Just curious, do you have much of a problem with dog-fighting in your
area?

No. There's virtually no place to hold a dog fight.

That doesn't mean that there aren't people who may participate in dog
fighting somewhere, but our problems are generally caused by dumbass
owners and I haven't seen any statistics of breeds responsible for bites
within our city limits, for instance.

I'd also guess that the people who bother to buy a license for their dogs
are the ones who will be punished, should this go through.



Isn't that the way it always is, the decent, law-abiding citizens pay for
the crimes of others.

I used to watch Animal Cops, Detroit on Animal Planet, until I got burned
out on all the sad and horrible cases. It appears they have a huge
dog-fighting problem there. And rather ineffective laws requiring that an
actual fight must be witnessed. The battered, mauled, bitten dogs aren't
enough.

I saw the pit bull that lives on our road the other day. He's already
bigger than my Merlin, and Merlin stands 27 inches and weighs 80 pounds.
