Michael Vick indicted
 
It seems that Michael Vick has been indicted by the Federal authorities for dog fighting. It is sickening to read what was done to these poor animals. I hope he rots somewhere for this.

This man has all the money he needs but some things never change and brothers and dog fighting go hand and hand. Left hander that plays for the dirty birds (Falcons) what could be more fitting ?

As an owner of Pitbull, I have a personal hatred for this activity. Unfortunately, this behavior has given the breed a bad reputation. But there are more and more breeders who are being picky about who they will sell to. I can also tell you that when I was looking for the dog I have presently, I saw some pretty bad conditions. These people are money-driven and care nothing about the welfare of the animals. Michael Vick will hopefully be made an example of, because this sort of thing must not be tolerated.

Welcome vixweb! Nice avatar!

I think the thing that is toughest to comprehend about this situation is the fact thay this guy does not need the money. He is literally in it for blood!
It sickens me to think of it. Glad you are a responsible pitbull owner vixweb!:clap:

When my dogs became parents, I was so picky about the homes I placed my grand puppies in. I had to know without a doubt that they were going to be well taken care of or they were not leaving this house. I think if you are going to let your dog breed then you should be responsible enough to ensure that the person receiving your pup is going to be responsible with the dog. Also, there should not be overbreeding of dogs so that we do not continue to end up with so many unwanted animals. People who abuse the animals and are irresponsible should be held accountable. The animals are like small children. They can not help themselves.

I like bull dogs and my neighbor as a kid had two pit bulls and they were fun loving dogs. Why someone would want to see them kill each other for fun or money is beyond my way of thinking. I have seen bull dogs used for strike dogs on feral livestock and even that is hard to watch. The Staffordshire Terror is a good looking dog.
Petie the warrior :eek:

Have you seen what the Senator from Virginia has had to say about this? I love it. He said he has seen one death penalty carried out and he could watch another and the Michael Vick case would be the one he could watch it carried out in!

I just don't see how any human can watch any animal suffer. I don't.

RICHMOND, Va. — One of Michael Vick's codefendants changed his plea to guilty Monday in a federal case involving an alleged dogfighting ring and agreed in open court to cooperate with proseutors.
Tony Taylor, 34, of Hampton, Va., who pleaded not guilty last week, entered his guilty plea before U.S. district judge Henry E. Holland.
The plot thickens uh.:D

Ol' Vick, keeps talkin' about how he's wanting to get back to football etc.. he needs to worry about how much time he's going to be spending in jail...

Just glad I ain't a Falcons fan.
