The photo above is supposedly one of Michael Vick’s dogs. Now I have been raising Bully Breeds for over 20 years. Specifically American Pit Bull Terriers. From the above photo I can conclude that particular dog has not been used for fighting. That pup is a light colored pup any scaring would be visable immediately. The pups ears are in great shape (another area often damaged in a dog fight) and have not been cropped for fighting. The position the dog is in is the normal I surrender position. Both of my pups go down in that position when they are surrending to me or a member of the family.

I do notice one tiny mark on the pups rear right leg. Nothing alarming. Could be caused by anything. A fighting dog would have more wounds and scars. I also notice that the pup has soft eyes not fighting eyes.

My heart goes out to all 66 pups. Regardless of whether they were used for fighting or not. Now their lives will be cut short.

Fighting dogs can be rehabilated, although a lengthy and time consuming process. It can be done. I know several people that have done it and some that are in the process of doing it. Granted most of these rehabilated pups can only be in single dog households, they all do wonderful with adults & children.

Just my two sense.

Also, if there is such a “lack of evidence” in this case, then why are the dogs going to be euthanized? If there isn’t enough evidence to prove there really WAS dogfighting going on, why is it still enough evidence to justify the killing of all the dogs?

It’s just another sickening example of breed prejudice. The dogs always wind up paying for the sins of the cruel, despicable monsters that exploit them.

There’s plenty of evidence that suggests Vicks is, indeed guilty and he is no doubt scum.

But until he’s proven guilty, he has an inalienable right to be assumed innocent.

What right does the state have to destroy the property of innocent people?
