These dogs should be able to live out all of their natural lives at the expense of Michael Vick. It is heartwarming to see them receive loving care and respond. What wonderful animals. As far as release in the general populace, I don't know. I wouldn't want to take a chance with my small terrier around them. However, putting them down is unnecessary and cruel. As long as there are people willing to love them, let them live. I saw a television show about the dogs. It was sad to see all the scars. Again, make Michael Vick pay and pay and pay. What a creep.
