Animal tormentor Michael Vick pleaded guilty today to his dog fighting charge. The plea reduced his sentence from 3 years in prison to 4 years probation with 'good behavior.' He was also issued an additional fine of $2,500 (link).

Vick really got off easy in this case. The horror that he inflicted on dozens of animals is not easy to ignore. Unfortunately, both the courts and the NFL do find it easy; there's rumor that Vick will return to the NFL next season (link).

Vick was not only participating in cruel dog fighting he was running the whole show. Between 2001 and 2007 Vick ran 'Bad Newz Kennels' and made thousands of dollars at the expense of animals. In 2007 he was convicted of shooting, downing, hanging, electrocuting and killing dogs by slamming them down on the ground (link).

Hopefully the NFL will not allow Vick to represent the organization by playing next season.

Do you think Michael Vick served his time? Will he go back to committing animal abuse?

Michael Vick used to be a famous football star. He used to be worth $16 million . He used to make pit bulls fight each other to their death while he and his buddies watched (link).

Oh, how the times have changed.

Michael Vick is currently serving time in prison for his long history of animal abuse and the judge has ordered him to spend some of his millions on services to care for the dogs that were rescued from his operation. But don't worry Vick, you can earn some of that money back. Newser reports today that Vick's new job in prison pays 12 cents an hour. That's sure gonna help with those legal fees.

I know I shouldn't gloat, but justice is so sweet when it's actually served (link).
