Michael Vick, humane society team up over 'dog wars' app
Professional football player Michael Vick has joined with the Humane Society to condemn a new cell phone application featuring fighting dogs.
The "Dog Wars" app, designed to run on Google's Inc.'s Android software, allows players to condition, train and fight virtual dogs.
Vick, a Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, was given an 18-month sentence in 2007 for involvement in a dog-fighting ring. Since his release, Vick has helped an anti-dogfighting campaign run by The Humane Society of the United States.
"I've come to learn the hard way that dog fighting is a dead-end street," Vick said in a joint statement with the Humane Society issued on Monday.
