Report: Michael Vick Bought Syringes for Fighting Dogs

Mary Kay Mallonee, a reporter for the television station WAVY, has been investigating the Michael Vick dog-fighting story, and in a radio interview today, she described Vick's property as "a huge operation" where investigators found blood-soaked carpeting and wounded dogs.

And perhaps the most damaging news for Vick is that Mallonnee interviewed employees of a store near Vick's property and reported:

"There's a store nearby and the clerks there said, 'Yeah, he comes in here often to buy supplies, lots of supplies, for the dogs, including things like syringes.'"

I don't know what Vick would be doing with syringes for dogs, but I can't imagine that it would be good. There's still a lot we don't know about this case, but what we do know indicates that Vick knew a property he owned was being used as a dog-fighting compound.

Meanwhile, the Humane Society is citing Vick as well as other NFL players past and present in telling commissioner Roger Goodell that he his league has a serious problem with dog fighting and cruelty to animals. This is very bad for Vick and for the NFL.
