This is getting ridiculous. Day by day the ammount of ''evidence'' needed to call someone a dog-fighter is dropped to unimaginable levels. So he had over 20 dogs in kennels, so what?! Go to the local Humane Society and arrest them too.....they will have multiple dogs all in kennels, hell maybe even a scarred up pitbull or two, guess the humane society is really pulling the cover over everyones eyes and running a ''dog-fighting ring" huh?

Funny you mention that. I was watching animal cops last night on AP, and the guy lived in a residential neighborhood, had 7 pits, 3 they took away for wounds, when they arrived, the guy was putting 2 together, had a treadmill in his garage, and they STILL didn't bust him for dogfighting...

Are you kidding? I find it impossible to believe AC would take dogs they assume were in a fight, but not the dogs they can prove were getting rolled(if they were watching a staged fight). They always take the easy way out, so why try to prove it by scars that a dog can get from anything if you can prove 100 percent on the other dogs? And dont get the wrong idea about treadmills, it is pretty far from evidence to convict a dog fighter. I personally know more people with mills that dont do anything with their dogs, than I know active doggers with a mill! And going even further, I believe they are almost a requirement for this breed, they deserve constant excersise every day, and I cant work my dog by myself like he would like (meaning I cant sprint two miles and back in the rain in 40 degree temps). Treadmills are great for people who live in areas where they either cant work their dogs for whatever reasons, be it scared of theft, areas where weather wont permit it. Maybe the person is simply too out of shape to do any good for their dog by walking it, we arent all marathon runners!
