I hope they throw the book at these two! People that abuse people or animals are disgusting.

Anyone who runs a dog fighting ring is sick! They should be treated like the dogs they were using for bait in the fights. Animals are just innocent victims unfortunately.

Shame on these individuals and shame on the people who watch these events occur without compassion. You are all sick if you find any pleasure in seeing animals harm one another, especially if they are trained to do so. Animals are pets, protectors and family to most.

Sick sick sick. People like these should be punished to the full extent and be labeled for life. They hurt animals would they hurt children? Never be allowed to have either.
