit, may not have gotten his old Nike contract back, but he is following the well-worn path of former child stars, celebrity heiresses and Z-list actors.Yes, Michael Vick has gotten his own reality TV show, which he describes as "a story of hope" for kids who may be "dealing with adversity," the LA Times reported Tuesday. Vick, who served 18 months in prison for running the notorious dog-fighting ring Bad Newz Kennels, is teaming up with BET for the new eight-part "docu-series," tentatively titled "The Michael Vick Project."
Ok, I am writing this blog as my Jack Russel, Katie lays in my lap.........It burns me up that Micheal Vick is able to do these things to animals and still be able to profit from it by having a reality show. Articles say he lost 100 million dollars by being caught and serving 18 months in prison. I say he didn't lose enough. His on production company is working with BET to put on this reality show. He is reported to profit $20 million dollars from the 10 episode series.
He took a trip to his seized property in Virgina, you know the one that had all the out buildings painted black so people couldn't see them at night while the fights were taking place. He walked past the graves of the dogs that he electrocuted, hung, and drowned for not performing well in these fights. He told cameras he couldn't believe he had done these things to all those dogs. Of course he would say that, he is trying to sway public opinion in his favor. Then to add insult to injury he had the nerve to say he wanted to stop but didn't know how to stop it. Uh hello dude......its your property, your dogs, your money, if you wanted to stop it you could have at any time, idiot!!!
I would have given the loser a little.....just a little bit of slack if he would have stopped the torture and fighting himself without doing it because he got caught. Wait he didn't stop because he got caught, he stopped because all the dogs were seized, his property was seized and he was finally detained by Federal Marshall's and sentenced to the maximum sentence of 23 months because of his unwillingness to cooperate with authorities.
Sorry......Sorry......Sorry, dude if you were sorry your 20 million would be going to Best Friends Animal Society, or some of the other groups that took in those poor dogs. Best Friends actually did a really good job rehabbing those dogs, they were so willing to be loved and love in return. Ok Chance don't get mushy here, back to Vick. If he were truly sorry he would be making every effort to help the organizations that take in dogs, give them care and find homes for them. He would be better served helping these organizations through donations of money and his time than making some "feel sorry for me reality show" that he and his promotion company are gonna profit from. I sure as the heat from the media gets hotter he will start releasing statements about donating the proceeds to these organizations...........
I for one am not buying this load of.......well you know what its a load of. If you are so black hearted that you can torture an animal who just want to be loved, I would be hard pressed to believe you were sorry now, other than sorry for loosing millions of dollars. Michael Vick, I am sorry, I am sorry that you didn't receive more time in prison, I am sorry you were even aloud back into the NFL, I am sorry that people would even give you the time of day much less a reality show. Ok so I have my first rant out of the way and hope it came across well. Sorry for the horrible pics of those poor animals, but it helps make a point.
This post was very well said. I couldn't agree more. That just burns me up.
ReplyDelete(M.Helleson) OMGosh, Chance...I had no idea of such. This is beyond awful! Gut rendering Sickening! Maddening beyond words. You have done a great blog...service in sharing a lot of important information that the public should already know/realize/follow....yet average person does not. I am a lover of all animals, so dog fights, rooster, bull, chicken, all make me physically sick...it's totally...inhumane, insane and $$$/perverted psycho idiots are the only ones that could possibly endure the horrors thereof!!!
