Michael Vick Fights and Kills Dogs

Yes that headline speaks for itself.  I just wanted to use this story as my first story on celebrities with anger problems.  At first when I first heard of the story of Michael Vick fighting dogs for sport, I thought it was okay and didn’t really see what the big deal was.  I was telling friends that it didn’t make sense to me that he was getting into trouble for something that many people across the world did as a sport.  Fighting dogs to me was like fighting roosters or boxers boxing.  It was just another sport and it shouldn’t be illegal in my opinion.

Then as the story unfolded and more details were being released about Michael Vick’s anger problems it started to gross me out.  In addition to fighting dogs, Michael Vick would slaughter and abuse his dogs in inhumane ways.  He would take his dogs and drown them or tortured them with electric shock and hanging.

The things Michael Vick did puts him up there with OJ Simpson as someone who has horrible anger problems.  It’s really hard to forgive someone that tortures animals for the sheer pleasure of doing it.  Remember I’m not against dog fighting, I am against those that beats the crap out of dogs for no good reason.

Well Vick got sent to prison for it and he’s now out of jail.  Well just a few months out of jail, Vick is back to playing football.  Should this be okay with our society?  I personally think once a person serves their time, they should be forgiven and allow to assimilate back into society.  So I think it’s cool that he’s back to playing football.  I just hope he learns from the past and does not go back to his old ways.  I truly hope he proves the many that thinks he’s still got anger problems and would never change.

Only time will tell, but right now Michael Vick is looking like a model citizen with the help of Tony Dungy.  Don’t let your old anger problems come back Michael VICK!!  I’m rooting for you man.
