Michael Vick and forgiveness

Some of you might've heard that Vick signed with the Eagles this week. Most of you know that Vick went to prison for about two years for his role in a dog-fighting operation. Not only did he fight the dogs, but he tortured and killed the ones that were underperforming. Just thinking about his actions makes me sick to my stomach and pretty goddamn angry. However, what about forgiveness? Should we forgive him if he is truly sorry? How do we know? Maybe he's just sorry that he got caught, went to prison and had to declare bankruptcy.

Nothing we do to Vick can bring those dogs back so how do you truly punish someone? Should we torture and kill him as well? Wouldn't that make us as bad as him?
