Personally, I think some people seem to forget that they are simply animals. Doesnt make it right or justify it, but some people place way too much value on animals. That may be the reason why a particular state has 4 times as many animal shelters as women's shelters. Vick financed the dog fighting. He watched dogs fight. Beyond that he has never admitted to or been convicted of actually harming dogs himself. So the calims that he needs to have done to him what he did to dogs are pointless because he didnt actually do anything to the dogs. As far as showing remorse goes, I think he's done that. He should get out of jail and play for any NFL team that wants him. (And there are some teams that could use him.) Hopefully he's been using his yard time wisely and stayed in shape.

I understand what you're saying, as far as an emotional response to what he did; at the end of the day, he's done his time and should be allowed to move on with his life, like anyone else.
But even looking at it from an unemotional, logical point of view, his financing of the dog fights was a big part of what allowed it to happen, at least on that large scale. Allowing the dog fights to happen is "actually harming" the dogs (unless you know of some types of dog fights where no dogs are harmed). I think it's hard to minimize his culpability in this.
