Default Michael Vick More Trouble?

Michael Vick is putting the blame on his family members for the results of a raid at his property in Virginia.
Police raided the property in Va. as part of a drug investigation and found dozens of dogs some injured. They also found items related to dog fighting.
Authorities found 66 dogs, most of them pit bulls, who appeared to be involved in fighting.
John Goodwin who handles dog -fighting issues for The Humane Society of America said they have received calls from people and his name has been kicked around about dog-fighting.
Goodwin also stated that they could never get a complete case on Vick before the raid, but what they found during the raid comes as no surprise.
To feed the dogs on a daily basis would cost over a $100 a day and Goodwin is asking who would be able to do that,that is related to the property.
People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals are asking Arthur Blank, Falcons owner to suspend Vick pending the investigation,and release him if he is found guilty of neglect or using the dogs for fighting.
A conviction in Virginia carries a prison sentence of five years and a $2500 fine.
Also note worthy is a statement Vick made in a 2002 Sporting News profile that he had a pit bull, that had already produced a litter and he was trying to start a breeding kennel.
Let me see, pit bull, litter,breeding kennel, his property Michael Vick.
Almost seems a bit overwhelming.
