USDA: Vick found dogfighting 'funny to watch'
Report details QB placing pets in ring vs. pit pulls, failing polygraph test

RICHMOND, Va. - Michael Vick put family pets in rings with pit bulls and thought it was funny watching the trained killers injure or kill the helpless dogs, a witness told federal investigators during the dogfighting investigation that brought Vick down.

In a 17-page report filed Aug. 28, 2008, by case agent James Knorr of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and released Friday under the Freedom of Information Act, a person identified as confidential witness No. 1 said Vick placed pets in the ring against pit bulls owned by “Bad Newz Kennels” at least twice and watched as the pit bulls “caused major injuries.”

The witness said Vick and co-defendants Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips “thought it was funny to watch the pit bull dogs belonging to Bad Newz Kennels injure or kill the other dogs.”

Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison in Dec. 2007, and is due to be released from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., on July 20, 2009. He returned to Virginia on Thursday and is being held in Hopewell pending his appearance in Surry County Circuit Court on Tuesday, where he is expected to plead guilty to two felony charges but receive a suspended sentence.

The report, which has some names and other information redacted to protect some of the parties involved, also details the killing of several dogs at property Vick owned on Moonlight Road in Surry County in mid-April 2007, just days before the first search warrant was executed on the property, turning a drug investigation into the one that sent Vick to prison.

It says Vick was administered a polygraph test by the FBI in October 2007 and denied taking part in the killing of dogs in mid-April. When told he had failed that part of the test, Vick recanted his story and admitted to helping hang six to eight underperforming dogs.

The former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, once the highest paid player in the NFL, has been suspended indefinitely by the league and his football future is uncertain. He’s also in the midst of bankruptcy proceedings with $16 million in assets and $20.4 million in liabilities.

Peace, who also was convicted in the case, said there were times he suggested that dogs unwilling to fight be given away, but that Vick said “they got to go,” meaning be killed.

The dogs were killed by shooting, hanging, electrocution and drowning, and in at least one instance, according to one of the witnesses, when Vick and Phillips killed a red pit bull by “slamming it to the ground several times before it died, breaking the dog’s back or neck.”

When he finally admitted to his role in the dogfighting operation, Vick also said he purchased his first pull bull, named “Champagne,” while a student at Virginia Tech in 1999. The dog was never used in fights, but was bred with other dogs, according to the report.

Champagne was among the 53 pit bulls seized from the home in a raid in

Look, animals can be owned. Humans cannot. Slavery is abolished is it not?

Tell me. What is the difference between a farmer killing his livestock and someone killing a dog in dog fighting? They are both getting paid for it. Is it because dogs are cute and pigs, cows, and other livestock are stupid and ugly? Man, I'm glad we don't use this logic on humans or we'd just kill mentally handicapped children when they came out of the womb..

Actually torturing and murdering animals generally is a marker for serial killers..

And trying to compare someone killing and torturing a dog for losing and killing a cow/pig for food is two different spectrum's..

You are a complete moron on this subject..

In Asia they consider dog a delicacy actually. Some places in Africa think we are crazy for eating fish. I could care less what kind of animals people want to eat, as long as they don't let it go to waste. IMO, it is wrong to kill an animal with no intention of eating it, just as Mr. Vick had done. I just don't think it warrants the attention he has received from the public.

How about you own a dog before you comment on this thread.

QFT.

He's a dumb**** of epic proportions.

BWillie, if you can't differentiate between a domesticated pet and wildlife, you're dumber than I ever imagined.

I don't believe he's in jail for killing dogs. He was sentenced for criminal conspiracy.

You wish to cite law now? Dog fighting is illegal. Seems pretty clear, no?

The next time someone has a seeing-eye pig, a guard sheep, or a bomb-sniffing cow let me know.

One of the reasons people have an emotional attachment to dogs is because they were fundamental in the development of our society. When we were nomadic hunter/killers, dogs helped people gain an advantage that they otherwise wouldn't have had. Man and dog have coexisted in a symbiotic relationship for over 10,000 years. Dogs show the kind of loyalty that you would never find in a human relationship. Dogs have willingly sacrificed their own lives to protect their owners.

So yeah, when someone finds killing them funny, people are going to be ****ing pissed about it.

No, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Always go with your gut instincts.
