An animal rights group in the San Francisco Bay area plans to protest against Michael Vick before his game against the Okland Raiders on Sunday.  The group called In Defense of Animals says it will demonstrate outside the Oakland Colesium before Vick plays in his first road game with the Philadelphia Eagles since being reinstated to the NFL.  Vick spent 18-months in federal prison on dog-fighting charges and the groups says Vick has not shown proper remorse. The orgainzation also wrote a letter to the NFL commissioner asking that dogfight and cockfighting be included in the criminal offense section of the NFL's Personal Conduct Policy.
