Well, at least it fits, right?

Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I've been rather busy with keeping the kennel running, my relationship working and getting my dogs through their CGC.


Michael Vick is going to be PeTA's spokesperson. No, this is not a sick joke. Why would it be? PeTA kills over 2000 animals yearly, Michael Vick is the perfect person to represent them! I don't know how well Vick liking pit bulls will roll over with PeTA, but we'll just see how that goes. Here's the actual story:

NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Michael Vick is in talks to become the new spokesman for PETA.
Yes, you read that correctly. The disgraced one-time NFL superstar serving prison time for funding an illegal dog-fighting ring is primed to do public-service ads for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals upon his release later this month. According to three people with knowledge of the matter, the proposed endorsement is part of a comprehensive PR scheme aimed at rehabilitating the quarterback's image and gaining him readmission to the league that banned him from playing.

"I'm familiar with [the plan]," said Dan Shannon, director of youth outreach and campaigns for PETA. "We have been in discussions with Michael Vick, with his management team, about the possibility of him putting out a public-service announcement with PETA when he's out of jail. We want him to discourage people from taking part in dog-fighting. I can do it until I'm blue in the face and it might not convince anybody. Michael Vick sure can. He can say, 'Look, I did it, I was wrong, and it ruined my career.'"

Of course, PeTA actually turned him down. Apparently Vick just didn't kill enough dogs for their taste.
