While the National Football League and President Obama may be willing to overlook Michael Vick's brutalization of helpless dogs, many people cannot.
When police raided Vick’s house in Surry County in 2007, they found 65 dogs, a dog-fighting pit, blood-stained carpets, and various equipment commonly used in dog fighting.
One of the items found on Vick’s property was a ‘rape stand’ which is a device in which female dogs are strapped into and restrained, to allow a male dog to breed with her.
According to the federal indictment, when dogs at Vick’s Bad Newz Kennels lost a fight, or failed to perform well in ‘test matches,’ they were routinely killed by methods including electrocution, hanging, drowning, and in at least one case by “slamming†the dog’s body onto the concrete floor. In one session in April 2007, at least eight dogs were killed through these methods.
Vick took part in these executions along with his partners Purnell Peace, and Quanis Phillips. The indictment detailed a March 2003 incident, in which a female pit bull who had just lost a match was killed. Vick and Peace decided to kill her by “wetting the dog down with water and electrocuting her.â€
Several of the dogs seized on Vick's property were beagles, which because of their non-agressive nature are commonly used as 'bait dogs.' The helpless dogs are tied-up and torn apart by the pit bulls being trained to attack and kill other pit bulls.
Watch the video below and remember these dogs the next time you hear Vick being praised by a sports analyst, or even by the President...
