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.

21. What a looser. This puts paid to the remarks by several sports commentators and the head of the NAACP that this looser recognizes what he did wrong and we should all give him another chance. Which chance number is this anyway, I think number four...he refuses to admit he killed any dog. Yet three other people say he personally killed at least two.

Oh well my only comfort is that hopefully at least he will do hard time in prison and there is honor among thieves and I don't think what this creep did will sit well with a lot of the occupants who the majority I think will want to learn him a little manners about how to treat a defenseless creature. I know child molesters don't fair well....I think he isn't much better.

If the NFL lets him back then they condone his conduct.

22. I really hope they throw the book at this poor excuse of a human being. Kick his disgusting butt out of the NFL, he doesn't deserve to play.

24. I agree with Jenni, I think he should be put to death the same way he put all those innocent animals to death. I have no remorse for an animal killer.

25. What a disgusting human being. He should go to jail for a very long time. If they let him out of jail, he should not be allowed to play football again. Kids should not be looking up to someone like him. Let him fry.

26. Ok, Mike Vick has admitted only to providing the money for the dog fighting ring. Hello!!!!!! If he had not provided the money would we be hearing about Bad Newz Kennels???? This poor excuse of a human being needs to poney up for what he did and stop making excuses. I feel everyone involved should due atleast 1 month in jail for every animal that was tortured, killed or those needing to be put down. Lastly, remember no matter what Mike Vick does now or after he does his time, he will have to answer to a higher power one day. "All Dogs go to Heaven"... Michael Vick will go to Hell.

27. I hope he understands the shame he has caused himself, his family, children, football fans and the game.

28. Smug SOB -, but even a Bitch wouldn't love this guy. Truly disgusting.

29. Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't it the running an illegal gambling business carries a more serious charge than killing an animal. Yes killing animals is bad, but they are just souless lifeforms put on earth by god for mans use whatever that use may be.

30. Souless life forms Pete Rose? What do you think humans are? We are just fancy animals and the fools that think otherwise have a very rude surprise in store when they die.
