Celebrity Justice
Vick: I Was Part of a Group That Killed Dogs

TMZ has obtained the plea agreement in the Michael Vick case. In it, Vick "admits the facts set forth in the statement of facts."

A portion of the summary of facts reads "Vick agreed to the killing of approximately 6-8 dogs that did not perform well in testing sessions ..." It continues, "All of those dogs were killed by various methods, including hanging and drowning."

The plea agreement reads, "the defendant agrees to forfeit all interests in any and all dogs involved (in) an animal fighting venture that the defendant owns or over which the defendant exercises control ... including but not limited to the approximately 54 pit bulldogs recovered from the residence ... "

The agreement also states that Vick will plead guilty to charges of conspiracy and sponsoring a dog in an animal fighting venture. He's also admitted to providing funding for dog food, medicine and purse fees for dog fighting competitions.

Vick could face up to 5 years in prison along with a substantial fine.

181. he should be hanged for what he did. dog fighting is horrible. killing the animal for not being able to do what you want it to do is unforgivable. the nfl should kick him out and never let him in again.

182. I also think it's interesting that animal activists are saying the only humane thing to do with the dogs "rescued" from Vick's place is to have them euthanized. these dogs can't possibly be pets...they're just a ticking time bomb. Isn't that what Vick did in the first place? If the dogs can't fight, they have to be killed.

183. let the punishment fit the crime. This is easy, it involves tying him up, enhancing with steak sauce, and several hungry pitbulls.

184. Lane Garrison kills a child (17 year old) and gets about 90 days (perhaps longer) .........

This celeb kills dogs and gets up to 5 years?

Do I believe he'll serve it? NOPE, but it's insulting to the parents of the child killed in Lane's accident.

185. I live in ATL and I am a fan of the Falcons, but if they allow this piece of crap to play again I will not even be a fan of the NFL - PERIOD! And as a proud member of The Humane Society of the UNITED STATES, I will also not have ANYTHING to do with anything he is associated with - PERIOD! HE SUCKS!!!!!!!

186. I think Vick should also he held responsible for the destruction of those 54 dogs that his company mentally damaged to the point they will need to be destroyed.

But that's actually my second choice. Number one... dip him in bacon fat. Lock him in a room with those 54 dogs. About 24 to 48 hours should do the trick. Dogs love bacon.

188. The only possitive thing that can come from this horrible act is that we "collectivly" do all we can to erase this cruelty from our planet. I find it very difficult to imagine how anyone can be so mean!

190. HE IS A SICK INDIVIDUAL. MOST SERIAL KILLERS STARTED OFF KILLING AND TORTURING ANIMALS, WHO SAYS HE WON'T KILL PEOPLE NEXT?
I WISH SOMEONE WOULD DO THE SAME THING TO HIM THAT HE DID TO THE DOGS.
IF HE LOST A GAME, WOULD HE LIKE HIS COACH TO HANG OR DROWN HIM?
HE IS A SOUL-LESS, NON-HUMAN, EVIL BEING.
PITBULLS ARE ACTUALLY SOME OF THE SWEETEST DOGS THERE IS, THEY JUST GET RAISED BY SICK, EVIL PEOPLE THAT ABUSE THEM UNTIL THEY ARE SO SCARED THAT THEY BECOME AGRESSIVE.
I AM A PROUD OWNER OF TWO WONDERFUL PITBULLS. THEY SLEEP IN THE SAME BED AS MY TWO CATS AND GET ALONG PERFECTLY FINE WITH THEM.
PITBULLS JUST GET THE BAD REP WHEN IT'S THE PEOPLE THAT RUIN THEM THAT SHOULD. PEOPLE LIKE MICHAEL VICK RUIN IT FOR ALL THE DOGS AND PEOPLE THAT LOVE THEM. HE SHOULD BE LOCKED UP FOR LIFE.

191. AND TO GimmeABreak: MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. I HATE HUNTING AND I AM VERY MUCH AGAINST THAT TOO. I DON'T EAT ANY MEAT AND ALL MY PETS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED FROM A SHELTER. I ALSO DONATE MONEY TO THE HUMANE SOCIETY AND OTHER ANIMAL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS.
I AM NOT ONLY UPSET ABOUT THIS, I HATE ALL ANIMAL CRUELTY.
BUT IT IS EXTREMELY SICK AND WRONG TO TORTURE AND KILL DOGS, WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE OUR COMPANIONS AND FRIENDS. AND DOG FIGHTING GOES BEYOND JUST TORTURING THE FIGHTING DOGS, THEY ALSO STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S DOGS AND USE THEM AS BATE, WHICH IS LIKE STEALING SOMEONE'S FAMILY MEMBER. IT GOES WAY BEYOND ANIMAL CRUELTY.
