(Newser) – PETA may protest if Michael Vick gets another job in the NFL without first undergoing a psychological evaluation, the animal-rights group’s DC office says. A spokesperson tells CBS affiliate WUSA-TV that a person who’s served time has the right to go free, but isn’t entitled to go straight back to making millions. Vick’s treatment of dogs was psychopathic, PETA claims.

Petty PETA. Vick paid for his crime. He has earned a second chance.

Glad I checked first. I was going to suggest the same thing. I volunteer in animal rescue and PETA is not about that at all.

I hope one day to be able to hold down a PETA member and shove raw chicken in their mouth.
