But Vick wants to re-enter professional sports where he would be visible to kids who would be getting the message that what he did really is just a that bad because you can come back and pick right up where you left off.

Hopefully, part of that message would be that if you do something illegal, you will most certainly go to prison, even if you are a famous person.

Vick's actions dramatically raised the profile of animal cruelty as an issue and ironically saved more dogs than any advertising campaign the people protesting now could have managed. Keeping him in the public eye after he served his sentence is the best way to keep awareness high.
