I just read that JC Penney is going to feature a mens clothing line using the "Redemption' label"! Please do not buy any clothes from this line. In fact, boycott Penneys from now to doomsday.

Michael Vick is a thug and why should he benefit and make $$ off of something he did which was so horrific? All you need to do is watch 'Animal Cops Houston' on the Animal Planet channel to see how the dogs that are found that have been dogfighting are kept in squalor conditions with no food or water BUT worse than that, they are sliced and diced up, bleeding and left for dead (if they didn't win).

I beg of you all, if you love animals as much as I do, you will let your voices be heard.

It's important to get the facts right, especially when asking people to boycott a business. While it is true that he is marketing a clothing line, from what I have read it will be sold only through a sports apparel chain called Modells. I have not been able to find any information that he will be selling it through JC Penney. Also, by the standards we set in our justice system, he has paid for his crimes. Additionally, he works very hard for the ASPCA and other groups to end dog fighting and other acts of animal cruelty. I am a dog lover and believe that what he did was despicable, but I believe he has paid for his crimes (more than any other animal abuser in history) and has reformed and should be allowed to go on with his life.

Thank you so much for setting me straight. I appreciate it very much. Thanks!

Agree, He paid for his crime,just let it go............

[duffysmom]

I don't care if it's Modell's or Penny's he should be boycotted. The only thing rehabilitated is his reputation. Don't bother asking me how I know this because it's my own opinion. Anyone who tortured animals and enjoyed it as sport is beyond rehabilitation. I put him in a class with pedophiles and abhor the fact that he isn't in prison.

I am not going to be posting on this site much longer but I agree with Duffy. What Vick did is beyond cruel and saying he paid for his crime is BS. Supposed someone rape and killed your daughter and he went to jail. Would you say the same thing? That he paid his dues. People like him don't belong on earth. End of discussion.

People do deserve a second chance from their mistakes, BUT...sorry...the activity Vic was involved was beyond a mistake, it was a choice. He was a grown man killing animals who did not preform...why in the world would Penny's step so low to use this guy to help build their business...big mistake..I am with you all the way!

I agree 100%. In my opinion Michael Vick is loathsome. Anyone who preys on the vulnerable and helpless, either humans or animals, is pond scum.

I agree that he was involved in illegal dogfighting and should have been punished for the crime and he was as the legal system dictated. We don't have to agree with the sentence but it was what it was and it just has to be accepted. But, how can you actually sit there and compare the rape and killing of one's daughter to the dogfighting that Vick was involved with? That's absurd!!!

I live in PA with a bunch of Eagle fans. Seems like they will forgive Vick anything if he has a good season. I am someone who can never forgive what he choose to do to those dogs for sport and would still be doing (IMHO)

[lovsthosebigdogs]

Ugh, only half of my post actually posted. To finish, I was trying to say that he would still be fighting dogs if he hadn't been caught. His remorse is only there so he can continue to pkay. I would be more impressed if he was banned from all pro sports and still decided to work for animal welfare afterwards. Just my pinion. Personally I will never forgive an animal abuser.
