The "experts" on whatever show you were listening to didn't know WTF they were talking about. Vick's sentence was mid-range of the sentencing guidelines. Considering he was the leader of a dogfighting organization, he probably got off with a light sentence.
In VA Dogfighting is a Class 6 Felony with a max sentence of 5 years and $ 2,500 fine.
