Vick and co. still have state charges to deal with, and there has been no plea bargain with the state.

While I too love pitties and hate people that commit acts of animal cruelty, I have to commend the justice system for the sentance. If it sticks, I cannot think of anyone that has received this long of a sentance for animal cruelty. (Mind you I am in Canada and am not familiar with American law.) I have to think that most of this sentance is to punish Vick more for taking part in a gambling operation than participating in cruelty against innocent dogs. I hope Vick is not just being used as an example because of his celebrity status, but that he is just the first of many animal abusers brought to justice. Regardless, I am pleased and I can only hope that this sad situation serves to shed more light on not only dog figting but ALL animal cruelty. Now, if only some of those puppy mill owners would receive similar sentances... then I would be VERY happy!

Just 23 months? People do less time that that for killing other humans. I think the punishment was pretty strong, and hopefully it will serve as a deterrent to others. And lets not forget the fact that it has also cost him his career (literally 100's of millions of dollars).

To paraphrase a certain TV judge football fades dumb is forever

I have no problem thinking that this crime will cost him his career. People that abuse animals rarely stop with 4 legged creatures.
