Brizoke!

Filed under: Zportz > Legal Matters

vick__opt1.jpg

Jailed dog abuser Michael Vick has filed for bankruptcy protection, according to new reports.

Chapter 11 documents filed in federal court in Virginia on Monday say Vick is between $10-50 million in debt.

Those legal bills are expensive!

The former football player also cites assets in the same range.

The court documents list seven creditors, including the Falcons, Vick's old employers. The debt to the Falcons is for $3.75 million, listed as a pro rated signing bonus, but the documents state the claim is disputed.

Vick is currently serving a 23-month prison sentence in Leavenworth, Kansas, for his guilty plea in federal court to felony dogfighting charges.

His release date is July, 2009.

"He is in the process of paying his debt back to society for the federal prosecution," said Vick's attorney. "This will give him the opportunity when he gets out to start his life fresh."

Too bad those dogs don't have the same opportunity - to start their lives fresh!

    I don't have any sympathy for him. I'm glad he's broke. He had the life - money, a good job, and fame. That apparantly wasn't good enough for him - he felt the need to viciously abuse and murder innocent dogs. Fucking sick.

    Call me crazy, but this man lost his fortune over dogs. I don't agree with what he has been stripped of. I don't condone animal cruelty, but no way in hell should he have had to suffer such a tremendous financial blow. These are dogs we're talking about here! This wasn't a human life, this shouldn't have turned into a civil suit in favor of an animal that is so low on the totem pole.

    Uhhh, just so you know dumbass, all the dogs have been either adopted or put into foster care. they underwent treatment and evaluations to see if they could be saved. sadly 2 or 3 of them had to be put down from either injuries or they were too violent. but most of the dogs will also get fresh starts.

    Actually, I read an article in the WaPo that many of the dogs have been rehabilitated and are either in foster or forever homes.

    I'm NOT defending this POS, just pointing out the facts.

    The media needed someone to make an example out of. At one time, hardly anyone paid attention to animal abuse not even these so called "animal lovers" until a man with a name was associated with dog fighting. Then, here come the almighty "animal lovers" with their chimes with let him pay fines/fees and then go to jail…that will teach him. Oh and to make us more authentic or believable, lets pull out our dogs/buy dogs (mangy, malnurished mutts from what I saw on television during the trial) to aid our cause. It's a shame what people will go through to pull others down and what they will even do to keep a person there. I say jealousy is like cocaine..a hell of a drug.

    Actually, many of them DID get to start their lives fresh. Of the 49 pit bulls and pit mixes confinscated from Vick's property, only one had to be put down for being human aggressive. The rest went to santuaries or were polished up and sent into foster care, and are now finding happy homes–homes with children, cats, and other dogs. Go to badrap.org for details. These dogs have a wonderful story! And I'm sooo glad to hear that Dick, ahem, Vick is struggling. He got off too easy.

    I have no sympathy for this Son of a Bitch (no pun intended)
    And the fact that there are people out there working 2 or 3 jobs, 14-16 hour days and still not able to make ends meet. I say, when he is released, let him work off his debts by doing COMMUNITY SERVICE. I'd love to see him at the park, picking up trash and dog poop with paparazzi taking his photo. Or he could lecture at schools to young people about how no one has the right to harm innocent animals and be a living example.

    Re: mama – Your head must be under a rock if you aren't "aware" of animal cruelty…or maybe you just don't care. You sound very uneducated by opening your mouth. Maybe you should just keep it shut…or try getting involved.

    actually all you fucktards talking about the adopted dogs, and how he doesnt deserve it. I was there when they pulled the dogs, I was there when the dogs were being rescued. shitless fucks talking about PITBULLS being mean, First they are the best and most loyal breed in the world. Second this asshole went to jail for dogfighting, and inhumanelly killing a large amount of dogs. He deserves to sit in jail for that. Dogs have feelling, souls and they deserve to live. Thank God some of them got a chance to survive, becuase most of themdont. Cuz all these gangstas in Detroit and Atlanta, think they are the fucking shit by doing this. So all you morons not knowing what dog fighting really is, google and see what kind of fucked up images you will see, that will keep you up at night. MICHAEL WICK DESERVES JAIL AND BANKRUPTCY, THE ASSHOLE IS NOT SORRY FOR WHAT HE DID NOT EVEN ONE BIT. I HOPE THEY ARE DOING THE SAME TO HIM IN JAIL.

    Umm I have one of the dogs! It's true that a few (2 or 3) had to be put to sleep, but the others are great!! :)

    It wasn't just dog fighting, idiots. He also was involved in illegal gambling…big money illegal dog fights, Electrocuting the dogs. And then he perjured himself in court. He could have gotten a lighter sentence if he'd been honest.

    And, actually, there is a documented connection between animal abuse and other violent offenses against people, so if he did this to the dogs, he's likely to do it to people too.

    Lastly, to all the people who are saying that anyone who defends the dogs doesn't like people….What have you done for the starving and homeless lately?

    Re: Clear
    what gives you the right to say that dogs are lesser than humans? it does not say that anywhere in the bible or in the constitution– any legal or biblical references. you are in ignorant idiot- shut your mouth. dogs, and all other animals, have feelings, souls, hearts, brains—- shut UP

    Re: Jase – Who gives a shit? Well obviously not you, in your defense of this savage, you have failed to recognize that blacks and their hip hop culture often heroize these low life pimps who kidnap young women and bring them into the sex trade by pain of death. Maybe you should be questioning why rappers make so many jokes and seem to want to heroize these horrible people who take at risk children and teenagers and dupe them into the sex trade. Idiot. I hope you are reincarnated as a prostitute/dog.

    i think that the reason this is so bad is because dogs- and all other animals do NOT have their own voices and need others to speak out for them! thats why so much attention is being paid to this awful, disgusting man- because people need to realize that they cannot treat other living beings this way- it is gross. i cant believe he didn't get more jail time. what he did is WRONG.

  62. 62

    Re: Clear
    You do realize that a person who is capable of harming an animal is very capable of doing the same or even worse to a human right? In studies it's been proven. People like that are fueled by a hunger and when that hunger doesnt subside with killing or harming an animal they move on to bigger things - humans. Do some reserch into Jeffery Dahmer, or any serial killer. Most of them abused animals.

    good! i hope this fucker will die the same way he had killed those dogs. no. actually, i hope it will be alot worse. i hate this fucker. i hope he fucking explodes. and feels every single piece of his flesh torn away. i hope he gets buried alive… or burned alive, or better yet eaten by those dogs, alive. i hate this piece of shit. (and ithink ya'll get the point). the only way he can pay off his debt to society is by having gotten the death sentence. and even then….

    Re: lol
    i bet u dont live in the inner city, ur probobly all suburban small town rural kind of person.
    being white and having grown up as an inner city kid lowered alot of my opportunities. those minorities that live in suburban areas are alot better off. now what does that tell u? let me put it this way- growing up and living in an inner city (and alot of minorities live in inner city, thats why thats' relevant) is difficult. dreams and hopes are shattered a lot earlier and kids grow up faster. and their opportunities shrink with every blinking moment.
    so vick is just a hick in my view. i bet white trash that lives in the suburbs do the same shit as abuse/hunt animals.
