I just found out about THIS via a Facebook status update for Dallas, TX and I have to say that I instantly became infuriated by what I read. It would seem that on Saturday February 6th, 2011 Mayor Pro Tem, Dwaine Caraway, presented convicted felon Michael Vick with a key to the city of Dallas. If you've seen my blog before or if you follow me on Facebook then you know that I am an animal lover and that I currently live with 4 dogs that I love like they were my children. That being said, it makes me so angry to think that Michael Vick is receiving accolades of any kind given his history of abusing dogs.
There was a journalist in attendance during the ceremony to present Michael Vick with a key to the city of Dallas that had actually adopted one of the dogs rescued from Michael Vick's dog fighting ring. He made a video of his experience trying to approach Vick about his dog fighting past. I found this video very informative with regards to showing that Vick hasn't changed at all despite all the interviews he's done to the contrary.
The one thing that really jumped out at me about this whole situation is that Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway stated that "a great majority" of people would have supported his decision to give Vick the key to the city. I find it hard to believe that "a great majority" of people support dog fighting.
Please watch the video below and then feel free to contact Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway on his Facebook page or via the City of Dallas website to let him know how you feel about his actions this past weekend.
