[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even after a debt to society has been paid. There are certain crimes that shouldn't allow the criminal to participate in certain things. These dogs were as innocent as children. If he had done this to children and "paid his debt" to society. Would we allow him to work with children or praise him for talking on behalf of abused kids? Think about it. [/quote]
Good grief, he killed some dogs, not people. The top breeders of sporting and working dogs routinely cull their litters. 
Dogs are not people.[/quote]

Correct, and not a completely incorrect comparison; like them, Michael Vick is a dog breeder that tortures and kills animals.  Difference is, they weren't up for an award that explicitly is based on this requirement:

“Must be of good character and reputation/not have been a source of embarrassment to the university in any way.”

The "top breeders" aren't subject to this standard of measurement and aren't receiving an award from VT that is ultimately at the expense of the Virginia public.  Michael Vick is; he's a barbaric violent felon, from a family of felons, who has paid obviously fake lip service to being somehow "rehabilitated."  What VT has done here is astounding and wrong.  And also permanent.
