Michael Vick Dog Fights

Michael Vick, the quarterback for the Atlanta Hawks, went to court today for his dogfighting conspiracy charges. I guess the final court hearing won't happen until sometime in November. I just hope the judicial system puts this creep in his place. I also think the NFL should fire his ass!!! He doesn't deserve millions of dollars.....especially if this is the kind of thing he's doing with his money. He should have to pay it all back in donations to animal cruelty organizations!!!

Apparently, he has been part of a huge dogfighting ring for quite some time. The thought of fighting dogs for entertainment and/or money makes me sick to my stomach!!! I can't believe anyone could treat a living being like this. It's bad enough that he had 66 dogs in one house let alone the fact that he was fighting them. Those poor animals don't stand a chance when they're born into those situations. Sometimes the dogs will be killed before they ever even fight because they're "not living up to a good fighting dog's potential." And then, of course, when they do fight, most of the time it's until death. How cruel!!!!

This is a small piece of an article I read about the situation on MSN: According to the indictment filed July 17, dogs not killed in the fighting pit often were shot, hanged, drowned or, in one case, slammed to the ground. The document alleges that Vick was consulted before one losing dog was wet down and electrocuted.

That's just a small part of the details given.................

If that doesn't turn your stomach a little, then I worry for you. It makes me so mad to know these things go on. Stopping one fighting ring won't change the fact that it goes on. But, the fact that this is such a high profile case, it might make people think twice.....or I hope so anyway.

I would like to see how Michael Vick would like to be wetted down and electrocuted..................
