Sandi’s K9 Management

Wednesday, March 5th marks a milestone in the fight against dog fighting as Wyoming becomes the 50th state to make the illegal activity a felony.  Idaho had just marked the law a felony on February 25 of this year.

I am excited that the right information is finally getting into the right government hands to see issues such as dog fighting given stiffer penalties.   Dogfighting has been in the news recently due to the conviction of Michael Vick (or Beck, or whatever his name was), and I feel that it has made the key individuals sit up and take notice where they might not otherwise have done so.  It is unfortunate that it took a horrendous situation to shed light on this subject, but every single day there are horrendous situations that these dogs are living in and so you really have to look at the silver lining in this cloud. 

If you know of anyone involved with dogfighting, I urge you to contact your local authorities.  Many humane societies across the country are offering cash rewards for information leading up to the conviction of such felons.
