Ex-NFL Star Helped Kill Canines, Report Says

November 24th, 2008

Ex-NFL star helped kill canines, report says. Imprisoned former Atlanta Falcons star Michael Vick helped drown dogs by forcing their heads into a five-gallon water bucket, a new report says. Though Vick first claimed that he never participated in the actual killing of animals connected with his illegal Bad Newz Kennels fighting ring, a U.S. Department of Agriculture statement says the ex-quarterback admitted hanging dogs that didn’t fight well and using family pets as bait for aggressive dogs. Vick is due in a Virginia court tomorrow where he’s expected to plead guilty to state charges of torturing animals and promoting dog-fighting. The former star is already serving federal time until summer of next year. Formerly the NFL’s highest-paid player, Vick reportedly washes pots and pans for 12 cents an hour.

I like pets but im not a die hard animal lover and this has just gone too far. Paris Hilton has over 10 dogs that are neglected but yet she walks around scotch free…interesting. Like someone mentioned before their only doing this because he’s Black, Paid & Positive. So they needed anything 2 pull him down. Im pretty sure Bill Gates is doing something illegal but that aint on the news

umlaw,

Grow up kid. How many white folks do you think lied to the public and the government and did stuff worst than vick and are still FREE? You need to get over your racist self. I saw a dog fight last week and that wasn’t the only one in the US and it won’t be the last one either. And it was on the white folks dime. Do you think everyone who leaves prison has truly learned from their mistakes? AND he ain’t the highest profile person to get involved in this, he’s the highest profilt person to get CAUGHT!

Wow! Let the man do his time and be done with it. He has been through enough already! And so what if he washes pots and makes 12 cents an hour, why should he sit in a cell and do nothing. God bless you Vick.

It’s a shame that the media and government are spending so much time trying to make Mike Vick look bad. The media needs to be reporting on real issues like the “forgotten war” over in Iraq and the government needs to be spending their time doing something constructive like……oh…..I don’t know. Oh yeah,

I’m sure glad that people like that chinese guy ain’t the judge and jury cause black people would never get out of jail and whites would never be charged cause he think we do all the crime. prison don’t rehab nobody so if you listen to him then mike vick won’t ever get out til he kisses somebodys ass.

I think what he did is stupid. why is it that sometimes when we get money we start thinking we’re above the law. Instead of bein a negative influence why not show children that you have money and common sense. I do think that all of this jail is ridiculous and there are bigger crimes being committed and that they try to through people in jail for little things which is why jails are over populated now. he could have easily had probation or paid some kind of fine, even having to voluteer at some type of animal shelter would have been enough. I just think we gotta learn how to start using our heads. Whether people want to believe it or not race is still an issue and there are still those people who dont like the fact that black people have money so if given the chance of course they’re gonna try and take that from us. We just gotta be smarter in our actions!

Okay, so what? Who cares? The brother has served his time.
- Barack Obama is now President-elect.
- The economy is in a shambles and people are losing their homes, jobs, and lives daily.
- Greedy CEO’s are having their companies bailed out as we speak. Only to spend the taxpayers (yours and mine) on their own bonuses while laying off others and increasing their interest rates and fees.
I see the news daily and those very same people that convicted Vick no longer have their jobs. Where is PETA now?
Let’s discuss the real issues that are going on today.



Esha Said on

ok enough is enough! leave him alone he is doing his time……if it were white person would there be so much trash talk….or course not when they cockfight is there any lip about it….after all they are animals too.



P.J. Said on

What Michael Vick did to those dogs was evil. People who commit murder often started by abusing animals. Jeffrey Dahmer is one example.
Being black has nothing to do with his sentence. I wish that a lot more low-lifes who abuse animals would get prison time and not enjoy the benefit of sympathy due to race.
Black, white, whatever… if you do the crime, I want to see you do time!



ELAINA Said on

NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG BUT DAMN HE IS BEING PUNISHED FOR IT SO STOP IT ALREADY. THIS MAN IS SERVING TIME, HE DON’T HAVE ANYMORE MONEY HE LOST EVERYTHING HE WORKED HARD FOR AND YET THEY STILL WANT TO BRING UP MORE STUFF. HELL LET’S JUST GO AHEAD AND CHARGE HIM FOR KILLING THEM FLIES BACK IN THE DAY AND DON’T FORGET THAT CRICKET HE STEPPED ON. COME ON YALL LEAVE THE MAN ALONE AND LET J.C HANDLE THIS. I LOVE YOU MR VICK AND KEEP YOUR HEAD UP MAN CAUSE YOU STILL GOT A LIFE TO LIVE.



ELAINA Said on

I CAN’T STAND BET. IF YOU SAY SOMETHING STUPID OR NEGITIVE THEY WILL POST YOUR COMMENT BUT IF YOU GOT SOMETHING GOOD AND POSITIVE THEY WONT POST IT. THAT’S A DAM SHAME.

Crimes are being committed in horse racing and the fur industry, yet those criminals are not being brought to justice. Horses are being killed and turned into dog food, while seals are being clubed and killed for their fur. What the hell is going on?
