Tackling Michael Vick Earns Dog Food Donation
Alright, it isn’t an offer for anyone to tackle Michael Vick, it’s a challenge to the Redskins.
The Main Line Animal Rescue, based out of D.C., put an ad in The Washington Post that some may consider a bit controversial. I, on the other hand, think it’s the first sensible news having to do with Michael Vick that I’ve seen in a while.
The company pledged to donate five bags of dog food to local D.C. shelters every time the Redskins tackle Michael Vick when they play the Eagles on October 26th. According to Fox Sports,the founder and CEO of the shelter Bill Smith is skeptical of Vick’s newfound concern for dogs.
I think we’re all getting tired of the ‘Does he deserve a second chance?’ kind of thing,” Bill Smith told the Philadelphia Inquirer. “I think we just need to raise public awareness, and this is a good way to do that. It may be funny. It may be clever. It may not.”
The ad encourages people to volunteer at a shelter on game day. Volunteering at a shelter any time is a good idea, you don’t need to wait for a special occasion.

LOVE IT!!!!!
Go Skins!!!
I hope they give Mr. Vick an exciting game and a LOT of bruises!!!!!
GREAT idea!!
This is one game I may watch that Vick plays in….just so I can see him get his block knocked off!! GO REDSKINS!!!!!!
Personally I hope he gets tackled so hard that he sustains a career ending injury.
Great idea! Let’s see how many slams to the ground HE can take!
The Eagles are playing the Panthers this weekend, and Vick will be allowed to be there, but not play. I hope that there are lots of crowds outside protesting and booing, and that the morons who still go to the game will also boo him on sight!
I hope the Redskins knock him out of his shoes every tackle!!

No, I never get tired of doing the right thing. I will not watch NFL football and I have ceased to spend my hard-earned dollars on products whose companies align themselves with the Eagles.
I don’t care if Vick is sorry (that he got caught) I don’t care if people think he deserves a second chance. I don’t care about Michael Vick. He’s fly poop in my opinion.
What I do care about is the treatment of animals and the message we send to young people when we turn a blind eye to cruel acts. I do care if we allow young people to see Vick as a hero or role model.
Oh yeah! I’m not a football fan but go Redskins!
I kinda like the idea. Go you Redskins!!! This game has gone to the dogs but for a good cause!
This is great! If all of us could donate to our local shelters when he plays one of our teams, imagine how much help they could receive!
