I had no idea who Michael Vick was until sometime yesterday. He is some american football player that plays for the Atlanta Falcons? Is that right?
Then I remembered where I've seen the name and what it was connection with. This guy is a PoS. Involved in dog fighting and racketeering - not just watching it but breeding the dogs for it - and then I saw a picture on another blog of one of the dogs and the condition it was in and I was almost sick. Sports men and women are held up to be role models and this guy is (almost) as bad as a paedophile. Children and animals are helpless creatures. I've owned rescue animals myself. We take them in and we look after them but this was unbelievable.
I won't post the link to the picture I saw because (seriously) however cold-hearted you are it would be upsetting. But this guy got 5 years and a $250k fine. Pathetic.
Here's hoping that he meets some guy called Bubba in prison who wants to make him his little puppy, or better still is thrown into a ring with another prisoner to fight to the death for their entertainment. Hopefully this asshole will never ever get another job again.
