Atlanta Falcons Michael Vick Dogfighting Charges

NFL star Michael Vick was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday on charges of sponsoring a dogfighting operation so grisly the losers either died in the pit or sometimes were electrocuted, drowned, hanged or shot.

The Atlanta Falcons quarterback and three others were charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines.

The operation was named "Bad Newz Kennels," according to the indictment, and the dogs were housed, trained and fought at a property owned by Vick in Surry County, Va.

The indictment states that dogs fought to the death -- or close to it.

If convicted, Vick and the others -- Purnell A. Peace, Quanis L. Phillips and Tony Taylor -- could face up to six years in prison, $350,000 in fines and restitution.

Good! His ass should face jail time for that kind of crap! Some say it was a property he owned but didn't necessarily live at. He knew what was going on there regardless and is completely responsible. What a crock of shit for a million dollar man to be so petty to make money off of something as cruel as dogfighting.

Grrrr! I feel much better now. :)
