      Vick is STILL getting SPECIAL treatment and it makes me sick.

      How FAST did this happen? He should have had to endure the slow grind of the justice system, like any “consumer” would have had to endure.

      I saw this part-

      In the plea deal, Vick agreed to cooperate with investigators and provide all information he may have on any criminal activity and to testify if necessary. Vick also agreed to turn over any documents he has and to submit to polygraph tests.

      Vick agreed to “make restitution for the full amount of the costs associated” with the dogs that are being held by the government.
      advertisement

      “Such costs may include, but are not limited to, all costs associated with the care of the dogs involved in that case, including if necessary, the long-term care and/or the humane euthanasia of some or all of those animals.”

      That is EXACTLY what I want from the pet food poisoners and the apology too! And 5 months , going on 6 since the recall, a FREAKING year since the pets started dying and the suffering began and WHERE ARE THE ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUPS FOR US!!!???

      Citizens who pay taxes, do NOT fight dogs, pay astounding vet bills due to to FRAUD and have uncounted dead and wounded pets, well, WE COUNT TOO!
      I think we count for MORE than a dog fighting weasel!

      And oh yeah, we alerted the country if not the entire world, about being slowly poisoned and for THAT alone we did more public service than a freaking dog fighting football player.</description>

		<description>Do you hear about the Trainer that got arrested because the police think he gave the grayhounds at the Daytona race track Cocaine and three dogs were found dead and they think the trainer did it. He can&#039;t train any dogs or have one on him.</description>

Vick&#039;s &quot;father&quot; LOL. I would take any remark made by that character with a grain of salt. 
Some fine pair. They deserve each other.

		<description>Comment by Lilly and Lucy&#039;s mom — August 25, 2007 @ 3:46 pm

Ditto. WTF? Why is it more acceptable to the sports world to torture dogs than to gamble? 

And did anyone else hear the CNN interview this morning? They talked to a Wash Post reporter who&#039;s been talking to Vick&#039;s estranged dad.  According to the reporter, Dad is saddened, but not surprised. Says the QB always had a fascination with animals fighting. The reporter says Dad told him that when Vick was a boy in Newport News, he and his buddies used to &quot;go down to the lumberyard and sic dogs on cats.&quot;  

Sic(k) is right.</description>

		<description>You know what sickens me the most about Vick?

He&#039;s not holding back admitting he killed the dogs he&#039;s trying to cover the betting so in his sick mind he might be able to get back to the NFL some day.  

I&#039;d like to see the maximum jail time and a mandate that he&#039;ll never play pro football again or be involved as a coach etc.</description>

		<description>Katie, our county sheriff, Joe Arpaio, is known for being strong on animal-welfare issues. I don&#039;t know if DMX can be charged for neglect, but the dogs will be protected, and if there are any charges that can be filed, Sheriff Joe will do it loudly.</description>

		<description>Shadepuppy, one of the Arizona papers said one of the dead dogs on the property appeared to have been burned, the other two bodies were beyond being able to tell what killed them. Added to that the dogs still alive who had no food or water.

I hope there is an in-depth investigation. Even if there was no dog-fighting, I think they should bring him up on charges of dog abuse.
His property, his dogs. He should be held responsible.

I&#039;m glad to see Vick going down, and only hope the rest of the rings across the country are brought down too.

		<description>Vick&#039;s fate rests in the hands of a judge on Monday. Prison time for an NFL star may not be as hard as it would be for non-celebrity felons (although there are some things that tend to happen to all men in prison). He may have money  saved, and he may own a lot of nice stuff to come home to when he gets out of prison (if he does time), and he&#039;ll still have a lot of fans. I&#039;d like to see a lot of community service work required at animal shelters, plus fines paid to shelters - something that MIGHT get him to see the pain and suffering he was responsible for, and would help some shelters get things they need.

The raid on DMX&#039;s house happened in my general area - the neighbors are quoted saying that DMX hasn&#039;t been in the house for months, and his lawyer says that they hired a caretaker for the dogs. The dogs appear to be healthy but thin (ribs showing)and were found without food/water available to them today (another hot Arizona day). No signs of dog-fighting were seen according to initial reports.</description>
