As you know by now, Michael Vick and the Humane Society of the United States have teamed up, for better or worse.
Vick has been making public appearances, talking about the cruel decisions he made to partake in dog fighting and trying to convince teens and youth not to follow the same path.
“At some point, I got sidetracked,” Vick said. “I started listening to my friends and doing some things that were not ethical and not right.”
Vick, who spent 18 months in federal prison for his involvement with dog fighting encourages these high school students to speak up if they know animal cruelty is taking place.
Watch the clip above to hear Vick speak to teens at Nueva Esperanza Academy in North Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
