Ban Michael Vick Book Signing, BSL – update

by on Mar. 07, 2013, under Animal Cruelty, Animal Events

Update: Michael Vick’s book signings have been cancelled!  His name has been removed from the authors under “V” – Power to the animal loving consumers.

Tell Barnes & Noble — No book signing!

From the BSL News Blog (breed specific legislation)

“To Barnes & Noble Decision Makers,

Either you forgot or you just don’t care that Michael Vick murdered countless innocent dogs. Maybe you feel that dogs don’t count. I, along with many other animal rights activists and advocates are here to tell you that they do. If Barnes & Noble wouldn’t have books signings for a serial killer whose victims were human, then you shouldn’t have book signings for one whose victims were animals.

Michael Vick fought dogs for sport, and when his players (dogs) didn’t win him money he hung, drowned, electrocuted or shot them. He tied innocent dogs to rape stands for the brutal practice of mating. Not to mention the beatings and the syringes full of drugs forcibly injected into the dogs. It was hell on earth for the dogs at Bad Newz Kennels who had no say in their actions.

Even though some of the dogs made it out alive, many of those dogs continue to suffer to this day. Yes, Michael Vick spent time behind bars. But his minute prison stint is a joke in comparison to his heinous crimes. He should not continue to be celebrated, idolized and rewarded for his bad behavior by making millions in blood money.

Whether for business or leisure I will never buy anything from Barnes & Noble again. Shame on you for contributing to Sick Vick’s success.”

Book signings are in GA, NJ, and PA.

    His apology was only because he was caught. Anyone who would be capable of such atrocities would probably repeat his crimes if he could get away with it. I think it’s a disgrace that he was even permitted to publish a book to make money.The whole thing is just sickening.

    I have also stopped supporting the Humane Society of the US since Wayne Pacelle allowed that POS Vick to adopt a dog.
