So it seems as though PETA is getting blood slung at them this go round.  Fast forward to the 0:30 mark to skip the intros, and hear several stories about how PETA allegedly hired people to adopt pets just for them to euthanize for sh*ts and giggles. David Martosko is quoted saying that “last year (2008) peta killed 2,124 pets. They found adoptive homes for exactly 7. This is the dirty little secret in the animal rights world. It’s that PETA kills animals.”

Now I’m not sure if this is true or not, but it surely wouldn’t surprise me.  Anyone with good sense can see that PETA absolutely has an ulterior motives.  With the news that Michael Vick has just signed with the Eagles on a temporary basis, I am anticipating that they will get back started on their attempt to ruin his life.  If PETA were really concerned about ANIMAL RIGHTS, they would picket at the Kentucky Derby, polo matches, the dog races, etc etc etc.

What some people may not be aware of is that PETA approached Mike while he was serving his prison term to be a spokesperson, and he was very excited and grateful for that opportunity.  When he discovered that part of PETA’s deal was that he would never play football again, he realized that they were only interested in HIS EMBARRASSMENT, and not at all interested in animals.  This is why he agreed to work with the Humane Society, the much larger organization that PETA wished they were.

I said all of that to say this. Please do not be mislead by PETA’s false sense of pride.  Sure they may not eat meat when others are looking. Sure they may picket against wearing leather shoes while they euthanize pets for their enjoyment. But anybody who knows Michael Vick him knows that despite the allegations made against him, he is an avid animal lover.  He has agreed to never own a pet again, which also means that his children will never have the chance to be responsible caretakers as children as many people did.  He acknowledged his horrible decisions, served a prison sentence, lost millions of dollars, has endured more humiliation than we could imagine, and has to answer questions about this for the rest of his life.  I say leave the man alone and find me a tv.  I haven’t watched football since his suspension and am super stoked to get back in the loop.  ”Are you ready for some football?” *Goes shopping for Philadelphia Eagles #7 jersey*
