Michael Vick's public service announcements need to get a little more airplay in Florida.

Orange County officials arrested a 10 and 12-year-old boy Wednesday for allegedly organizing dog fights. And it was their mother who told police to haul them to jail.

The boys are charged with cruelty to animals, according to WESH.

The kids were caught trying to bury a dead pitbull in the back yard of one of their houses and when deputies asked why they did it, the answer was almost as disturbing as the act.

The boys said they had watched dogfighting on YouTube and decided to try it for themselves.

Authorities also found two caged dogs who appeared to suffer injuries from the dog fighting.

In the police report, a woman at the home identified as the boys' mother said she wanted them to go to jail because they needed to learn a lesson, much like Vick.
