Vick has paid his debt to society after serving a 18 month federal prison sentence stemming from his involvement in a dog fighting ring. He’s? successfully resumed his football career but since adding a new pet to his family, there are some idiots out there who feel the need to threaten his life.

Dayum…. let the man live! 😯

Details below…

Vick was set to sign copies of his new book, ?Michael Vick: Finally Free? at Barnes and Noble locations in Atlanta, New Jersey and Pennsylvania but the retail bookseller has released a statement announcing that all signings have been cancelled due to safety concerns.

?While we stand by Michael Vick?s right to free speech and the retailers? right to free commerce, we cannot knowingly put anyone in harm?s way, and therefore we must announce the cancellation of Mr. Vick?s book-signing appearances,? said Byron Williamson, president of Worthy Publishing.

?We?ve been assured these threats of violence, which have been reported to the police, are being taken very seriously by local authorities.?

The Atlanta appearance was scheduled for this Saturday, March 16th.

The threats have been reported to police and despite the negativity energy surrounding the incidents, Vick’s fans are still supportive and cheering him on.

On a happier note, Mike’s book is still available for purchase and he & his lovely wife Kijafa (who married July 2012) still appear happy and in love!

It’s sad that there are still disgruntled ‘animal lovers’ out spewing death threats. It seems a dog’s life is worth more than a man’s in some people’s eyes.

Keep ya head up Mike!
