"Atlanta Falcons officials said they were troubled by the charges against star quarterback Michael Vick, who faces up to six years in prison if he is found guilty of involvement in a dogfighting ring . . .
According to the indictment, dogs that didn't show enough fighting spirit, or that lost matches, were put to death by a variety of methods, including shooting, drowning, hanging and electrocution. Prosecutors allege that on one occasion earlier this year, Vick participated in killing eight dogs . . .
If convicted of both portions of the conspiracy charge, Vick could face six years in prison and a $350,000 fine, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia . . ."

this kind of crap makes me sick. anyone who would do this should be tried "by a variety of methods, including shooting, drowning, hanging and electrocution." the 6 years in prison/$350,000 fine maximum punishment is no where near as harsh as it should be. and we all know he won't get fired by the falcons, fined by the nfl, or go to jail. at worst, he'll get a $50,000 fine for his association. the nfl should ban him and he should be sentenced to life in prison, along with the rest of the group. i hope the aspca is all over this one.
