Following tens of thousands of e-mails to Nike, as well as PETA protests outside <span>Niketown stores calling on the company to cut ties with Michael Vick in light of horrific allegations of his involvement with dogfighting rings, Nike has released the following statement:
"Nike has suspended Michael Vick's contract without pay, and will not sell any more Michael Vick product at Nike-owned retail at this time."
Thanks to all of you for writing to the company about this issue—this couldn't have happened without your support.
Reebok has also made the decision to stop sales of Michael Vick apparel, stating:
"While we respect the legal process we find the allegations against Mr. Vick too disturbing to ignore, therefore, we have decided to immediately suspend selling Vick NFL product, both at retail and online through the Reebok website."
This is great news for anyone who is concerned about cruelty to animals. But we still need your help! Please <span>click here to ask the NFL to follow Nike’s lead and suspend Michael Vick immediately.
anastasia: All the millions of dollars that man has made, all that talent he has.......and THIS is what he does with it (and his time).......Vick NEEDS to be severly punished for this, WAY too many people accept this as a "sport" and need to realize what it REALLY is - nothing but animal cruelty at it's worst
heavenlyemma: They need to hit him BIG in the wallet, or give him incredible amounts of Humane Society Community Work.....I volunteered at an animal shelter in my neighborhood years ago & it changed me for life. After REALLY seeing just how many "pets" they put down every day of the year, I will NEVER, EVER have a pet that is anything but a mutt, or unwanted, or abandoned in my lifetime again - until people stop seeing pets as "owned" and/or "disposable", things can't change.....When a "shelter" doggie, kitty, ferrett, bunny, snake, whatever, comes home with you, you have just saved a life & even if they can't say how much it means to them to be rescued, somebody upstairs is smiling down on you *My pitch for Animal Rescue Shelters everywhere - Bless Them For All They Do*
srnity: I bought my dog from a dog shelter (not sammy) it was a small shelter and all they wanted from you was a small donation to have a dog so my dad gave them a big donation, the people who run it was a really nice couple.
heavenlyemma: I'm on my third shelter dog (and I'm her thirteenth home, how crazy is THAT?!), I've had three shelter bunnies at different times, two shelter snakes, and an incredibly beautiful and loving shelter ferrett ... I almost took home a fox once, too, but was afraid of him, so I chickened out Wish people would stop wanting puppies and kittens and go get those sitting in a cage just waiting for someone to love them
srnity: Thats wonderful that you get your animals from the shelter!! I wanted one from the shelter (have had several and they are WONDERFUL dogs!!) but the kennal master where we got Damien from talked my husband out of it...(we were GOING to get Damien,no question about that..but we were also going to get a second dog around the same time..and I wanted a shelter dog) GRRR! I do not regret Damien in anyway shape or form BUT I really would have like to have given him a lil sissy from the shelter.I am glad their are people out there that will!! Damien's new lil sister is also not a shelter dog BUT I know that we will give her a wonderful home with lots of love and excercise and training (and dog cookies,LOL!!!)
