AKC STATEMENT ON MICHAEL VICK GUILTY PLEA IN
>
> DOG FIGHTING CASE
>
>
>
> New York, NY - In response to reports earlier today that Atlanta Falcons
> Quarterback Michael Vick has reached a deal with prosecutors and will
> plead guilty to crimes associated with dog fighting, the American Kennel
> Club(r) has issued the following statement from AKC's Chairman of the
> Board, Ron Menaker:
>
>
>
> "While we are pleased to hear that the Vick case is being settled
> through the criminal justice system, we remain concerned that the
> punishment will be inadequate considering the heinous nature of the
> crimes. Furthermore, we hope that the National Football League will
> continue its own investigation into claims that dog fighting is
> commonplace among players. The League has an opportunity-and a moral
> obligation-to investigate and punish other NFL players who may have
> knowledge of, or who may be involved in, these atrocious acts of animal
> cruelty. The AKC constituency, NFL fans, and the dog-loving American
> public will be watching closely.
>
>
>
> This story is distressing and brings up intense emotions in all of us,
> yet there is a potential 'silver lining.' It is creating a national
> dialogue about dog fighting, illegal in all 50 states and a felony in
> 48, yet often at the bottom of the priority list in terms of crimes that
> authorities investigate and pursue. Hopefully the Vick case will serve
> as a beacon and bring more forces to bear on preventing and prosecuting
> this behavior.
>
>
>
> Another issue which this case brings to light is breed-specific
> legislation. As municipalities around the country seek to address the
> issue of dangerous dogs, they often turn to this type of narrow and
> misguided legislation which bans the ownership of certain breeds. AKC,
> along with many other respected animal welfare organizations, has been
> beating the drum for many years about the inefficacy of this type of
> legislation. As demonstrated in the Vick case, those perpetuating these
> crimes are not your average law-abiding pet owners. They use dogs as
> menacing weapons, as entertainment in a blood sport, and as a prop to
> sustain their "bad boy" image. Breed-specific legislation spreads the
> dangerous misconception that the dogs are at fault. The reality is that
> they are the victims, manipulated by 'owners' to fulfill malicious
> purposes.
>
>
>
> On behalf of all dog lovers, I urge both law enforcement authorities and
> law makers to recognize the many lessons that can be learned from this
> tragic case."
