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.
Contact the Falcons front office to let them know how you feel about Vick’s treatment of animals.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Clearly you did not pay attention to the Towers being attacked on September 11.
Umm, terrorism, I am sorry to say cannot compare to this. I am sure there will be plenty of geniuses who will proceed to tell us how it is the same thing but I refuse to accept that people jumping 100 floors out of a burning building that has been attacked by 2 planes is not worst than dogs getting tortured.
Sorry, maybe I am more of a “humanist” than an “animalist”.
Although, I doubt this genius would say this if Al -Qaeda came to attack him - I am sure he would know then that terrorism is far far far worst.
Yeah, it is bad but it’s a dog. Americans are so whimpy. It’s a dog. Get over it. Americans kiss their dogs on the mouth, sleep with them, spend thousands on them like idiots. They’ll get all lovey dovey when they see a dog but will walk over a homeless person on the street.
What about those stupid pit bulls who eat kids and kill humans? Why don’t you all get angry about that? What about women who are raped everyday and kids molested? Why don’t you all go and scream about that????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t want to continue and drag on this discussion too much cause it seems heated. I just wanted to say something to the people who were ugly enough to bring up race. If you check out this video on Youtube, you’ll see the trainers and guardians of these dogs happen to all be white. Vick is responsible of course but you’ll see that people actually conducting these fights and setting up the rape stand and tying up these dogs were white. So race is not an issue here. It’s about innocent animals. Humans have the ability to be good and clear thinkers. Let’s not get ugly. We are better than that.
Here is the video:

i hope he goes to jail for life. that is just cruel. what a f*&%# ass.
Those of you who are putting this down to race are also ignorant twits.

This post is specifically about dogs hence the responses in relation to animal cruelty. It is stupid to say that those who have comented on this thread a unsympethetic to other atrosities which occur against women, men children etc. Atrosities occur within both the animal and human world. But as humans, we are the more developed and have the ability to think and make judgements between right and wrong rather than react impulsively on instinct like animals do.
Any living thing deserves to be treated with respect and dignity. What a soul-less ignorant fool you are to think otherwise.
Why are some people here bringing up all kinds of other issues around the world? What is this article about? Dogfighting is it not? What is wrong with being outraged by this?
Stick with the subject matter why don’t you? Why bring up Darfur and bullfighting, and slavery and every other prooblem in the world? How do you know the same people who are furious about this animal abuse isn’t concerned about other issues as well?
So to prove oneself as not being a hypocrite as someone here so blatantly assumes of everyone who feels strongly against animal cruelty, one must proclaim him/herself a vegatarian who owns no leather goods? To say that dogfighting is wrong, one must also express how distressing all the problems in the world are as well?
In order to say this is wrong, must we also bring up hatred for the rapists and pedophiles? Must we also talk about child abuse and terrorism? Must we also talk about necrophilia and domesic violence? I don’t see anything wrong whatsoever with expressing anguish at these inhumane acts to dogs as this is what this thread and article is about.
Please, those of you who want talk about all the other issues, be it human rights or AIDS or world hunger when this article is clearly about breeding Pitbulls solely for dogfighting, go prove how educated or how non-hypocritical you are someplace else. All these issues you so badly want to talk about is irrelevant here. Clearly you have a strong desire to impress. Instead of attempting to sound intelligent and well-informed on a gossip blog, why not put all that energy and whatever it is you’re so full of in a forum that actually discusses those issues?
Innocent until proven guilty in the court of law? I bet these same people believe O.J is innocent. And for vegetarians who chose to do so because of their respect for living creatures. Are plants not living things as well? Do plants not have life? Are they not killed when you eat them? Come to think of it, bacteria and viruses are life too, so by taking antibiotics, you are in fact killing millions of lives. Eating meat does not make one a hypocrite. I don’t think many meat eaters out there would approve of animals being tortured to death so that they could eat them.
I am by no means crticizing the way you choose to live. Don’t eat meat, don’t wear shoes, belts or buy leather purses. Whatever helps you sleep at night. But hey, there’s no need to call others hypocrites just because they don’t live the way YOU think they should. If you want to be so technical about it and pick on dog lovers who eat meat, why don’t you also include environmentalists who read books or buy/use anything that contains plastic. Do you know for a fact that every household product you use, every cosmetic product you own (gel, shampoo, soap etc.), every medicine you have ever ingested have not been tested on lab animals, being the vegetarian you are?
Some people call themselves vegetarians but eat fish, eggs, drink milk. And where do eggs and milk come from? I don’t know what kind of vegetarian you are and frankly, I don’t care. What I find repulsive is the self-righteous attitude you have. Bringing up all kinds of global issues as if you are the only person who “cares” and is “aware”. What does this article have to do with that? How do you know people who care about animal abuse don’t also care about human beings? What makes you so special? What’s with the my mommy is an attorney my daddy is the president talk? Does that make you a more caring or a more intelligent person? It just means your mommy had intercourse with your daddy and had you. If you want to be respected for your opinions, earn it. What your mother, father, brother sister, cousin twice removed does for a living doesn’t mean jack.
By saying your so and so does whatever it is for a living is supposed to prove your opinions are worth more? All bow down to child of attorney, she/he obviously knows it all and everyone else who doesn’t think exactly the same way to this person whose parent is an attorney is a hypocrite.
My mommy is gynaecologist so obviously I’m the know-it-all of pu$$y. All hail the king of pu$$y please, no one knows good pu$$y like I do. You don’t know jack about the female anatomy even if you have one because my mommy makes me the expert. All of you who think you know anything about the ****** are all wrong. And anyone who cares more about pu$$y than penises are all hypocrites because they’re both body parts and obviously if you like one body part you should like them all because then you are a hypocrite, is that not your reasoning?
Well, how do you like that? Me rambling on about all kinds of nonsense because according to a few people here, if you want to discuss about the plight of animals you should also discuss the plight everything else under the sun. How do you go from illegal dogfights to Darfur? Please, why don’t you just go there already and preach world peace to them. Oh, you are not there aiding in any way? Doesn’t that make you… what is that word you so like to use?… a *gasp* hypocrite?

