Pardon me while I squeal and love on my Biffle.
Biffle goes off on Michael Vick.
"Just put him in prison and tell the general public, just give them all the details of what they do with those dogs," Biffle said. "How they steal people's dogs out of their front yards and use them for bait dogs and let other dogs kill them. There's all the horrifying stories. You look at all the pictures on the Internet of the dogs, just maimed, mangled. It's horrible."
My sister has a white boxer. When Maddie disappeared a while back, my first thought was that she'd been taken to be a bait dog. We actually called the cops, just in case that was the situation. A neighbor of theirs did have a dog (a pug) that was taken to be a bait dog.
And on some message board I was looking at (about this article), a girl proceeds to compare dog fighting to the way circus animals are treated and says that Vick is being targeted because he's black. And then proceeds to ask why dog fighting can't be legal if cock fighting is. *headdesk* I got so pissed. Because there are PLENTY of times that black men are targeted in court cases because of color. There have been pro athletes and celebrities that have dealt with racism. This? Is not racist. (And incidentally, considering the number of times I've seen dog fighting mentioned locally the past few years with white perps? I don't get the stereotype that dog fighters are black. The hell?)
