The difference is that a pedophile is usually mentally ill to some degree and some of them can't be controlled unless chemically castrating them. Comparing Michael Vick to someone who may always have to propensity to rape a child is NOT logical.

I don't think Michael Vick is allowed to own dogs, just as a registered sex offender has to live x-amount of miles away from a school, playground, etc. A pedophile can get rehired too but regardless if any athlete did THAT it would still be viewed completely and totally differently considering a child is HUMAN and not a dog. I work at a vets office I love animals but if you told me I had to pick between my dog and my niece? There's no comparison.
