Tell the NFL to Suspend Michael Vick
Like you, I was shocked at the allegations against Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick for running a violent dog fighting operation that allegedly resulted in the deaths and maiming of many dogs.
Reports have emerged that as many as 70 dogs were found on his Virginia property along with paraphernalia used in dog fighting, which has long been illegal because it is one of the cruelest forms of animal abuse.
The allegations are of great concern especially as Vick is a person who is idolized by millions of people, including children.
The NFL has barred Vick from attending training sessions but has not suspended him outright. IFAW is calling on the National Football League to immediately suspend Vick and you can help send the message!
Join me in writing a letter to the NFL urging the NFL Commissioner to hold Michael Vick to the highest possible legal standard.
Roger Goodell, Commissioner
National Football League
280 Park Ave.
New York, N.Y. 10017
Please tell others to join us in helping to make sure such a terrible act of animal cruelty such as dog fighting does not go unpunished.

Michael Vick deserves everything that he is getting for being an animal abuser! I hope he loses every contract, endorsement, etc. that he has, or ever even thought about having, over this. What a shame to have so much athletic talent and great things going for you and yet be such a sick ignorant individual. I think we are witnessing the fall of Michael Vick--oh well, he deserves it & more. Maybe one of his new friends in "the pokey" will put him in the rape stand for awhile! He's just another LOSER!

the mullah cimic has a very jaundiced view of life. No animal likes being hurt. May Allah forgive him for suggesting that cruelty to one of His creations is okay. Yes it appears that Muslims have been debased by America's treatment of them, but that is no excuse for his comments. Vick is vile, the vilest of the vile. Cruelty to dogs is hard to understand when we all know a well cared for dog offers it's owner uncondtional love, and that dogs sem to enjoy their role helping the disabled
