Vick Might Team Up With Humane Society on Anti-Dog-Fighting Campaign

Michael Vick, the suspended NFL star released from federal prison yesterday after serving 19 months for dog fighting, says he wants to work with the Humane Society of the United States to help eradicate the practice among urban teenagers, the Associated Press reports.

The society’s president, Wayne Pacelle, met with the ex-Atlanta Falcons quarterback Tuesday, Mr. Vick’s final full day at the U.S. penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan. Mr. Vick returns today to his home in Hampton, Va., where he will serve two months of home detention before his scheduled release in July.

Mr. Pacelle discussed the possibility of the nonprofit group enlisting Mr. Vick to campaign against dog fighting in an interview with National Public Radio.
