Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Another article on Yahoo said there was a "rape stand" found for mating the pitbull females - it sounds really awful.

| Ugh. That disgusts me. Celebrities and the wealthy can do so much to advocate animal rescue and welfare, but instead they do this.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | His money better NOT get him off. All I can say is I hope the courts GO AFTER HIM with all they can and MAN ....someone with more money than most of us will ever see has to resort to TORTURE to get MORE money ? They're ALL sick and all involved should be charged and made to pay heavy heavy fines to aid Shelter Dogs AND get jail time. Those poor dogs. |

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | i just got his from the Human Society of the United States: https://community.hsus.org/humane/no...er_id=11740930 read it and sign it if you wish. This type of behavior from so called celebrities and sports icons should be punished even more so because these are the people that children look up to. What kind of sick example are they setting for kids today? They can be using their status for preventing these types of things instead they are promoting animal cruelty.... makes me sick

| This infuriates me and breaks my heart at the same time. Those poor dogs. I heard on the radio where the dogs who lost fights would be electrocuted and tortured. How would Mike Vick like it if he was treated that way everytime he lost a football game? I hope he gets the maximum sentence and that his money doesn't get him off.

| Kalina, thanks for the link! Yes, LovemyJake, he was beating, drowning and electrocuting dogs! He is a sick man, and I hope that he is nailed for this! I love pits, and think they get a bad wrap, and people like Vick just make that stereotype all the worse.

| This makes me so mad. At most he will get 6 yrs in jail, which is not nearly enough. I'm afraid he won't just get any time in jail and just community service which is not nearly enough. A "rape stand" is used to breed pit bulls when they are so trained to fight that they can't even overcome the urge to fight when its time to breed. When training pits, they don't really "hang" them by their teeth. What it is, is they have a device called a "springpole" that is a rope with a biting device hanging from a pole. The pits then jump up to get the biting device and hang from it, trying to pull it from the ground. My pittie who has never been trained to fight and will never be, LOVES spring poles. I didnt even know what one was, but she used to use a playground rope and do the same. Thats when I found out what they were.
