USDA, A Quarterback and Fighting Dogs
I always like finding an excuse to report some sports news. But this isn't on-the-field news, nor is it very pleasant. The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the Agriculture Department has gotten involved in the investigation of possible dogfighting in a Virginia house owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. Up until now, it had been strictly a local investigation. At first Vick said he's "never at the house," and that he simply provided it to family members. Now he's not commenting at all.
In a search conducted in connection with a drug probe involving Vick's cousin Davon Boddie, law enforcement officers discovered nearly 70 dogs on the property, including five with scars and other injuries, the paper reported.
