Atlanta Falcons Michael Vick Facing Dogfighting Charges
Wednesday July 18, 2007
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted today on federal charges regarding illegal competitive dogfighting, according to The Washington Post. Cops searched Michael's property in Virginia and found 54 pit bulls that were allegedly being tortured and trained to fight other animals. Sadly, they also came upon graves of many pitt bulls who were said to be killed off for failing to win dogfighting competitions. According to the indictment, the quarterback and his buddies may have been taking part in these horrific acts since as early as 2001. Unfortunately, these celebrity sports scandals just keep getting crazier every time.

This is a sickening charge. What kind of person would allow or condone this type of treatment of any animal. I think that serial murderers start out by killing animal like this.
So this is how an overpaid, pampered athlete spends his spare time.
Scratch one career.
If there is any justice.
Someone obviously has too much time on their hands in the off season, and to spend it allegedly abusing animals? This is shameful behavior that should be severely prosecuted!
doooh!
what were you thinking michael??
In the Doghouse now, goin to the Bighouse soon.
Ok people I watch the news everyday. we got Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan out ther drunk and using drugs. Politicians out there stealing money and Lord knows what else and they don’t even see the inside of a cell. So get off Vick’s back there are far worse things going on in the world.
