Vick Note After Dog Fighting Guilty Plea Goes For $10,200 On eBay
The Humane Society of the United States auctioned off on eBay a piece of paper with a handwritten list of talking points that Vick supposedly used during his apology after pleading guilty to a dog fighting conspiracy charge.
The starting bid was at $20, and this afternoon the auction has ended. The winning bid is $10,200. The organization said that all the proceeds would go to The Humane Society of the United States’ efforts to end dogfighting and other forms of animal cruelty by contributing to the Animal Cruelty Response and Reward Fund.
The Humane Society said that one of its videographers found the note when he was getting a microphone after the press conference at the Omni Hotel. The note was found near the podium where Vick gave his statement.
Vick’s attorneys said that Vick did not write the note. They declined to say if an attorney or an advisor wrote the note.

And I’m sure the HSUS will use every penny to benefit the Vick dog victims.
oh wait, HSUS says all the dogs should be KILLED. Because they are so morally superior to those scummy cruel dogfighters.

I wonder if the winning bidder did their homework about HSUS and truly wants their money to go to them. If so, that’s their prerogative. But if not, I truly wish they had donated that money to their local shelter or rescue organization. So much misplaced faith and money from an unaware public given to an organization that doesn’t deserve it.

The money will probably go to another billboard that doesn’t benefit the Vick dogs at all or a bonus to the person that found Vick’s scribbles!

THE Humane Society wrote the note… told his lawyers what they want him to say so they could back off… oh yeah, IN MY OPINION.

It is quite transparent that the 4 individuals who left their silly little rants have silly little minds. GO HSUS!

Oh come on.
Everyone knows that breeders hate HSUS because the HSUS wants to crack down on puppy mills.
And the AKC now makes a bunch of money from registering all those puppy mill puppies!
Just the same old junkerola from the breeders that don’t like anybody that wants to get some laws passed.

And as far as badrap goes, word is that they are a front for breeders