Thanks. I think you’ve just about wrapped it up. Well said.
The word that was obliterated is ‘v a g i n a’. No idea why because it isn’t a bad word. Oh well….
what a complete piece of ****!! I hope they put him in Jail for a long time or at least unleash his own dogs on him so they can rip him to pieces!!!
how horrible!
He is a very SICK person that needs to be dealt with in a swift and aggressive manner. We do not need people like him being rewarded for their “talent.”
Thank you for posting this horrific story Jared. Hopefully, the world is entering a time when cruelty and dishonor in any form will no longer be accepted ~ whether 2 footed or 4 footed. Because the animals cannot speak for themselves, it is important that we speak up for them. Please write and call the Atlanta Falcons and the NFL and demand that Vick be suspended now.
AAAARRRRGGGHHHH! DAMN! Dog fighting is cruel, and people who participate and like to watch this, are cruel nasty as*es too!
I hope you all are taking a second to write. I did. It literally takes 10 seconds. Here’s what I wrote:
I will no longer root for the Falcons, buy ANY merchandise, or buy ANY tickets to ANY games until Vick is thrown OFF the team. He is DISGUSTING for doing that to dogs.
Just wanted to know you are about to lose a big fan, and a big SPENDING fan.
__________
Anyway, click on the link JJ provides and let them know you will hurt them in the pocketbook. That’s all they care about anyway.
Sadly, I am sure we havent heard the whole story ..the dogs that are used as baits for training, the puppies that get savaged when thrown in the pit …
He should NOT PLAY he should pay. I hope the NFL ban him forever.
to number 110: AAAARRRRGGGHHHH
I really, really, liked your post. You summed things up very well. Thanks!
Shame on him!!!!!
There is nothing wrong with being outraged by this post, this event, this disgusting act. You people that are saying that we can’t be angry at THIS because we aren’t angry about bullfighting and big mac and wars and starving children? This post wasn’t about ANY of those things.
People are OUTRAGED by any number of things in the world today, TONS of people; that’s why fur coats get paint thrown on them and why people hate Bush and why there are vegans… but obviously this post wasn’t about the other issues. What makes us such hypocrites for being angry at the topic at hand? It’s so appropriate.
Just for the record, I think bullfighting is horrid, the things that they do to those poor beast are disgusting and so are the people that find bullfighting entertaining. I don’t eat big macs, I don’t wear fur, and I do care about the starving children… but what am I supposed to do for them? Should I get angry on their behalf? I’d love to help them.. there are starving children in America that NO ONE cares about, and I’d love to help them too.
I hope he goes to jail and gets fucked up the ass repeatedly. Those poor dogs :(
awful, so sorry for those dogs…. oh god…
Jared, I am really upset that you caused this riotous behavior on your blog. I would expect this of Perez, but not you. This modern day lynching of Michael Vick is totally unnecessary. MV is being executed in the media right now and that is just not right.
I do not believe in animal cruelty, I have a labrador retriever that I love dearly (Moses). The evidence agaimst MV is circumstantial. I agree wholeheartedly with Team Lara Croft’s dialogue. MV is treated less than a human at this point and you are leading the pack on this blog.
#124 - Sorry but this ******* deserves all this and more for what he’s done.
