Why were so few people allowed to attend the first Vick appearance in Atlanta?
The goal of the End Dogfighting program is not to reach the general public or the media, but to engage young people at risk of involvement in dogfighting. These are not events for Vick to bare his soul to people already committed to ending dogfighting, but occasions to talk with young people who may not have thought about the moral and legal elements of dogfighting and turn them into advocates for our position. We expect to expand the audience size greatly at many future events, but these events are not for football fans, curiosity seekers, or paparazzi.
