Vick Admits Dog Killing

NFL star Michael Vick has admitted that he and his co-conspirators killed dogs that did not fight well in papers filed on Friday with a federal court in Virginia.

Vick said he would plead guilty to one count of "Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture," in a plea agreement filed at the federal district court in Richmond, Virginia.

The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, "full restitution, a special assessment, and 3 years of supervised release," the plea deal says.

Federal prosecutors agreed to ask for the low end of the sentencing guidelines.

"The defendant will plead guilty because the defendant is in fact guilty of the charged offense," the plea agreement says.

Now that he has admitted guilt everyone should flood the NFL with calls and e-mails telling them that Michael Vick should never grace the playing field again. His behavior was sub human and he must never be in a position to influence children again.

Vick Accepts Deal, Will Plead Guilty

Michael Vick agreed Monday to plead guilty to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, a deal that leaves the Atlanta Falcons quarterback facing up to 18 months in prison and puts his NFL career in jeopardy.

Under the plea agreement, prosecutors will recommend Vick be sentenced to between a year and 18 months in prison, according to a government official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the terms have not yet been made final.

His career is in jeopardy? His career should be over. Electrocuting, drowning and other unspeakable cruelties to these dogs should have him in jail for the next ten years. Since that won't happen he should wind up broke and homeless and living like a stray dog. He is an animal and should be treated like one.

Will Michael Vick Accept A Plea Deal?

Two co-defendants in the Michael Vick dogfighting case pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge Friday in federal district court and agreed to "fully cooperate" with prosecutors building a case against Vick, the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.

Purnell Peace of Virginia Beach and Quanis Phillips of Atlanta become the third co-defendants to plead guilty of conspiracy to travel interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture.

The walls are closing in on Michael Vick as they should. Anyone who could participate in the sadistic cruelty outlined in these chagres does not deserve to walk free among us.

In April 2007, according to Phillips's statement, he, along with Peace and Vick, "tested" dogs by "putting the dogs through fighting sessions . . . to determine which animals were good fighters."

The three men "executed approximately eight dogs that did not perform well."

The dogs were killed "by various methods including hanging and drowning," according to the documents.

Real justice would be to put Mr. Vick in the ring with a pack of these dogs and see what happens. He didn't need the money so you have to wonder why he would take such a risk. It would appear that he is a sadistic low life. I hope the prosecutors will throw the book at him. I would love to see a plea deal fall apart and have him face a lengthly prison sentence.

His NFL contract should be cancelled and he should never grace the playing field again. It is the only response that should be accepted from the NFL.
