Michael Vick

Using examples from his past indiscretions as a way to stop such acts in the future, Michael Vick took to Capitol Hill in Washington, DC today (July 19) to back a bill which targets both dog fighting organizers and spectators.

Accompanied by the head of Humane Society, Wayne Pacelle, as well as two U.S. representatives, the star NFL athlete called on Congress to pass H.R. 2492, a piece of legislation that would prohibit knowing attendance of organized animal fights and add additional penalties to those who bring children to such events.
