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

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.

And oxen also had a fundamental value in developing this nation. They carried wagons full of people and meat across the nation to the West. Helped farmers plod crops. So, that argument is nixed. I would also like to bring up sled dogs. Most people would argue that they are made/trained for that type of event, but then you could also say that the dogs used for fighting were made/trained for that type of sport. Dogs will always be loved in this country, to a point more than humans, so there's no point in debating. I am an owner of three dogs.

Uh, your point is nixed.

JFC.

What a bunch ****ing nonsense.

Man, I should go to prison for 2 years.

Look, I'm not saying what Mike Vick did was right. I just don't understand how EVERYBODY is freaking out because he killed an animal. If you eat meat, have ever hunted, then you are a hypocrite plain and simple.

Personally I'm more concerned that the issue of underground gambling. If people want to be upset, they should be upset about that. I don't really understand why gambling is illegal in the first place, but that is a whole another story. Gambling is just a tax on stupid people. Everything in life is a gamble. Whether to buy a house, invest in the stock market, put money in a risky business venture, etc.

Your obviously not getting the point. Shooting a deer is different that drowning a dog, or slamming it on the ground repeatedly until it died.


There is absolutely no need for that to be done to any living creature, what so ever.

Hmm..if I was shot in the gut. Left to bleed for 3 days, or slammed to the ground repeatedly for a few minutes by a giant before I died. I don't really think I would be able to distinguish the difference. I'd still be fucking dead. In fact, I may actually prefer the being slammed to the ground until death than bleeding to death.

It doesn't matter. He's not in jail for killing dogs.

Vick is one sick puppy.

If you can't kill something with one shot, you shouldn't be hunting.

one shot... one kill.

sorry. Deer Hunter was on HBO last night.

I agree with BWillie. Two years in prison for killing a dog is freakin' insane.

I was raised on a farm. Believe you me, I killed pigs when they were runts, old, or were born with birth defects. And I didn't do it with a gun either. Blunt blows to the head. I didn't enjoy doing it, but it had to be done.

Now I understand the difference between that and what Vick did. Apparently he seemed to get his jollys from it. But how do you prove his intent beyond a reasonable doubt.

Now if you want to send him to jail for dog fighting (which I believe is only illegal due to gambling laws, not animal cruelty)---fine (even though I don't agree with that either). But sending man to jail for two years for killing any animal when we have legal HUMAN killing in this country is just about as hypocritical and backwards as human thought can get.


Disclaimer,
If you happen to belive both practices are immoral and wrong, good for you. I don't necessarily agree, but at least you are consistent.
