[Renew Deal]

(CNN) -- Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Michael Vick is scheduled to pledge his support Tuesday for new legislation to crack down on supporters of dog fighting.

Vick will be joined at a news conference on Capitol Hill by Wayne Pacelle, the head of the Humane Society of the United States, Vick announced on his official website.

The bill, H.R. 2492, seeks to penalize people who finance and bring children to dog fights and cock fights.
