Pet Items: Dog fighting
The sport of fighting dogs appears to be an addiction worse than nicotine or alcohol. Sad news out of Yonkers, NY last night reports the discovery of another drug/dogfighting ring where police rescued fifteen pit bulls. Two maimed pit bulls were found in a trash bin in the same area, just in January.
On a positive note, the state of Wyoming has joined the other 49 states making dog-fighting a felony.
But shelters all over the country are having difficulty keeping up with added intake...
...as dog fighting rings are shut down.
Pitbulls got a different kind of attention yesterday as One Tree Hill star, Sophia Bush, was spotted at LAX with her companion Patch.
Hollywood pet news is still buzzing around Ellen Degeneres and her new Partnering with Halo, Purely For Pets®. According to reports, Halo is expanding its product line and retail presence for its entire line of all-natural pet food and pet care products in the U.S. market, and Ellen swears the food is good enough for humans to eat!
And while dogs in the UK appear to be living a happier day with the opening of the Cruft’s Dog Show, a behind-the-scenes scandal has erupted with accusations of illegal bets setting up the grand prize winner.
