Michael Vick Indicted

"One is left wondering," ........"Who are the real animals: the creatures inside or outside the ring?" ~Senator Robert Byrd

For those of you that don't know........... Michael Vick is the 130 MILLION dollar quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons.....

Let me repeat that.... One HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION dollars..... Who has or should I say had endorsement deals with such companies as Nike.... (That still remains to be seen)

As has been pointed out in various news sources this isn't Vick's first *run in* with problems....

Last year Vick settled a lawsuit filed by a woman who claimed the player knowingly gave her herpes. Then there was the AirTran *fiasco* and let's not forget how he thank's Atlanta fans when loosing a game.....

Lovely eh?

Now, because he has not been convicted and only indicted I'm not going to comment on what a PIG I think this guy is....

Instead I'll just talk about the indictment and what the allegations are...........

The indictment maps out how "Bad Newz Kennels" was purchased and various purchases of Pit Bulls (Adult and Puppies) came about...... It goes on to list conspirators........

Then it talks about their initial "test" of a few of their Pit Bulls, they did not do well in the ring and were executed by being (a) Shot with a 22 caliber AND electrocuted.......

At the time this slaughter house was *busted* they had 54 American Pit Bulls on their grounds,

Now, I've N.E.V.E.R. liked one word that has came out of Senator Robert Byrd's mouth.....

(that is until today) when he went on this rant on the floor of the Senate.....

"Barbaric!," he yelled. "Let that word resounding from hill to hill, and from mountain to mountain, and valley to valley across the broad land. Barbaric! Barbaric! May God help those poor souls who'd be so cruel. Barbaric! Hear me! Barbaric"

Finally, the Senator gets something right!!!!!

So where are the dogs now? Well, they are being housed in several shelters throughout the state.....

Don't worry tho TAX PAYERS are paying up to 25K for their care until the case is over...

NO I am NOT upset that these "fur buddies" are being taken care of..... I am BEYOND pissed off that VICK is NOT paying this!

Now, the other extremely sad point to this is most if not all of these dogs will have to be euthanized simply because they were used for "fight" dogs and have no chance of rehabilitation.

(I disagree with the Humane Society's Stance on that) BUT it's their call.....

IF it were up to me I think Vick should be forced to pay to house these dogs for the rest of their natural life and provide them with luxuries, training, exercise, and LOVE"

It would be extremely expensive but a lesson this piece of crap needs to learn.....

IF convicted of this charge and the Falcons do not release Vick from his contract I have a feeling that the Cleveland Browns will be gaining ALOT of fans....
