How is dog fighting fun ? I don't get it -- the whole culture of it --- what a scumbag.

[ice]

was michael vick there

[yona]

How can someone write a step by step guide to breeding and training fighting dogs and it not be illegal? Wouldn't it be like a person writing a book on manufactoring and distributing meth? Both are illegal, right?

By the way where is Gentry? This is her kind of cause and story.

[Ronald Frobnitz]

This behavior is unacceptable. I hope those involved will get the maximum sentence possible.

[reporter wanted]

this idiot should get more time than vick did!

What a low life piece of GARBAGE..

I own pits and just recently rescued one from a high kill shelter. pits are wonderful, beutiful dogs, and they are part of my family, and part of my kids lives!! Pits are very smart and athletic dogs! Pits are very loyal and loving! Please look at pbrc.net ,and PLEASE if you can rescue a pit!! for every 1 pit rescued 599 are eutinized!! I would personally enjoy "euthinizing" every low life S.O.B that even thinks about dog fighting!!! BLAME THE DEED AND NOT THE BREED!!!! Oh one more thing Michael Vic is nothing but a chicken s%&@ S.O.B That I would give anything in this world to see him used for police dog practice!!!!!

[Animal Advocate]

Every individual in this operation should be prosecuted to the fullest extent that federal, state and local laws allow...maximum fines as well as maximum time. Organized animal fighting is carnage not sport. Let the punishment befit the crime.

[Mean Spirit]

They should turn all 127 dogs on this man and let him see what it feels like to be bitten and torn to shreds. That would be justice. If he has made any money off his so called book all the proceeds should go to saving other dogs.

You're right, Chris. I encourage anyone in the market for a family pet to go to their local animal shelter first. "Pound puppies" are the best, and yes, pits are among them.

He's not a dog fighter! Stop believing the media use your own brain

He isn't a dog fighter! Use your brain

This is the way the government is killing off the pit bull. They don't fight dogs people wake up! They have raided 4 kennels just like this one this year, all have been thrown out of court already! Damn you people are stupid!

Who is "he"? Michael Vick, who is a convicted dogfighter, or this kennel owner recently arrested?

[jason]

The kennels owner was turned in by a man that didn't even know what was going on at his house, he just wanted some money.

Jason, I guess I don't understand what you're saying. How could the man benefit from turning in the kennel owner? How could money be involved in that?

[jason]

HSUS pays up to 5,000 for turning in dogfighters. Which is just causeing problems because people are turning in everyone that has a pit bull looking dog.

[Paranormal Hunter]

Burn the place down with the man inside that owned the property.Just make sure the dogs are out. I am a conspiracy theroist but do not believe the Government(evil empire) is out to get rid of the Pit Bull. I have owned several and they are a very good breed. Stupid irresponsible people are behind the dogs demise. If the same people9Theat fight dogs) have kids they probably did a piss poor job raising them.

You people that are commenting on the book that Ed wrote obviously have not read it.The book does not tell how to fight a dog it has more about how to raise and breed a Pit Bull. From Infectious Diseases,External Parasites,Gastrointestinal problems, to feeding and nutrition.I have a dog that I bought from Ed in 2002 and he is one of the best dogs I have ever had.He has excellent temperment, very friendly to people and kids. He is a great house dog. This is a very unfortunate situation. Ed does love and take care of his dogs.

Then explain this:

"Westside Kennels owner Ed Faron, is a known pit bull breeder and an influential figure in underground dogfighting.

He co-wrote "The Complete Gamedog A Guide to Breeding and Raising the American Pit Bull Terrier," which includes depictions of injuries inflicted upon or suffered by fighting dogs."

I do not care who turns in person(s)owning fighting dogs, mostly pit bulls, because their box
shaped head scares a lot of folks.

Then the people who raise them to be guard dogs
of fighting dogs are chained, mistreated and
left alone too long in the elements.

These persons are just as NASTY as Vic. And I hope that if they actually make it to court that
their sentence involves working at the animal shelter for the rest of their life and live on the pay.

Dogs like socializing with humans and other dogs.
Dogs should be pets. So to anyone that likes this buy can taking a flying leap in the fires
