Gee, what do ya think they want with the dogs?

These aren’t humane groups- they are BREEDERS

What do you think National American Pit Bull Terrier Association does and supports?

And look up how UKC got its start- registering fighting dogs.

This is how the breeding and fighting go on. All those so-called advocacy groups that protect the breeding

They want big buckos to promote the breeding. And the breedding keeps the fighting going.

As one pit bull breeder said after his dogs were discovered in the fighting racket, “oh, I can’t control what happens to them after I sell them”

(And as far as badrap goes, the breeders say badrap represents what they want. What gives?)

1. “(T)he groups want Hudson to seize Vick’s property and force him to pay $500,000 to transform it into a no-kill shelter for abused and neglected dogs.”

2. “The advocacy groups also asked that Vick be fined $250,000 – the maximum allowed for his charge – to support a public education campaign against dog fighting.”

3. “The dog advocacy groups said that every pit bull kept as a pet becomes a victim of the stereotype that the media puts on these dogs.”

The “no-kill shelter” idea should be re-imagined as an AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIER* evaluation, rehabilitation, and education center. The east coast Bad Rap (www.badrap.org), if you will, but on a much, much larger scale.

[I’m not sure if “no-kill” could remain a feasible practice for such an organization, one which could very quickly - probably within hours - be inundated with pit bull type dogs needing evaluation, training, and rehoming.]

Judge Hudson is a very fair judge whose judgments are not known to result in later appeals. He’s also known to be harsh when called for.

With the collateral motion filed by these groups he should come away with the idea that multiple organizations have agreed to the same suggested rulings. No human rights orgs have come forward to “save” Vick [to my knowledge]. This should tell Judge Hudson how ethical people feel about the crimes.

have they not been following the case? the ASPCA and others are evaluating the dogs and the judge already said Vick had to pay for all costs related to the dogs’ care. that would include rehab costs.
