Kat, I feel so sad for those poor dogs. I just hope that they are in a better, happier place. I hope they can see everything now and see that not all humans treat animals this way but I dont know, I have a hard time not being ashamed of the human race at times like this. Bless you, your poor doggies, may you find all the wonderful love, caring and respect that you deserve!

No double-standard here: You’re being rude. Knock it off.

Laura S, I have no problem with being proven wrong, I hope thats the case that the over 600 comments on TMZ are all because they are upset over the very sad life and then death of these poor dogs, that would be a good thing. Im curious whether there were as many comments on TMZ when the pet food poisoning occurred? And my I clearly said I was guessing about the comments on TMZ so I wasnt judging the book by its cover as I didnt read the “cover” at TMZ and probably wont.

It’s almost hard to believe that the mentality of cavemen still exist in modern day society.

Another blog referred to michael as “lower than scum pond”. I thought this was much too kind.

he will not be playing in a game next week. the team is to report to training camp on the 26th, same day he’s due in court. games with fans don’t start for a bit, preseason or otherwise. i haven’t even been notified about when the fantasy draft starts yet ;) plenty of time for the Falcons to find a work around Vick. i have seen Falcon fans blogging about who should replace him, and the “stupid” move of their org to let another QB go. Vick looks to be on shakey ground when it comes to Atlanta fans.

I have seen and heard about much animal abuse but to me, the sport of dogfighting is the most abhorrent abuse. And it’s a dangerous business to investigate. Kudo’s to those investigators who have been following this case for, what appears, years. I have no doubt they dotted all their i’s and crossed all their t’s with this case. Vick is going down!

Although Katrina is known to have taken some 88,700 animals (still unaccounted for) unfortunately Katrina didn’t take the dog fighting scumbags that were so prevelent throughout the city before the storm. Even while 1,000’s of volunteers spent 14 hour days trying to save the lost, abandoned and abused animals of this city, local dogfighters were back at it within the first month. In the early days, many dogs, notably pit bulls, were disappearing from Lamar Dixon, the staging area set up to house NOLA’s rescued animals. Suspected of this were the dog fighters.

While eating at a restaurant one night, a local resident who sat next to our table told us that he knew where dog fighting was taking place just 2 miles from where we were; taking place as he spoke to us. I was livid! I later tried to get other rescuers to drive by the location with me, but all were too fearful.

He also told us about a very good friend of his who was an undercover cop that had been investigating the local dogfighting ring for about a year. Said dogfighters discovered who he was and slit his throat, killing him and that the NOPD covered up the murder. He told us that local politicians, businessmen and police officers are all involved in this sport. And guess who his undercop friend told him was one of the ring leaders? The owners of Harrah’s Casino!
