54 Dogs Get Vick-timized
NFL star Michael Vick has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with running a dogfighting ring out of his mansion in Virginia. His arraignment before a federal judge will be in Richmond on July 26.
AOL News reports, “54 pit bulls were recovered from the property during searches in April, along with a “rape stand,” used to hold dogs in place for mating; an electric treadmill modified for dogs; and a bloodied piece of carpeting, the documents said.”
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said: “We agree with them that dogfighting is cruel, degrading and illegal. The alleged activities are very disturbing and we are extremely disappointed Michael Vick has put himself in this position.”
Below is one of the dogs that were seized from Vick’s property.

You have no idea how bad this really is and what an ******* he really is. If you live in the Atl area and then you are really seeing it all day long right now and we have been hearing about this for several months now. His answer whne questioned about it is always the same..”Ain’t gonna matter what nobody says cause all round the world people still gonna love Mike Vick”. I can’t even begin to get into all the stuff that is going on and the ways that he is killing these dogs when he is done with them, it is horrific. He is disgusting. And the hardcore Falcon/Vick fans when interviewed are all turning on him.
the poor dogs no animal desevers to be treated this way. he deserves to go to jail for life.
Nike should get rid of him. Email nike and tell them you won’t buy their products if they don’t dump Michael Vick. Go to nike.com and you could email them by clicking contact us. Michael Vick is totally disgusting.
How come no one that is in charge of this site ever went after ESPN for their hunting shows. They show dead bloody animals on their website. What is the purpose of shooting a hippo and standing over its dead body. Dont just go after Vick. Be consistent. That goes for those wackos at PETA too
He needs to go to hell, I HATE people who mistreat innocent animals and no I am not a member of PETA, I just think all these people who make animals fight need to be shot in the head and bleed to death. I would rather watch that!! ********
Thank you JJ. I wrote to the Falcons to let them know how I feel.
sick A$$hole, SOB
disgusting and sadistic !!!
“Anyone heard of innocent until proven guilty”?
It’s a cornerstone of the American judicial system…haven’t u people learned anything from the Duke Lacrosse case?
let the legal process run its course.
It’s also very hypocritical to call him an “animal” and “sadistic.” You people do know bulls are raised to fight in Spain right?…and they aren’t raised to fight each other like in dog-fighting…they are raised and forced to fight MEN…the bulls almost always ends up dead with a sword stab through it’s neck…should matadors ************?, are Ernest Hemingway and the Spaniards who enjoy bullfigiting animals and sadistic?.
You know what happens when a horse can no longer run in a race? They put a bullet in his ass and send him to a glue factory.
You know what happens to animals in the wild that get caught? They send them to zoos and circuses where they become slaves, live in cages, and are forced to perform for people.
You ever see a lion at the zoo looking weak in the corner of a cave because people have stripped away his only reason to live just so there dirty little children can throw peanuts at him.
Pigs are much smarter than dogs and we slaughter them daily.
Aren’t gamehunters and people who set out mousetraps and spray at insects all scum, too? It’s one thing to say “Hey, if Vick broke the law, he should be arrested.”, and quite another so say “Vick is the scum of the earth for participating in dogfighting” while you sit there in your leather shoes and belt eating a hamburger.
At what point will people realize that animal cruelty is an insight into a human beings TRUE core of who they are. Animals, especially dogs are dedicated animals, they have been for centuries and will continue to be so - if they are expected to kill for their owners they will but in this instance this is just WRONG!!!!! To taunt and stave an animal to make it want to kill is so against what the animal feels as an instinct. If this man was not a first stinger with Nike and every other endorsement in the pipe he would be kicked to the curb. Please Atlanta make a statement not just for the animals in this situation but for anyone out there that feels that the amount of zeros in your bank account will not keep them from paying a price for doing something wrong. Thank you JJ for stepping up.
stop with the comparisons to the Duke Lacross team…go to cnn.com and they’ll explain to you why it’s two different things. And let’s get serious, if you read the details of the case the house was built just with dog fighting in mind. Where there’s smoke….
And the dogfighting is one thing, but then gee if the dog isn’t fit to fight, instead of taking them to the humane society where worst case scenerio they’ll have a needle put in them and they’ll just fall asleep, these people have to wet the dog down and electrocute it, or throw it to the ground until it dies. Or even hang it. What kind of people do something like this?? So please stop the comparisons to hunters and animal eaters etc. That’s going to go on until the end of time. Dogfighting serves no purpose except to pad people’s pockets or apparently give them some sick thrill when they watch the dog being killed, or better yet get to do the killing themselves.

Why is there always some fcuking ass-hole who has to reduce a criminal act to race? You dumb mofo. White people RUN the freaking sport of dogfighting you dipsh#t! Do you think Vick is running this operation on his own? If so, you’re as stupid as he is!
Thank you for the Falcons web address. I just wrote them.
There is no excuse for this person’s savage behavior. Vick should not be an Atlanta Falcon or a free man walking on the streets of Atlanta.
Clearly, Vick’s abuse, rape, torture, and murder of many dogs shows a abhorrent, sick personality. I hate him.
