But a Federal Grand Jury indicting you is one thing vs. local po-po rolling up in the house busting you for illegal activities...

There would have been neighborhood complaints just due to the nighttime noise ordinances during these alleged "dog fights".

And it is not about 2 male dogs fighting to the death. It is a matter of improper disposal of carcases that breeds maggots and flies among several other things. Not to mention brutal fight wounds exposing both the jugular vein and the carotid artery--which means there was a large sum of blood--which means that makes it a "biohazard"... Moreover, I KNOW he did not have a licensed veterinarian, so pain and distress was NEVER allieviated with Bunoproprine or other vet cleared NSAIDS relievers. And special K is a controlled substance.

The breeding requires a 2-3 dog per kennel max with hay. Only 1 litter per breeding, with special Purina breeder chow for dogs... And kennel changing out occurs 2-3 per week. Moreover, all dogs MUST have strong environmental enrichement due to their social behavior. No matter if Pit Bulls are psycho or not, the fact is if you DON'T walk them or let them play, YOU WILL make them go crazy...

Now, I know Vick may be a dog lover and breed them. But I skeeriousllllyyyy doubt he was following AVMA guidelines, much less AKC or Pit Bull club guidelines.

The other issue is he crossed these "questionably illegal" animals over State Lines... Pit Bulls are illegal in SOME states. That means to me he lacked knowledge of the permits, licensure and papers. Whether he actually did it himself of that was his business, his issue was HE was ultimately responsible for the health and welfare of the dogs. And that is SPCA requirements...

He dayum lucky he was not a researcher because he would have been crucified...

It does make me wonder though, some of these things that are happening to him--was he set up for this fall from grace?
