Michael Vick given Ed Block Courage Award for being a Coward...

This is a letter written in response to Michael Vick being awarded the Ed Block Award for Courage by his Philadelphia Eagle team mates...

To Whom it May Concern:
My husband, Richard Pryor, and I established Pryor's Planet shortly before his death for the prevention, rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of abused and homeless dogs. Naturally, when Michael Vick was arrested for his heinous crimes against the dogs he was fighting, Pryor's Planet did all that we could do to advocate that Michael Vick be the "MASCOT" of abuse and torture for Pit Bulls and Pit Bull Fighting and to see he did the appropriate time for his crimes. We have worked hard to educate as well as care for the victims of Pit Bull fighting! A much misunderstood breed!

We were outraged that Vick actually only did time for racketeering and not the crimes committed against the dogs he so cruelly murdered; among the techniques he used:

Hanging
Drowning
Fighting
Electrocution
Forced Box Breeding

You can only imagine the magnitude of our outrage at Vick receiving an award for COURAGE?!

Did it take courage to murder these animals?

Did it take courage to hang, drown, fight and electrocute dogs?

I thought it simply took a depraved and evil, criminal mentality and psyche to do so!

We understand you are pandering to the NFL as you set a horrible example and we intend on exposing this pathetic attempt at whitewashing Vick's crimes! You continue to damage the NFL by choosing this deranged individual who never paid for his crimes against the dogs he murdered!

  1. Because Vick never stood in a courtroom on trial for animal cruelty, the general public, his supporters and his excusers have been able to ignore what he had done to those innocent dogs. I, for one, can not get the image out of my head of an under-performing dog having jumper cables attached to him/her then attached to a car battery and then thrown into swimming pool. Imagine the look on that poor dog's face: the eyes wide open with fear, the blood pouring from it's nose, mouth and ears, the bloody paws from their desperate attempts to escape...imagine the smell. Imagine the sound of the dog screaming in pain while thrashing about trying to get out of the water, scratching the sides of the pool and biting the aluminum on the edge, frantically trying to save itself and then imagine the sudden silence. How long did it take before the suffering ended? Vick did all this and more...he even threw his "family" pets into the ring with the fighters and watched them get mauled.

    Vick has never paid for this abuse and he has NEVER apologized for it.

  2. Good Lord! Someone that depraved doesn't change that quickly, if at all, especially if they've not truly suffered any real punishment for the crime. I will always be horrified by this story. Each time I read about it, I'm affected as if it were the first time I heard about it. I'd bet money that Vick is involved in dog fighting as we speak.
