The dog bites man column

AND YOU thought dog eat dog was an expression.

In the last few days it’s emerged that Michael Vick, a top American football quarter-back with the Atlanta Falcons, is facing jail time because of his involvement with an illegal dog-fighting ring in the United States.

Vick may have to go to prison for five years due to his involvement with the illegal fights, which are alleged to have taken place on property owned by him, though some witnesses have suggested he’s far more proactive than simply hosting the fights.
