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).
Thank God for PETA. If not for them, the HSUS, ASPCA, IFAW, etc. would have NONE of their current clout, and they all know it. Keep up the good fight, PETA.
And by the way, Im pasting this to every site that I can think of, that will allow me to.
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!!!!
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.
“They are very athletic to me” lol. I’m really kinda surprised peta put the results of his test online. That doesn’t sound very in tune with their mission.
