‘We don’t care about the dog’

At the end of the day, haven’t we all known that this is how Michael Vick really feels about the victims of his dog fighting ring? He cares about his career, his reputation, and, above all, his paycheck – but the dogs? I will never believe he cares about the dogs, or that he feels one ounce of remorse for what he did to them.

His bodyguard’s words sum it all up – ‘We don’t care about the dog’.

This was said after Richard Hunter, a Dallas Radio personality, confronted Vick and his entourage after a ceremony during which Vick was awarded the keys to the city of Dallas. Richard Hunter and his wife adopted Mel, one of the dogs rescued from Michael Vick’s dog fighting operation. Hunter was attempting to give Vick, who has stated he “often thinks about the dogs”, a chance to put his money where his mouth is.

Hunter’s video shows the confrontation, and the aftermath. You and your ‘posse’ might not care about the dogs, Vick, but the rest of us still do, and for us, all of the keys in the world won’t change the fact that you’re a dog murdering psychopath.
