Previously I have written about the Michael Vic case (see: Put an END to ANIMAL FIGHTING....) well he was just convicted and sentenced to 23 months in jail for his involvement in dog fighting; its been a while since I looked at this case but I do recall he killed the dogs that did not show enough fighting spirit, or the ones that lost matches; he did not just shoot them, he drowned them, hung them and electrocuted them.
The maximum for this crime was supposedly 5 years, I wonder what would have warranted the 5 years but either way this sends the right message to Vic and others like him.
