Gold Member Username: JkidderIA, DP RD Post Number: 1676 Registered: Nov-05 | where di u hear he hung and drowned the dogs? and was that just after they fought and were too wounded to live further? cuz theres thousands of ppl that take their dogs and cats out back and shoot them then bury them. the way you go about murdering your animals should not have any reflection on jailtime. so all these ppl (including me, my neighbor, my father, and several others i know) should all be in prison. now if he did it for pleasure it's a different story but thousands of ppl put their own animals down. plus i've been to a dog fight in the hood. they dont just throw them in a ring and fight to the death. those ppl have cared and nurtured their pits since they were born so it's so emotional when one is killed or fatally wounded. no1 knows the whole scenario. so unless he did it for fun and was laughing while holding a dog upside down in his swimming ppool i dont agree with the charges. with that said, i';m buying my pit soon |

Silver Member Username: Riebread77Post Number: 731 Registered: Jun-05 | he should get 18-36 months, not 12-18...and be expelled from the NFL. He's cocky mother F'er that needs to be put in his place. I hope the judge gives him the max because he took advantage of the money he priveledged with and used it for the wrong reasons. JK, also, its not about whether he enjoyed killing pits or not. It's about the fact that he did. When they were too wounded to fight anymore, he disposed of them. That's sick. If this were about humans, he'd get life in prison. I glad he lost his endorsement deals at least. |

Gold Member Username: PitbullguyAscendant Audio Arsenals, Chicago Ima graffiti... Post Number: 1730 Registered: Oct-06 | ["yall gotta realize where micheal vick grew up man"] sure that may explain it, but doesn't excuse it. There are places in this world where it's more common to beat your wife, or r.ape young girls, doesn't make it any less wrong. ["where did u hear he hung and drowned the dogs?"] It's in the statements made by vick's two buddies for their plea agreement. ["and was that just after they fought and were too wounded to live further?"] It was after they had lost fights, and were therefore not of any value to them anymore, because they have ZERO love/respect/care for their dogs. ["those ppl have cared and nurtured their pits since they were born so it's so emotional when one is killed or fatally wounded."] dude i don't wanna turn this into a hostile argument, but you're EXTREMELY mistaken. People who fight dogs do not "care and nurture" their dogs growing up. They train them and basically brainwash them to be extremely aggressive and think they have to fight for their lives. IT IS NOT NATURAL AND IT IS NOT RIGHT!!! When these sick fu<ks say they love their dogs it's no different than the guy who beats the sh!t out of his wife and claims he loves her. They are fu<king shallow as hell and have no idea wtf love is. ["wheres proof that he had 50 pit bulls buried in his backyard?"] I don't know who said it was 50, and i don't remember what the actual number was. But yes it is a fact that when his house was raided they found dozens upon dozens of dead dogs/corpses as well as dogs still living that were severely malnurished and injured. {"theres 11 animals in my yard. throw me in jail."] What you killed them for the fu<k of it? Or they were old and you put them out of their misery, either way i dont agree with what you did. But their is a huge difference between putting down an old animal who is in his last days anyway experiencing pain, and killing a dog because it's injured, after you forced it to fight in the first place. There is also more humane ways to do it. Have the dog humanely euthanized, you can say goodbye for the last time as the dog is put to sleep painlessly. Hanging and drowning are brutal, painful, horrific ways of killing a living creature. For every pit bull that is in the ring fighting there are hundreds around the country that were raised with love and care just like other breeds, had normal social experiences with dogs and people growing up and they are loving and friendly. JK you killed your dog cause it ate through your wall? Are you fu<king kidding me? you should not have any pets ever, or children for that matter. Just like the people who fight dogs you have a fu<ked up concept of what love is. |

Boxing can help in disipline, and self defense. I wouldnt be raising him to be a straight killer. Your arguments have no bearing. Educate yourself on the "sport" of dog fighting. They are raised to be straight ruthless, nothing less. |

Post Number: 1732 Registered: Oct-06 | ["are you black? did u grow up around hood fights? dogfights? or are you white and grow up around golf and 2 story houses?"]  Whether i'm black, white or purple has nothing to do with what we're talking about. The VAST majority of the people of Atlanta (since your concerned about where he grew up), and the whole country for that matter, regardless of race or social class have responded loud and clear that they are disgusted by Mike Vick's actions. They are writing letters, speaking publicly, calling in to radio stations....it's pretty unanimous. People who use the environment they grew up in as an excuse for being a criminal are a DISGRACE to all those who have overcome tragedy and obstacles in situations as bad if not worse. I've never claimed to know anything more about you than your opinions you've stated in this thread. When asked why you killed the animals, you listed the reason for one of them as "ate thru our wall" you didn't say anything about him being old or w/e. if that was the case then that changes things obviously. I apologize for making it personal, that wasn't right. I was under the impression that you killed the dog simply because it had misbehaved. Comparing boxing classes to dog fighting? If i even have to explain why that's ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever, i'm wasting my time in the first place. |

And the crimes committed are, to most, undebatably horrible and wrong. All creatures have an equal right to live and love. What vick did to his dogs is not what nature intended. |

