Two of Michael Vick’s co-Defendant’s are talking, and it isn’t looking good for the football star:
Two co-defendants of Michael Vick say the NFL star helped execute dogs that didn’t fight well, according to federal court documents.
The court papers, filed as Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace pleaded guilty to dogfighting charges Friday, said all three men “executed approximately 8 dogs that did not perform well in ‘testing’ sessions” in April of this year.
Vick’s co-defendants also stipulated that the money behind the Bad Newz Kennels dogfighting operation came “almost exclusively” from the Atlanta Falcons star.
Federal prosecutors had given Vick until 9 a.m. ET Friday to accept a plea deal that would require him to spend at least one year in prison on federal dogfighting conspiracy charges, reports say, but there was no immediate word on what he decided.
Vick’s acceptance of the recommendation, described by The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in Norfolk, Virginia, must receive court approval.
If the 27-year-old Vick rejects the deal, he will face an additional charge under the federal Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO, a source with knowledge of the investigation told the newspaper.
If Vick doesn’t accept the plea deal, he is officially an idiot.

Michael Vick deserves a minimum of 25 years in prison and I pray his cell mate is a dog lover.

Michael Vick is a DISGUSTING human being. He is ruthless and sadistic. I hope he gets the Maximum sentence, I hope the NFL never allows him to play on a professional football field again. I PRAY that his cell mate will be an animal lover and he will learn all about the “rape stand” first hand.

and regarding the executions of the “underperforming” dogs, perhaps Mr. Vick should be hanged and electrocuted - just a little. Then the rape stand or let some of those poor dogs at him for 20 seconds while his accomplices watch the day before their trials.

Vick should absolutely be dropped from the NFL, incarcerated and heavily fined for the egregious animal abuse and cruelty he has been perpetuating at his residence in Atlanta. He took innocent APBT puppies amd shot them up with drugs, gave them small animals for food and blood to drink. He trained them to be agressive–his dogs were punished and beaten unless they fought until their death.
The puppies that didn’t want to be fight, since it is not in their nature–he termed as “underperforming.” He then proceeded to kill these docile pups by hanging, drowning, and mutilating.
Vick is a ruthless, brutal murderer and doesn’t belong in our society. He requires psychotherapy and jail time to pay for his deplorable acts, in my opinion.

I think you’re a piece of s.it. Animals are the one form of a being that doesn’t judge us but loves us and they’re loyal- even more loyal than your mother, but she might be a dog, who knows. I fuc.ed a dog once, It must have been your mom..
you are loyal to the cause of being a huge fuc.ing as.hole that, thank God - or whom ever you pretend to worship( maybe your small dick) cause God would kill you if he wasn’t a Christian ( and from my friend - she don’t like God but I am sure he loves her more than you could love anything, besides your mother, cause shes black.. or a guy… I don’t know cause u are an as.hole.
(From my side…) I think you have a sick mentality, even beyond those as.hole you call your dumb God, and even though I am not a Christian or a believer in God, i know that animals were not created for the pleasure of you fu.king them up as you like. FU.K YOU!!!
That was my friends opinion. She will see you in hell and you will lose!!
And, as for me, once again, you suck more than your dads dic.!
Hope you burn!!!!!!!!

Whoa!!! I second that!!

I am horrified by the details of dogfighting - dogs tortured, beaten, starved, maimed, electrocuted, drowned, etc. People involved in this crime have serious, intense psychological problems, and need to be helped immediately so that they may not kill again. I am glad to know that Michael Vick’s crimes are being taken seriously by the public - there is no excuse for animal cruelty.
Where do we go from here? People around the world will be celebrating and honoring animals on World Animal Day, October 4, 2007. For more information, or, if you would like to post a prayer for animals born into the cruel and inhumane world of dogfighting, please visit our site.
Thank-you!

To Ex Fan, Elizabeth, Lee, AC, Gina, God and Annabell. You guys are unreal and shocking. As a pet owner, whose dog, whom I love like my chid, was recently attacked by a uprovoked pit bull, I could never even breathe the words of such hatred to the dog’s owner. While I am VERY frustrated and angered, my dog (child) did survive the attack, and I am still dealing with an irresponsible pet owner. BUT I DO NOT HATE THE OWNER in such a way to literally crucify her….besides what would my hatred solve! However, it is about THE INDIVIDUAL….you guys make that PERFECTLY CLEAR. Perhaps it would make it me bitter like many of you appear to be, but again to treat a human as less than such is INHUMANE AND UNFATHOMABLE?
YES, I am upset with Michael and believe what has been alleged he did is HORRIFIC and DOWN RIGHT TERRIBLE, but he is still human. Futhermore, that is why we have DUE PROCESS….regardless of whether or not it supports our personal interests and beliefs. Perhaps within close range, you’d all love to take him out, and perhaps that would ease your misery and hatred?
Fortunately, we have choices, either we don’t pay to see Mike EVER PLAY AGAIN, don’t EVER SUPPORT any team that may decide to hire Michael and/or keep on living with such bitterness. But again to say what you have said ABOUT ANY HUMAN black, white, gold or green, look youselves in the mirror and be okay with yourselves….WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT YOU? I hope that your unbelievable BITTERNESS and HATRED doesn’t cause you to miss out on something far better for you. Perhaps you too should take a little trip to “MORAL JAIL and check yourselves and YOUR DISTORTED BELIEFS…MY GOD, HELP YOU ALL AND SAVE US FROM Y-O-U!
