Pit Bulls have been used for unlawful, devastating and horrific dog fighting for years, but once NFL star Michael Vick was caught with them in April, they made front page headlines. ESPN.com reports that after Vick’s Surry County, Virginia property was raided authorities “reportedly found – among other things – 66 dogs (most of which were pit bulls), a dog-fighting pit, bloodstained carpets and equipment commonly associated with dog fighting.” The offense is a felony in Virginia and Vick later pleaded guilty in a case that will rule this December. Animal Headliners status for Pit Bulls and other dogs trained to fight will only mean a crackdown in dog fighting, and a step in the right direction to end raising dogs for a lifestyle of fighting.
