Dear Warren,

NFL quarterback Michael Vick of the Atlanta Falcons was recently indicted on charges of

sponsoring a large dogfighting operation. The indictment alleges

that dogs were housed, trained, and fought at a property owned

by Vick and that dogs who did not perform well were executed by

hanging, drowning, and, in at least one case, slamming their

bodies to the ground. PETA will be at Niketown in San Francisco

on Monday, July 30, to demand that the company immediately break

all ties with Michael Vick.

Please join In Defense of Animals for a demonstration

outside Niketown in San Francisco. All materials will be

provided, and we need activists to hold posters. Please contact

Melissa at melissa

or 415-388-9641 ext. 228 if you can help or if you have any

questions.

What: "Nike: Sack Vick" dogfighting

protestWhen: Monday, July 30, 12:00 noon to

1:00pmWhere: Niketown, at the corner of Post St.

and Stockton St. in San Francisco.

The professional sports world is plagued with players who

have been accused, charged, or convicted of cruelty to animals,

abusing pit bulls, and dogfighting. We need to send a clear

message to players and Nike that being a celebrity is not a

sufficient excuse for breaking the law and that animal abuse

should never be tolerated under any circumstances. Please

forward this e-mail to everyone you know!

Be sure to tell people to visit PETA.org to learn more about the

cruelty of dogfighting and to tell Nike to drop Vick now!

Thank you for everything you do for animals!

Sincerely,

Lindsey Twombly, Outreach Programs SupervisorPeople for
