Below, is a link to a blog I found circulating the web. I thought it was worth a share with my animal community! It's a well written piece, detailing concern about having the football player Michael Vick on her show. The open letter welcomes comments and concerns that you may have in regards to the upcoming episode.
I think the biggest wonder is, will Oprah ask him some of the key questions so many of us want to know? Will she pull off a great interview, but get to the bottom of his bipolar attitude towards dog fighting. In other interviews, he shows remorse, and says he cares, then there are some off camera instances (that can be found on youtube) where he clearly states he doesn't care! What is wrong with him?
From what I know, I am happy to report most of his pitbulls were rescued, fostered, and adopted, into better homes! Great news! But I believe the punishment Vick received was minimal, and by allowing him back into the NFL to play was based on pure stupidity! What are we saying to our future generations? That this kind of behavior is acceptable? Another slap on the wrist, and you are off the hook? Again, this a case where justice should be more severe!
What do you think?
