The dogs that Michael Vick “allegedly” had fighting will most likely be put down, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

“Officials from our organization have examined some of these dogs and, generally speaking, they are some of the most aggressively trained pit bulls in the country,” Wayne Pacelle, the president and chief executive of the Humane Society of the United States, said in a telephone interview Tuesday. “Hundreds of thousands of less-violent pit bulls, who are better candidates to be rehabilitated, are being put down. The fate of these dogs will be up to the government, but we have recommended to them, and believe, they will be eventually put down.”

So there you have it: The dogs they’re mad that Michael Vick was killing are going to be euthanized, anyway.

That said, the humane society will probably find a less severe method to put down the pups; of course, it’s not a very difficult task when your competition is hanging, beating or electrocuting the poor things. Skinning them alive almost looks peaceful.
