Good. Couldnt have happened to a bigger asshole. I hope they actually punish him. What ever they throw at him wont be enough.

I have a "friend" @ FSU, who is very close to the football program, and he has been trumpting for years what total jerks the Vick brothers are and it seems the more I learn about them the more my friend is right.

If he is found guilty he should be banned from the league. Also he should be severely beaten.

Wow, some of the details of this indictment are stunning -- they executed dogs by drowning them, electrocuting them, and hanging them?!? That sounds insanely sadistic. I hope they throw the book at all four of these guys.

I don't think that we'll ever see Vick play another down in the NFL. Just based on the indictment, I expect to see the "Law & Order" team in the NFL office suspend him, then permanently ban him if convicted & imprisoned.

Not that I personally agree about the severity of the offense. He was not responsible for mistreatment of humans. Millions of animals are mistreated daily in the processing of food.

I say let the punishment fit the crime. If guilty he should "fixed up" to be a piece of bait for a UFC match.

...dogs used as "bait," weaker animals set between two hungry fighters to get them riled, show up in even sadder states. Many have been declawed or intentionally blinded: "anything to make them as defenseless as possible," ...

Sorry T, but I couldn't disagree more. What Vick did was reprehensible. Dogs do nothing but show unconditional love and to be beaten, hanged, and electrocuted isn't even in the same ballpark with chickens or cattle being slaughtered for mass production of food. We do that for FOOD (sustenance, nutrition), while these thugs were torturing and killing these animals for kicks and gambling purposes.

I'd put the life of my dog over the life of a lot of people I know.

Sorry but you can't give credence to this type of thinking. Human life is more valuable than a dogs. At least that is how we think about things like that down here on earth.

Amen Losac......I used to work for a poultry company and those PETA imbeciles made me laugh.......all that aside, I hope Vick goes away long time.....

Your opinions on the matter are known, crazy. We've had this argument on here before.

According to the article on ESPN, he bought a vacant house, put up a big fence to hide what was going on, built kennels and then constructed another two story house (with a basketball court) to house the people presumably training these dogs.

And this wasn't to show them off at Westminster Dog Show.

He's toast. Check your keeper leagues lol.
