Did Michael Vick sexually assault dogs?
Animal rights group makes accusation against NFL star.
An animal treatment activist group is requesting that Michael Vick undergo a full scale mental evaluation before he can be reinstated following his conviction on dog fighting charges.
Apparently People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) sent a letter to the NFL commissioner saying Vick should be checked to see if he is a psychopath before having any chance of a return to football.
The letter reportedly quotes psychological studies which show distinct correlations between individuals who abuse dogs and individuals who sexually assault animals as well. Said one PETA member, “What he did may only be the tip of the iceberg…this behavior could be much deeper than a lot of people initially expected”.
Vick is serving a prison sentence on conspiracy charges in connection with his bankrolling of a dogfight gambling ring. Evidence in the case showed he killed dogs in such brutal manners as drowning, beating and electrocution.
“Saying sorry and getting his ball back after being caught enjoying killing dogs in hideously cruel ways for many years doesn’t cut it,” PETA president Ingrid Newkirk said.

On January 27, 2009 at 8:43 amCome on stop f@#king playing. I am from the same hood as Vick( it offends me) & for them to make such a accusation as that is just ridiculous. This comes from people who value animals more than human, so who needs the counseling. This man is paying his debt to society & they still throwing salt on the wound, dirt on his name, that is not necessary. One thing that is true is they know a star when they see one. Watch Vick shine through all this… Hi Haters

On January 29, 2009 at 10:42 amThis is crazy! I believe Michael Vick has admitted his guilt, he is paying his debt to society…let it go! The sick thing about it is most of the people that are so passionate about animals don’t care about killing babies or child abuse. They care more about animals than people. They really need to get a life! I bet they fight for the enviroment as well. Kill or abuse a child but you better not cut down a tree!…lol
