Dear Friends,
Please e-mail the sponsors of the Michael Vick Reality Show and express your opposition to their financial support of the program. As a result of their advertising, Vick is profiting from a lucrative reality television contract. This show is beyond the pale of depravity and must be cancelled. Please also stop buying these companies’ products immediately and tell your friends and family to do the same. Of all the shows on television, these corporation$ made a deci$ion to $upport Michael Vick.

Nivea ended their commercial sponsorship of the show on 2/4/10 after being inundated with customer e-mails complaining about their support of the program! That’s one victory for the dogs!
If Vick hadn’t killed dogs, he would never have this show. He’s making money off his killing spree. He recently said the reason for the show is to clear his family name. He also said that he will not speak about dog fighting anymore after the show. When Vick said he was going to dedicate his life to speaking out against dog fighting, apparently he meant he would do it twice per month for a year until people forgot about it and it was safe for him to be rich and famous again and profit from his crimes. He did a masterful job of using the HSUS to help him re-enter society. He was never sincere. He still thinks he’s a victim as evidenced by his arrogant and callous remarks after being nominated for the Ed Block Courage Award:
“I’ve overcome a lot, more than probably one single individual can handle or bear,” Vick said. “You ask certain people to walk through my shoes, they probably couldn’t do. Probably 95 percent of the people in this world because nobody had to endure what I’ve been through, situations I’ve been put in…”
People say “everyone deserves a second chance…it’s time to move on” and “everyone makes mistakes”. Vick did not make a mistake; it was a conscious and calculated decision that he knew was wrong. He is diabolical, transparent, and evil. There is no cure for evil. He doesn’t deserve a second chance for his heinous and unspeakable crimes against animals. Those of us who speak for animals will not “move on” as Vick is emblematic of a larger problem in a society that shows disregard for the welfare of animals and believes lenient sentences and fines equate to justice. They do not.
If people want to idolize this sadistic killer, cheer for him from the stands and wear his jersey, they can do it. We draw the line with a reality show that allows him to profit from his felonies. Let us send a clear message — if you brutalize helpless animals, you will not be accepted back into society and return to fame and wealth without opposition. Our silence allows the opposite message to be sent. Complacency breeds acceptance. Acceptance leads to continued violence against animals. We do not have to accept things as they are and we will not. The First Amendment grants us the right to oppose and we will exercise that right. Hate mail from Vick supporters only inspires us to fight harder and speak louder.
Please help us send a message to the shameless sponsors of this show that we will boycott their products until they end their support of the program. You can click “Share” on this note and post it to your profile page to spread the word. Thank you.
On behalf of the dogs Michael Vick fought, kicked, shot, hanged, electrocuted, drowned, and tortured,
