In the rescue world, feelings are obviously still running high over Michael Vick's return to the NFL.
With the Oakland Raiders scheduled to play Philadelphia on October 18th, Concerned Dog Owners of California has kicked off a potentially controversial campaign to help Oakland area shelters this weekend. According to the CDOC web site, the rescue group will give 5 bags of food to Oakland shelters for every time Vick is tackled during the game. CDOC is encouraging people to donate to the campaign, and says it will match the First $1500 pledged.

Do it! I couldn't believe it when Vick was accepted back in the NFL!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this organization before. I checked out their website and read "our goal is to be a voice for dogs in a climate where large and powerful organizations have a goal of eliminating domesticated dogs." The day we have a shortage of dogs is the day I welcome the breeders to bring more into this world. But I don't think I'll see that in my lifetime.
ReplyDeleteAt least they are supporting shelters with this Vick tackle challenge. It's kind of funny, so I say go for it.
I'm afraid it will help him look like a "victim" of "crazed unforgiving animal activists".
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to what people think about this. I thought I knew what was on the CDOC website but don't remember this quote. "our goal is to be a voice for dogs in a climate where large and powerful organizations have a goal of eliminating domesticated dogs." Could it have come from another site or a blog?
ReplyDeleteI think its a great way to use Vick and his status to bring the focas on the dogs that need it. Lets face it unfortunately Vick is going to play. USE HIM USE HIM USE HIM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent Idea! But hopefully he won't have the ball that much to even be tackled, I don't wanna see him being used that much, very ready for McNabb to be back in! Totally upset with BET and Viacom for giving him his own show!! ugh! yuck!
ReplyDeleteI would like to see him tackled and not walk off the field. I am sick that the NFl has let him come back and make 6 million dollars.
