i also think its pathetic that as a society no one really gave a shit about dog fighting until a big name celebrity was involved. as long as it was our neighborhood thugz and drug dealers doing it no one cared.
if you watch animal planet and watch their show pet detectives someone is caught dog fighting almost every show and i rarely see it on the news.

i guess it just drives me nuts that it seems no one cares about anything until a celebrity is involved. last year around this time there was a multi million dollar cocaine bust that i think they said like 75 percent of the cocaine that comes to the east coast goes through, like 20 miles from my house and it was on the news for maybe 30 seconds. lindsay lohan gets caught with a little bit of coke and is drunk and i bet if i turn on cnn, fox news, or even E that ill see her on there. so stupid!!

oh and roy jones junior has been a major player in **** fighting for years and no one cares.

k im done had to get that off my chest.

i do agree that when somebody big is caught doing something the media blows it up. and i do hate that. gets boring after a day of the news. but there are people that do care about dog fighting and thats the ones that own and love pitbulls and other dogs of that sort. but after thinking about it for a min i like to see people get away with things just b/c the system has been fuking america over for years but at the same time i think its the wrong people fuking the system over and getting away with the wrong things.

bottom line is that it is all in how you raise the dog in how it will turn out. Any animal can be taught to do anything. Pits have the hardest time b/c they are very strong. But in reality, pits love their owners so much, that they will do anything to please them. So when a dog is taught to fight, that is what it does!
AS far as vick goes, if he is indeed found guilty, which it is looking that way, then i hoipe he rots. If not, then hey, more power to him, but i hope someone takes the rap for this, b/c dog fighting is illegal, and inhumane, and should be punished to the full extent of the law.

Finally! Well put

\ thread.

Beautiful dogs btw. Careful though I hear they are killers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

bump for vicks punk *** looking real real guilty. I assume everyone heard that one of his boys pleaded guilty, and confessed that when vick was away playing foorball, that he funded the whole opperation, and made appearances at numerous fights. I'm really starting to dislike this guy.

I'll dig up a link.

According to the summary of facts filed with the court on Monday, Taylor said that he and the other three co-defendants, including Vick, decided to start a dogfighting venture in early 2001 and that Vick paid for the property in Smithfield, Virginia, used for the operations.The four launched the venture, Bad Newz Kennels, in early 2002, Taylor said.

In the court documents, Taylor says that he, Phillips and Peace "executed" dogs that did not "perform well in 'testing' " sessions, but does not mention Vick as having participated in the executions.

He does, however, say that Vick accompanied the other three co-defendants to dogfights in other states on at least four occasions, and that the quarterback sponsored dogs in fights at his property on several other occasions, all between 2002 and 2004.

Taylor said he left the dogfighting operation in September 2004 "following a disagreement with Phillips."
