VICK

We hear that PETA is requesting that NFL star Michael Vick undergo mental tests before he can play NFL again. WTF? We hear that PETA sent a long letter to NFL commissioner, Roger Goodell, saying that Vick’s mental should be checked thoroughly before he can play again. As you may know, Michael Vick is serving a prison sentence for charges stemming from a dogfight gambling ring. “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.

According to EURWEB, PETA’s letter comes following 18-months of negotiations with Vick’s reps about an agreement for Vick to film an anti-dogfight advertisement after his release from prison. But a PETA statement said Vick’s attorneys sought an assurance that the group would support his return to the NFL.

PETA decided to withdraw the TV advertisement offer pending results of a brain scan and psychiatric evaluation on Michael Vick.

No offense to animal lovers, but don’t you think PETA is really taking this overboard? Leave us your thoughts.
