Its truly ironic that Vick's recent warm-welcome back to the NFL is only followed by a case like this. Now I am sure that Vick's actions were far worse than poor Starr, but it does show that careless-ness and being preoccupied with your own human life can cause some problems for our 4-legged friends.A prosecutor said no charges are planned against the executive for an anti-animal cruelty group whose 16-year-old…
…blind and deaf dog died after accidentally being left in a hot car for four hours. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Tracy Thorne-Begland said Wednesday charges are not planned against Robin Starr, CEO of the Richmond Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Starr says she didn’t realize “Louie” was in the car until noon. Starr’s husband, Ed, told the Richmond Times-Dispatch he put the dog in her car’s cargo area as she got ready for work Aug. 19 but forgot to tell her. She often took the dog to work with her.Robin Starr took the dog to two clinics, but he died of kidney failure. The National Weather Service says the temperature had reached 91 degrees by noon that day. Starr has been a vocal critic of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick who was released from federal custody July 20 after serving 18 months of a 23-month sentence for his role in running a dogfighting ring. When Vick was reinstated to the NFL, Starr said “The action of the NFL commissioner to reinstate Michael Vick is both premature and unwise. Vick has not yet demonstrated that his remorse is sincere or that his irresponsible, cruel and criminal behaviors are likely to change. The NFL and its leadership apparently lack the integrity to require civilized behavior from their players. This would reflect poorly on any team that adds Vick to its roster.”
On another note, a lil doggy hurtin' aint really hurt Vick at all. Look at his reception back t othe NFL. Go #7 :-)

I feel bad for her loss as she had so much in the loss of a dog she loved... VIC only loves himself and the two stories have nothing to do with each other they are completely different... there was no intent or financial gain on her part! Fell bad for her loss and feel bad for the example Vic has shown to our youth that A. you can do do something so evil... and B. no biggie! you get out quick and get you big-time job back! Integrity not required for that job!
