''executed the losing dog by wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting the animal.

[Swede]

Put the bite on Vick now
Jurisprudence be damned, image of electrocuted dogs and protests at Falcons games is not good for business

1. What A Vicious Fucker He Is. Let's Hope Justice Is Swift And Harsh.

Can't wait to hear about this piece of shit getting what's coming to him.

[tularetom]

7. He'll never get what's coming to him

As far as I'm concerned what ought to happen to this piece of shit is exactly what he did to those dogs. Go all medieval on his ass.

Best we could hope for is a long stretch in jail, like the rest of his miserable fucking life. But that probably won't happen either so maybe a couple of years is the most we'll see I fear.

2. My dog was rescued by the police from a place where

they were regularly electrocuting her and cutting her. This story makes me absolutely sick and I hope he rots in jail.

[Kingshakabobo]

18. I had a Chicago policeman tell me to keep an eye......

....on my dog because they steal pets for 'bait/practice.' I was in a coffee shop where I had left my dog tied up outside in a spot where I wouldn't have to take my eye off her. The cop came in and asked "Is that your dog?"......I thought oh, shit I'm going to get a ticket for something stupid. Nope, he gave me friendly advice to keep a close eye out. I guess some people are dumb enough to leave their dogs tied up outside stores were they have no way to see their pets. THAT, I would never do - especially now.

4. Tell me again that steroid testing is being enforced.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

8. What Does Steroid Testing Have To Do With This?

Methinks you're a tad confused as to what he's being charged with.

[Bake]

16. Methinks poster means a steroid violation would get Vick suspended

Or kicked out altogether, while this crime will not.

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

19. Didn't Sound Like That's What They Meant At All. What Makes You Think That?

[Bake]

20. It's the only thing I could think of that made it make sense.

Otherwise it was sort of out in left field ...

Bake

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

21. I Took It As Blaming Steroids For The Aggressive Behavior Towards Animals, And That

if they were really doing testing they would have spotted this.

[daninthemoon]

23. Because steroids can make you a vicious homicidal maniac.

He may come by it natural, but ...

[OPERATIONMINDCRIME]

24. Yeah, That's What I Thought You Meant. Pretty Ridiculous Really.

Roid rage is a bit more of an impulsive thing than years long organized dog fighting. Seems like you were just trying to illogically skew this issue to something you wanted to gripe about rather than towards something that had legitimacy.

Not saying he is or isn't on steroids, but it would definitely be an illogical leap of deduction to associate its use with this story.

[Bake]

27. Ah, so you were right!

I still think my explanation was better, though. It's the only way I could get it to make any sense. Vick may be humiliated in the press for this, but I don't see it getting him suspended or canned. A steroid violation, on the other hand, probably would because it's against the league rules.

5. As much as I dislike football

If they ever come to my town I'll be right along side PETA

[Hubert Flottz]

6. My dogs are like any other member of my family to me...

But when you see a country tolerate Abu Ghraib, I guess you can expect things like this out of some of it's people.

Trickle down torture?

[Swede]

10. Like the Roman Empire redux.

Torture,gladiators,the Coliseum. An underclass that serves in the military. Heck they even got mercenaries

[Beausoleil]

22. Similar to my thoughts

Guantanamo for dogs? Maybe someone further down Vick's chain of command will pay the price.

[malachi]

9. "not good for business" That's the key. The ever image conscious

NFL will be forced to deal with this jackass. You can bet that the commissioner has already gone through the labor agreement with the NFLPA to figure what he can legally do to punish vick. Should be interesting.

[China_cat]

11. Nope

AJC reporting this morning that Vick will be allowed to play.

[malachi]

15. Hard to believe, but it should be interesting to see the reception

he gets when he takes the field. I have a feeling that few folks might show up and voice their displeasure.

[Johonny]

12. says the police...

maybe we should you know wait for the conviction by a jury that weighs both sides before you know trashing the league and every single football player thats ever lived.

[Swede]

13. I like the part where Vick blames his relatives for the dog fights.

I'm sure that will come back to bite him.

[Virginia Dare]

14. He's clearly sociopathic..

and due to his "star status" he's never had to take responsibility for anything. The society surrounding him has had to put up with quite a bit of bullshit from him over the years, and his apologists have always been right there to back him up. I hope they now see who he really is. I have no sympathy for him, if he's guilty he needs to pay a heavy price.

[China_cat]

17. Other players when charged with anything

have been suspended until after the court case. Why should this be any different? Because they're DOGS? Is that why he's getting a pass until after the court case?

Sorry, it doesn't wash for me.

[AZBlue]

25. Screw probation. He should be fired and banned from the NFL.

[spanone]

26. Maybe the Atlanta fans could do that to Vick if he loses a game.
