Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick will be in New Haven on Tuesday, November 23, at Hillhouse and Wilbur Cross high schools to talk about animal cruelty. Abbe Smith of the New Haven Register has the story:
Vick is making the rounds at schools across the country as part of his rehabilitation after serving 18 months in federal prison for running a dogfighting ring…
He will be joined by Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, on the visits to Hillhouse at 10:30 a.m. and Cross at noon.
The pair will talk to kids about the cruelty of dogfighting and other forms of animal exploitation and about the responsibilities associated with taking care of animals.

Vick’s virtuoso performance this season has thrust him back into the public spotlight, both for his play and his role in a dogfighting ring that landed him in prison for 18 months. For Connecticut Sports Law’s coverage of Vick’s legal issues, see the following article:
