A friend just called me and said the search warrant was executed and 30 pitbull carcasses were found on Vick's property and 7 live pitbulls that weren't there during the original seizure. Bloody carpet, pry bars (to open dog's mouth after they kill the other dog) and syringes, etc., that would be involved in dogfighting was found.

NFL security has now announced, duh?, that they will assist in the investigation.

An insider "dogfighter" reported day before yesterday that Vick is one of the "big boys" in pitbull fighting. Said that he bets $20-30k on fights and that his dog had beaten Vick's dog once. Said Vick was right there at all the fights. This informant has led the Humane Society to open up several investigations before this and all the stories check out.

I am beyond estatic that the "big boys" will be brought down in this. This is a huge break for pitbulls and animal lovers/human beings everywhere.

Of course, the rabid sportswriters are defending him til the end. Saying that just because all of this was on his property no one can prove his involvement???????????????? And I have an island in Arizona for sale. xoxoxo Pat

People will believe what they want to believe, Pat.

Personally, I haven't cared for him since I attended Tech during his years there. I have friends helped him through his classes.

Never care for him, nor his brother. Acorn, tree, all that.

I doubt his jersey will be removed from the Hokie walls - he did a lot of good things for the university, but I'm glad he's showing his true colors now.

(Dennis Rodman and I attended the same college...different periods, but still and I don't take anything away from his play..it was the wedding dress that did me in..... )

that is so sickening. I hope he loses his job in the nfl! of courser me being in Ga this is all we are hearing lately is about this jerk

[sabby]

Jail time would be too good for the swine

i'm not getting cooperation here on the local level on the dogfights.......the night that we were scheduled, they called it off.......soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, who thinks i should just skip them and call in the big guns.....SPCA or The American Humane Society. both are waiting to hear from me. in Houston.......

This upsets me so much but it is good news that they're closing the place down. ((((((((Pat))))))))))

[bebop]

I would call spca if I were you. forget the cops! spca can call and the cops will go with them.

i think it's best to circumvent the good ole boys here. the county control officer is only interested in horses or cows. won't make dog calls at all.........

[bebop]

he needs a new job!

yeah, he probably has a stake in the dogfights. i'm amazing at how many times i've found law enforcement to be involved in that and cockfighting........a deputy "outted" me in Oklahoma and i had the chase of a lifetime on back country dirt roads. good thing that i drive a truck with a big motor and i grew up on dirt roads.........

here is part of a blog that talks about the "silly" trouble that Vick finds himself in..........we have a lot of educating to do in the US when it comes to cruelty.

"We keep hearing about the influence of their entourages or their posses, so much so that it raises a question that should be familiar to many pro athletes: How do you deal with your friends from the old neighborhood? Some would say that players such as Vick and Jones are better served by cutting ties and moving on. I'm going to argue a different point, however. They don't have to lose their friends. They have to handle them better.

Of course, we're not talking about just any NFL players. We're talking about those who come from the types of disadvantaged backgrounds that Vick and Jones know all too well. They're the ones who usually face the toughest decisions when it comes to dealing with their friends because it's often their friends who end up creating many of their problems.

In the case of Vick, who is dealing with allegations of his involvement in dog fighting, many people believe his friends have become enablers who make it easy for Vick to fall into the silly troubles that have plagued him recently."
