Animal Planet Investigates: Dogfighting - Monday, Jan. 25, 10 p.m. EST/PST

[jeanm1963]

I watched part of it, and flicked when they were showing the fighting, I cant even believe human beings do such things, it was just sickening. I hope any people who participate in such activities with any kind of animal , rot in jail. It is simply disgusting that people actually watch a animal being killed. I am shocked at how sick this is!!

Ann i am so sorry about your health issues hopefully it can be taken care of easily.

Oh gee Ann, I so sorry to hear this, is this related to sleep difficulties do you think?


Regarding the show, I do hope people keep dog fighting in mind when they read about new bills being passed. Promoters of dog fighting are against any bills that put restrictions on breeding. The are always fighting spaying and neutering laws, as well as laws that demand a dog be microchipped after he has been found running loose. I believe lots of the propaganda being passed about how microchipping is dangerous is passed by these dog fighting enthusiasts, they do not want any of their dogs traced back to them because they could be held accountable. So by making others believe that microchips are dangerous, or that neutering is unnecessary or unhealthful, they are more likely to stop these bills from being passed. Please keep in mind, dog fighting is big business.

Aw thanks...it'll be fine. It looks like they're not really related in terms of cause...but a little related in terms of people who have apnea often also have sinus issues...if that makes any sense. I also learned I have "congenital non-aeration of the frontal sinuses" LOL - I mean COME ON! Which means I guess my frontal sinuses don't really have any air, nice. {explains migraines since age 5 finally!}

GREAT points on the chipping!

Oh, sweets, thanks. It's okay...I only mentioned it bc I felt like such a dang schmuck for bringing up the show....and then not watching it (wimp). I'm really positive about it...I mean, I'm lucky to have health care and get these things taken care of.

Boy, whatever it takes to get rid of migraines though! How on earth have you put up with them for so long. You will most certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. After all you are my hero!

You're too sweet, mah darlin' ! I just hit my own head w/ a large book and then I feel much better ! They were baaaad as a kid/teens/early 20s and finally started getting better around 30s. I don't think my Mom tried too hard to figure it out beyond diagnosis of "migraines", to be honest .

S'alright. We'll get 'er done!