Fu-k mike vick and anyone else who fights pit's. I raised pits many years on the south-side of chicago. I think they should take vick and put him in the pit with a few pitbulls that are trained to attack people. People who take advantage of the weak and innocent are cowards. If they put Vick in a real fed joint he will be paying rent and someone will be getting some good money for the next two years. Vick made a deal to lesser his time. The Feds dont give time cuts unless you help them. So i am sure he told on someone big. "are you black? did u grow up around hood fights? dogfights? or are you white and grow up around golf and 2 story houses? vick's a product of his environment." Man, whats wrong with you? I grew up on SPAULDING in CHI TOWN born and raised in the hood!!! I did alot of things in my life, but people who hurt the innocent are punks. I been through it all from being on the block being a fool to anything you can think about and i never sunk to the level of hurting something that knows no better. I told guys dont bring that sh-t around me. I would take your dog, simple as that. If you want to be a hard guy and fight dogs why dont you go put in some real work and be about something? IDK thats just some retarded sh-t to say. That is like me grabbing you and pushing you in a cell and shuting the door behind you.Making you square off with a guy with a shank. Then we can let you lay there until a CO finds you and air lifts you or let you lay there and die. How would like that? I SAY VICK IS A BI_CH!!! I never get into things like this but this got me heated. I have Two pits now. |

Silver Member Username: Gh0st_31FL USA Post Number: 599 Registered: May-06 | I was born in the same city as Mike Vick so Ive been a fan for a while but this is like, wow. He has had the whole waterbottle, flicking off the fans, he just not smart. First off... HE HAD A KENNEL, OWNED BY HIM, BY SIGNATURE, AND NEVER SOLD ONE DOG! Come on now. They found carcasses in his yard, the house he bought for his cousin. Its his property, his responsibility. You need to understand how these dogs were killed. Thrown into the pool and then electrocuted. Picked up by the hind legs and smashed into the concrete until it died. Newsed up and hung. It is disgusting, and him and his homies are POS. In jail hes in trouble. If youre in jail and r@pe michael vick, you'll probably be the most badass guy in the tri-county area. Oh and if it was tom brady, it would be exactly the same, probably worse because hes a BETTER player. And if he's so innocent how come he didnt take his high priced lawyers and go to trial? I think Id take that shot if they didn't have anything against me. He going in the slammer for at least a year i'd say 18 months. Add on 1-2 years of NFL suspension, which will not run concordantly, because PETA would go ape sh!t, and the NFL is already leaning toward non concordance. |

Anyone that can torture an animal in such a way is disgusting. They aren't just dogs. |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1631 Registered: Jun-06 | So Vick is expected to plead guilt to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dogfighting. He is NOT pleading guilty to killing the dogs or even gambling on the fights. Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will not admit to killing dogs or gambling on dog fights, as detailed in his indictment, when he enters a guilty plea in a Richmond, Va., federal court Monday, a source close to the case has told ESPN. Instead, the one count of conspiracy that Vick will plead to will admit guilt to the charge of interstate commerce for the purpose of dogfighting. The source told ESPN that Vick's defense team met with federal attorneys Thursday afternoon to determine the "summary of facts" to which Vick will plead, and his attorneys believe they have a deal. The source says Vick maintains he never killed dogs and never gambled on a dog fight. He will admit he was present when dogs were killed, but that he did not personally kill any of the dogs. The allegations of killing dogs and gambling were part of the picture painted by Vick's three co-defendants, all of whom have pleaded guilty. Vick, 27, is scheduled to enter his plea agreement Monday and could face up to five years in prison. Vick's co-defendants said Vick provided virtually all the gambling and operating funds for the Bad Newz Kennels enterprise. Two of them also said Vick participated in executing at least eight underperforming dogs by various means, including drowning and hanging. A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the terms are not final, told The Associated Press Wednesday that prosecutors will recommend a sentence of one year to 18 months. However, U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson is not bound by that recommendation or by federal sentencing guidelines that will call for less than the five-year maximum. It's still unclear whether all this will end the career of one of the NFL's most dazzling players. Vick has been barred from training camp by the NFL, and commissioner Roger Goodell has asked the Falcons not to take any action until the league rules. Goodell can suspend Vick under the NFL's personal conduct policy. While the league hasn't said whether a potential suspension would be concurrent with Vick's prison sentence, it probably would take effect once he is released from custody. That means Vick likely would miss both the 2007 and 2008 seasons. The Falcons in 2004 signed Vick to a 10-year, $130 million contract, at the time, one of the largest in NFL history. The bonus and guaranteed money he received in his contract totaled $44 million, and the team might try to reclaim part of that. Vick has also lost lucrative contracts with sponsors. Rawlings, Nike, Reebok and Upper Deck are among the companies that have either ended contracts with him or stopped sales of his merchandise. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2989037 |

After all, his 2 partners will be testifying against him. No criminal should be allowed that kind of freedom. It's either you're guilty of all crimes or not guilty. How many more OJs/Michael Jacksons/Kobe do we need?? I'm just against anyone getting off cause of their money/connections. |
