Michael Vick was an NFL quarterback who was highly involved in illegal dog fighting. He spent over $5,000 per dog and had about 2,000 pitbulls that he trained and forced to fight each other for gambling purposes. Vick was convicted of felony dog fighting charges and received a light punishment, including only serving 18 months in prison, despite the crime being a felony in most states and carrying a maximum sentence of 6 years. Many criticized the special treatment Vick received due to his celebrity status as an NFL star.
