Many friends of us participated to The Human Society of the United States campaign and other initiatives in order to persuade Nike’s CEO to drop Michael Vick, the Atlanta Falcons star, after his passion for dogfighting became public. We would like to thank you all of you!

Recognizing that social responsibility and conscience come before profits, Nike announced on Friday evening that the company dropped accused dogfighter Michael Vick. Their statement said in part, “Nike has suspended Michael Vick’s contract without pay, and will not sell any more Michael Vick product at Nike owned retail at this time.”
