Michael Vick: The former NFL star quarterback/animal abuser pleaded guilty today to promoting dog fighting and not guilty to animal cruelty in Virginia. As part of a plea bargain, the second charge was dropped, and Vick was given a three-year suspended sentence. Vick already is serving a 23-month federal jail sentence, but now is eligible to finish it out in a halfway house. His sentence ends July 20, 2009, after which he will serve three years of probation. Let’s hope he’s learned his lesson, because Popsquire and Pam Anderson will be watching his every move!

Michael Vick’s Abused Pit Bulls Are Given A New Leash On Life
If there’s anything that upsets me as much as the abuse of innocent children or the elderly, it is the abuse of innocent animals.  I’ve done many posts here dealing with the outrages of pet/animal abuse, and it is my opinion that anyone who treats a poor creature in this manner doesn’t deserve to walk the streets free. That is why it is nice to see an article such as the one I read this morning, on the pit bulls owned by former Atlanta Falcon Michael Vick.  Michael, if you recall, was t

Michael Vick Can Not Escape The IRS in Prison

At this point, anyone who claims not to know that it's not okay to dress up in blackface is either lying to themselves or everyone else.
