Michael Vick Scores 73.5% on PETA’s Animal Empathy Test
At first, when PETA offered Michael Vick a chance to star in a PSA against dog fighting, he jumped at the opportunity, probably hoping it would help clear his name.
But now, PETA is having second thoughts — saying they want him to take psychological tests and receive an MRI to show he’s physically capable of having compassion for animals — party because of Vick’s performance in a handwritten test on animal empathy. Of course, they’ve kindly released his answers to the public.

Some are downright hilarious (“Chickens have an uncanny ability to think and are very agile. They are very athletic to me.”) while others actually make me feel bad for the guy (“Practice what you preech + don’t condone in hyp.”).

Based on the test alone, it’s unclear whether Vick actually is “reformed,” so I don’t blame PETA for holding off on the PSA deal. His answers sound much like a 6th grade student rephrasing sentences from a text book for a take-home essay. He’s just saying what they wanted to hear.
Vick already has a universal bad rap — dog fighting isn’t a controversial topic, it’s already been decided to be unethical by the vast majority of society. There’s really no reason for PETA to even try to help him as he’s the only one who would benefit from this situation.
What do you think? Should PETA even bother fighting this battle? Check out the rest of the test here (pdf).
This “test” is irrelevant and rediculous. It is possible under the circumstances Mike is just trying to do what he can to get his life restarted. He should be given a chance to care for animals hands on with someone who has a clue and is willing to help him suceed. My daughter works with guide dogs for the blind. Awesome program. We are from Hampton Roads (Living in Nevada). I am a former college coach and scouted Mike in high school. My daughter practly owns a zoo at my house. Her second guide dog puppy was attacked by a pitbull. It sucked, But Michael is a person and we would love to show him the love of Christ. With patience he can be successfully redeemed. But, it took time to degererate into the type of person who could allow this type behavior and it will take time to heal. God bless you Michael don’t let the haters get you down. my email is cornerstonemusicnv@yahoo.com if you really want help don’t hesitate.
THis guy is sickening. This is somebody who throughly enjoys and gets off on animal suffering. He has no compassion gene. He will NEVER change. He has absolutely no value to society. And FYI “Tim”, If your so compassionate about starving children, give to starving children in Oaklahoma and Kentucky. They would love to have your dollars.
Gee, I wonder what PETA thinks about guys going into the forest with high powered rifles, hiding in bushes, and KILLING innocent Bears, Deer, and Mountain Lions. Gee, I wonder why PETA isnt going after those guys…. Hmmm let me think, they are’nt famous millionaires that could give PETA the spotlight and the same publicity as Michael Vick. Just think about it, do you know how many cases of some sort animal abuse go on everyday, from hunting, to food, to clothes, belts, shoes, old women with 40 malnourished cats in the house. I mean I can go on forever. Im just trying to figure out why they have dug in with the Michael Vick case….Like I said ,(Famous Millionaire). Why are’nt they going after Jarred Allen of the Vikings, he’s a Bear KILLER. He Kills Bears in the forest. He could see a Mother Bear walking with her 4 Baby Cubs. And shoot and KILL the Mother in front of her 4 Baby Cubs… And you know what he does next??? He stands over the bear and takes a picture with the dead animal…Now if thats not gruesome, I dont know what is. But Jarred Allen isnt as famous as Michael Vick, so I guess PETA will stick to where they can continue to get wide spread coverage…..SUCH HYPOCRITES!!!!
I or my 4 member family will never support,watch or comment on a Philidelpia Eagle fotball game or any advertisments associated with the team. Michael Vic, is not human and deserves nothing.

And by the way, Im pasting this to every site that I can think of, that will allow me to.
I be a college gradwit
He should have the teeth beaten out of his head, just the way he did to so many dogs. Let him get a job driving a bus, that’s all this idiot is qualified for…IF that…judging from his grasp on the English language, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed. No WAY he should be a pro football player, and the 20% of the NFL that are convicted criminals should not be playing either.
He DEFINITELY needs a psychiatric evaluation, he’s got psychotic tendencies.
Saints fan - Is it illegal to kill bears where he was killing them? If not, you’re the hypocrite.
animalshavefeelings:::: Are you PETA people really that stupid??? Is that the best come-back argument that you can use, that bear hunting is legal??? I thought PETA was about moral aspects not whats legal.. I remember when it was legal to own slaves. Was that right?? I remember it was legal to stop women from voting. Was that right??? In some places its legal for a 40 year old man to marry a 8 year old girl. Is that right??? No!!!! I did’nt think so!!! And I also see a Buffoon stating that Vick is not human for what he did, one question is Jarred Allen human??? He does the samething to Bears. I think both are wrong, I dont pick and choose like PETA, who should pay. Oh what are you going to say, Bear hunting is legal, I think I just squashed that statement from ever coming out of someones mouth again. And Ernest, do you think the Multi-Billion Dollar NFL cares that you and 4 family members dont watch?? LOL!!! The NFL is bigger than you and your 4 family members, just incase you did’nt know that. Oh yeah about the felons in the NFL, we should add QuaterBack Ben Rothelisberger to that list, since he’s being accused of RAPE…Like I said, PETA picks and chooses who they go after, and I also did’nt know that PETA turned they’re cheek to animal abuse or animal killings that are under the law, legal. I always thought PETA was more about morals and whats right, then whats allowed under the law…Everyday I learn something new about PETA….What a joke, and a bunch of HYPOCRITES.
