Vick's fighting dogs face being put down

As part of its investigation into Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, the government seized dozens of animals from Vick’s Virginia property. Now investigators have asked animal behavior experts to examine about 50 seized pit bulls. They want to know whether the dogs – which were used for fighting – are adoptable, or whether they should be put to sleep. The evaluations are expected to take about three weeks. Vick pleaded guilty today to dog fighting.

More on Vick's statement is here.
