The dog that survived Michael Vick and his buddies are going to come to a better end than their lost doggie brothers.
From CNN
(CNN) — All but one of the dogs seized in the Michael Vick dog fighting case will be placed with families or put in a “sanctuary,” where they will interact with people to overcome their fear and lack of socialization, according to court order filed Monday.One of the 49 seized dogs “has a history biting humans” and will be euthanized, according to a motion filed in Virginia in U.S. District Court.
This story continues.
U.S. Attorney Chuck Rosenberg said the dog — identified as number 2621 — “exhibited intense aggression to humans to the point where the evaluation could not safely be completed.”The recommendation came more than a month after the court ordered the dogs evaluated by U.S. Department of Agriculture contractors.
Last month a team of animal behavior experts selected by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals analyzed the dogs, and then recommended whether they were best suited with families, trained as police dogs, placed in a sanctuary or euthanized.
Federal authorities anticipate recommending a guardian be appointed to oversee the placement of the other dogs.
Michael Vick can be happy that he’s met a better fate than his dogs.

It truly is sad that Vick gets off with a fine and some jail time when he has caused so much pain and emotional damage to these defenseless animals. We are their guardians and he betrayed them. Shame on him for using them for his own gain and sick pleasure. I feel stronly about this fact, Vick has far less value to this world than any one of the dogs he has so inhumanely treated.
