The federal government is preparing to dispose of most of the dogs seized from Michael Vick's Surry County property during its investigation into a dogfighting operation.

The fate of the 53 pit bulls will rest with a federal judge. Animal rights groups have suggested that the dogs be euthanized because they have been trained to be fighters, not pets.

1. Sadly, that's about all that can be done to brutalized animals

that were trained for aggression. The only alternative is for them to live out their lives isolated in cages, terrible for pack animals like dogs.

Puppies younger than about 2 weeks have a chance. Older puppies will not be fully socialized.

2. Shame on anyone who raises dogs like that.

What a waste of life.

3. I don't know what else could be done with those poor animals

Killing is all they know.

I wish there were even more charges that could be brought against the responsible parties for the death of these animals.