Who else can we write???
Ron Mexico- There is an enormous difference between torturing an animal for kicks and killing a cow for its meat. I can’t fathom how someone could compare dog fighting to any of the examples you listed. This is simply put, a sick, sadistic group of people torturing animals! Furthermore, how is it wrong for anyone to call him a sick person? If he is guilty of what he has been accused, he is just that.
I hope that if it’s proved that Michael Vick was involved in any of this, they nail.his.ass.to.the.wall!
I’ve already signed a petition in the hopes that Mr. Vick never plays football again in his LIFE. Here’s hoping every time this sadistic sick perpetuator of unspeakable cruelty is boo’ed off ANY and EVERY field he sets foot upon forever.
I hope Falcons fans have the good sense to stop buying tickets and stop going to games. I hope every player on every team in the league refuses to set foot on the same field as this pathetic waste of skin.
With any luck, the shame of what he has done will haunt him for the rest of his life, until he is an OJ-style Pariah, who NOBODY wants anything to do with publicly, ever again.
He deserves to lose his carreer. That’s the LEAST he should get as punishment.
Are you kidding me? Let him ever play again? No. I’m sorry, but no. And he has no one but himself to blame.
This man has no business even sharing the STREETS with decent people, let ALONE should he make millions for playing a game while millions of good hearted people struggle at crappy jobs just to pay their bills!
There’s always some liberal who takes his side. There is no excuse for his behavior. I hope he’s not hurting any more dogs right now.
IF WHAT HE DID WHAT HE IS BEING ACCUSED OF DOING, THAN JUSTICE WILL PREVEIL, BUT I HOPE YOU GUYS KNOW THAT FAR MORE WORSER THINGS HAS HAPPENED TO BLACKS FOR MORE THAN 400 YEARS!!! HUDEREDS OF THOUSAND DIED AND NO QUILTY WHITES GOT JUSTICE FOR IT,AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING TO THIS DAY, LOOK IT UP, BUT 54 DOGS AND YOU GUYS ARE SCREAMING FOR JUSTICE, THINK ABOUT IT!!!
it’s people like this stupid piece of sh** that give pitbulls a bad name….too bad his punishment can’t be exactly the same as what he did to these poor dogs.
I like how u completely ignored my Bullfighting analogy n last paragraph KW…I agree, what kind of people do something like that?…r they not equally “sadistic”?
The case is not built around “dog fighting”…the legal repercussions will come from the money..interstate trafficking and funding a gambling ring…the government doesn’t give a crap about those dogs, however, they want the public to do so…do you know how many people fight dogs and don’t get serious time as Alyn pointed out?
For the last time, it’s NOT a race issue, I don’t care what color the man is. How are we comparing this to slavery now? And just for the record it’s not just 54 dogs, it’s who knows how many over the course of 6 years. The 54 are the only ones that are remaining as evidence, and they too will most likely be put down as they will be deemed unadoptable since they have been trained for fighting. Again, stick to the subject, it’s about the cruelties of dog fighting, not hunting, or the Duke Lacross team, or for God’s sake slavery and it’s certainly not about the color of the man’s skin. I’m sure there are plenty of white people involved too, it’s just an awful epidemic that is growing in this country. Hopefully this case will bring it to the forefront and at least shut some of it down.
#41 - Sharon, you’re 100% right….and how about the injustices, cruelties and crimes perpetuated against women and girls worldwide, on a daily basis since time immemorial? What happened (is happening) to blacks is inexcusable, but it doesn’t begin to compare to the THOUSANDS of years of sanctioned “bride burnings” in India, or the THOUSANDS of years of sanctioned stoning-to-death of female rape victims for their “Impurity” in the Middle East, nor does it begin to compare to the horrors of female genital mutilation on the Africa continent (which, again, have been going on since Biblical times). How about the murdered and abandoned baby girls in China?
There are many injustices (such as the shameful treatment of blacks) where there isn’t a cut-and-dried SINGLE perpetrator, who did the crime within a time frame punishable by the justice system, and their WEAK statute of limitations policy….
HOWEVER, Mr. Vick is the clear perpetrator here. He has clearly broken laws and abused defenseless animals in a way that should earn him a punishment fitting his crime.
I didn’t conveniently ignore anything Ron - I just didn’t comment on everything. But since you asked, I actually do find bullfighting sadistic. And I would agree it’s the same type of sport…both should be outlawed.
On that note, this animal lover sends peace to all and to all a good night. I’m tired of thinking about Mr. Vick.
Hannah, u like KW conveniently ignored my Bullfighting analogy…are they any less sadistic?
Again, it’s one thing to say “Hey, if Vick broke the law, he should go to jail”, and quite another so say “Vick is the scum of the earth animal and sadistic for participating in dogfighting” while you sit there not condemn Spaniards n other animal cruelty…thats hypocritical any way u cut it.
I hope that everybody who has taken the time to leave a comment here has also taken time to write and email to the Falcons front office. I really hope that he does not get any special treament for his so called “fame”
I just sent a comment to the Falcons. This SOB is dead to me.
