Michael Vick Indicted in Dogfighting Case

Hearing about Michael Vick's indictment made me happy. Hearing what his dogfighting ring would do to the dogs involved literally made me sick.

On July 17th, Vick and three others were charged with competitive dogfighting, procuring and training pit bulls for fighting and conducting the enterprise across state lines.

That's not even the sick part. What makes this entire situation almost unbearable are the descriptions about what would happen to these poor animals. If these animals lost or were unable to continue fighting, they were "taken out back", if you will, and either electrocuted, hanged, or simply beaten to death.

Allegedly, Michael Vick and his co-defendants have been running this ring, called "Bad Newz Kennels", out of a house in Surry County, Va. For the past few months, anyone who follows sports has heard about the increasing investigating that has been taking place. Naturally, Vick has been claiming to be innocent, knowing nothing about the dogfighting ring, but it did not matter. There is enough evidence from a number of sources that allowed Vick to get indicted.

This is certainly no laughing matter for the Atlanta Falcons quarterback - or should I say former Atlanta Falcons quarterback? This is a serious crime that is being handled by the feds - that means the FBI. If the evidence proves that Vick really was a part of all of this, you can bet that he will be going to prison. As all of this continues to come up and the public learns more and more about the dogfighting ring, he would have to get convicted. Letting him off would almost be too O.J.-esque.
