Truth to Power

Vick is a dick.

Indictment details extensive dogfighting operation

Losers allegedly didn’t fare too well with Michael Vick. His pit bulls were often summarily executed after losing fights, according to a federal indictment that portrays a disturbing picture of animal cruelty.

In April, just before authorities raided his property in rural Virginia, the Falcons’ star quarterback was there “rolling” some of his pit bulls – that is, putting them through test fights to see if they were “game,” federal authorities said.

Eight of the animals didn’t make the cut, and were executed by Vick and two co-defendants by “hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog’s body to the ground,” authorities allege.

A federal grand jury Tuesday indicted Vick and three others, accusing him of taking part in a well-established dogfighting operation.</em>

Hope you invested well, you sadistic prick.
