I hope those of you who are against this terribly cruel sport will help support local laws that try to make it harder for these sporting events to occur. Here's a thread regarding Fort Worth's attempt to pass legislation requiring permits for unneutered dogs, and microchips. Sporting dogs alliances, are very powerful, and they try to scare responsible breeders with what this legislation will mean to them. Most of the time, it won't even affect responsible breeders in the least, but it will severely impact those who have fighting dogs. They don't want these dogs linked to them in any shape of form, so microchipping is a bad idea, and of course neutering would make these dogs worthless in the fighting ring. That's another reason I'm grateful to Vick, every time I wrote about dog fighting before, people acted like there was no such thing, or it was indeed a very small sport. Here's the thread:
