So if say Vick had these dogs and let them outside with the intent that they were getting outside and that was it and they got to fighting on their own, that would be ok?? As long as betting and stuff wasn't taking place??

Just checking here that's all. :)

Now you're trying to rationalize it. :? Sometimes, dogs get into fights. Thing about that is, most times those fights end when one of the dogs runs off the other. There may be some bite marks and scratches, but both dogs are very, very seldom going to be badly hurt. That's just standard animal behavior.

In dog-fighting, however, these dogs are bred to be vicious. Then they are put into a small ring with nowhere to run, meaning they are forced to fight to the death or damn near it. Other than chicken-fighting (couldn't say the 'C' word...edited it out. ;) ), it's one of the most brutal spectacles there is and the dog has no choice but to kill or be killed.

I hope Vick goes up for a long, long time. :x

Unfortuntely TF the odds of him going to prison for a "long, long time" are remote due to his celebrity status but let's hope the norm is broken here and he gets what he deserves and the trend of letting celebrities off with a slap on the wrist is broken.

Amen to that. *sigh*

The one thing that better happen is that he gets kicked out of the N.F.L.

I think Oklahoma still hasnt outlawed chicken fighting. :?

Yeah, it's sad that these dogs are bred that way. That's why I've never liked being around domesticated pit bulls. A friend of mine has 2. She has never been bit, nor attacked, but she's got more guts than me. :shock:

It's gonna be interesting what's gonna happen to Vick. If he sees jail time, or no more NFL, or what.

Hey it's cool TF, just wanted to look at it from a different view.

Surry County is keeping everything in line to make sure they nail him and nail him big. They called off the search yesterday before it ever started because of the langauge of the warrant. They felt that it did not adequately cover the search parameters they needed without the possibility of it being considered an illegal search, so they ripped it up and were to get another one today with better wording. The new one would make sure that everything they were going to do was written correctly and could not come back as something being done illegally.

This is a huge problem in Baltimore as well as DC. I was talking to a friend yesterday about Vick and dog fighting in general. He knows someone that is animal control down in the city (Baltimore), this person told him that 90% of the time they are recovering dogs that are left hanging of off buildings, bridges, or just drug behind cars and left in streets after the fight. You never here about it on the news though, guess this type of behavior is not news worthy.

That really saddens me that people can be that cold, really.

I think we should drop these guys into a cage with a lion, tiger, bear, maybe a black mamba? that would be fun. Then watch em fight to their death.

How about a 30' hungry reticulated python? Or tie'em up and lay them in front of a Driver Ant raid.

Overall, I agree. Can't figure out what's wrong with jackholes like this. These are the same kinds of garbage that kill spouses and children.

Remember Twi, Mike Vick is the same person who thought he was so big time that he had to have an alter-ego when traveling to away games,(remember Ron Mexico??) The same guy who had about 30 parking tickets for parking illegally at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta and chose to ignore the parking tickets. He paid attention after they put the boot on his car. The same guy who tried to carry a water bottle either onto an airplane or thru a check point(when everything liquid was banned for a month or so) only to find out it had a hidden compartment in it. The water bottle mysteriously disappeared once that news broke........

The man, kid whatever he is does not have a very good head on his shoulders. Guess it is time to blame it on the childhood experience he had while growing up in Newport News, VA. :roll:

Bump. :P

Well, he is indicted, so watch the news, and see what happens. They said there were 3 charges filed against him. If I heard right, it was abusing, as well as the fighting.

Vick is a gang banger who happens to play football(Poorly at that).
Hope they hang him out to dry and put him in prison with his Homies.

I could not agree more. This is one subject that really bothers me. I would like to him kicked out of the league, and put in prison. Unfortunately with his status and money he will get a fine that would be like 5 dollars to us and they will have some excuse like overcrowding or maybe he could have a nervous breakdown like Ms. Hilton. It is sad that money will allow these people to do almost anything they want. Oh well just another ghetto boy who could of done very well --- but I am sure it was the fault of someone else --- or maybe it was "the man" keeping him down :roll:

:D It won't happen, Yoop. With Vick's celebrity status and money he will be able to hire a good defense mouthpiece or two (any maybe a witness or judge) and they'll blame all his problems on a troubled childhood or some garbage like that. He'll get a slap on the wrist and be back trying to play football. It's a shame when money and celebrity status can buy justice when the rest of us poor stiffs end up in the slammer. :cry:
