People mailing their Vick jerseys to Altanta Humane Society

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Humane Society said they are receiving donations from across the country -- and you’ll never guess what people are sending.

More than a dozen Michael Vick jerseys have been sent to AHS, and they are putting them to good use.

“When I first saw them, I was kind of shocked. I was like, ‘Why do they have Vick jerseys here,’ said Julie Sentner.

“We’re not showing any favoritism to these jerseys, they go into our general rotation of towels,” Smith said.

4. me too
but I think that dog-fighting is part of that 'tough guy' lifestyle. The dogs that attacked and killed Diane Whipple were raised by prison thugs...the presas those attornies were holding for them in that apartment, that was the brainchild of two guys in prison.

5. I love recycling like this.
One person's trash (Vick jersey) is another's treasure (soft animal bedding).

I'd love to see the manufacturing company (Reebok?) donate their entire inventory.

7. Yes, Nike = shoes, Reebok = jerseys.
At least for miscreant Vick.

9. The way NFL has their contracts worked out the player has to wear Reebok unless
it's shoes and the outside show entity has paid a lofty sum to both the NFL and the player in question. Sometimes teams act out in total defiance of these regulations the most famous of which in the 1990's was when the Dallas Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones defied league bylaws that said all uniforms must be made by starter and had his uni's produced by Nike instead and all team apperal to be produced by Nike as well.

11. great idea
i worked in a shelter and bedding is always running out. that would be a great idea, since it's unlikely they will be selling too many any time soon. It's a write-off so what do they care.

17. Kitten Pooh
I would love one of Vick's jerseys to help clean up kitten pooh as my young kittens learn how to use the litter box.

If you have one to spare (a legitimate Vick jersey), please contact me!

When I finish with it I will donate it to a local Humane Society live auction.
