Dogfighting sting nets 127 dogs

READ MORE:
MILLERS CREEK, N.C. (AP) - Authorities seized 127 dogs and arrested a man who co-wrote a book on raising dogs to fight after raiding an apparent dogfighting operation in western North Carolina. Officials of the Humane Society of the United States said Thursday the actions were the result of a three-year investigation into the group "Westside Kennels." A press release says three people were arrested Wednesday and charged with one count each of felony dogfighting and baiting. Other charges are possible. The Humane Society says one of the men arrested, 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.

They watched him for 3

They watched him for 3 years but they have no evidence of any dogfighting.Its the same story over and over again with these treehuggers.They are going to kill everyone of them dogs with no evidence and act like the do gooders.That is exactly what this is about running over dog breeders and exterminating these dogs so one can have any good dogs.Anyone who knows Ed Faron knows he does not match dogs.His book is a complete care book for this breed that has been out for years.You people should know what your talking about before you start advocating violence.Them dogs were in very good care.

There is nothing lower than

There is nothing lower than someone who will mistreat a very young or old person or an animal. Rest assured, this scum WILL have a front row seat in Hell.

Wildside Kennels

Well first Mr Faron is not a young man and suffers from many medical problems. He is almost cripple. In fact he had to CANCEL a surgery that day. Second HSUS has done this befor. just in oct and nov alone 4 owners of almost 200 dogs who have been killed were all acquited in 2 different states. These were also so called Years of investigation. The same people who are mentioned in the article where all but laughed out of court in both cases. The Humane Society is reacting to losing horriblein the so called two biggest dog fighting cases EVER. Also this article read almost the same as the other two raids on APBT breeders. Neither even had to offer a defense in their case the judges did not feel the state had enough to even be in the court room. But in the end the dogs where dead and another dog breeder was ruined and THAT was the TRUE objective of the HSUS. Anyone ever wonder how the Police allowed a group who is agianst breeding investigate a breeder? or wonder how a man in such bad physical shape as ED Faron can fight a dog? Whyhsuslies.blogspot.com You guys should do more research befor you judge. My home will probably be set on fire and my daughters poodle will be taken and put down for posting this. ps. cant leave without mentioning the head of HSUS dog fighting department has been booted from multiple case as an expert because he has never had any formal animal training or law enforcement training or even finished high school. But somehow he can advise law enforcement. Did i mention he is a former Member of ALF and has a criminal record that is not very pretty? No this is not slander this was all stated under oath by the man himself.

Dogfighting sting nets 127 dogs

This piece of human trash has already been convicted for dog fighting..(only a misdemeanor back then).. but the prosecutor needs to throw the BOOK at him. 127 dogs that will probably end up dead for this jerk. There is a special seat in Hell for him.

Dogfighting Scum

Anyone who helped to set up these dog fights from someone locally to Michael Vick, should in my humble opionion be greased up with raw meat and thrown in the pit with the dogs. This is the most dispicable form of animal cruelty and they should be shown NO liency!

More dogs in land fill

Heres another reason the Humane group can kill over 100 dogs and dump them in the landfill. The landfills have 10 million animals dumped by the AR movement into the landfills. The water coming out of the landfills have high amounts of e-coli, a virus that causes cancer and a bacteria. Dont let the AR movement run the country. They are trying to kill us.
