Michael Vick And PETA Are Best Friends Forever-NOT!
Written by Vegetarian Star on May 6th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Athletes-Games-Sports.
Ah, rumors. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the downright outrageous.
Like the one about Michael Vick and PETA being chums now and he’ll be starring in one of their provocative advertisements.
Not true at all.
PETA withdrew its offer to team up with Vick for TV spot. Why the cold shoulder from the animal loving group?
Oh, just some Vick talk here and there stating he enjoyed placing family pets in the rings with fighting dogs and laughed as the dogs mutilated each other.
Yeah, you could call that quite an irreconcilable difference.
From PETA’s blog:
“PETA believes that this revelation, along with other factors in the report, fit the established profile for anti-social personality disorder (APD), so in January we called on NFL Commissioner Goodell to require that Vick undergo a brain scan and a full psychological evaluation before any decisions are made about the future of his football career.”
“What can I say? You can’t believe everything you read.”
