Just saw on a newsbreak how he killed his "losing" dogs by hosing them down and electrocuting them.
May he meet a similar fate some day.
After seeing this cruel sports aftermath up close, it sickens me. The neighbors behind us (we live in a typical burb subdivision) were keeping the fighting pit bulls belonging to their daughter's boyfriend. 4 fighting males and a constantly pregnant and starving female.
The female was kept nearest to us. We would often throw milkbones over the fence to her - you could see her ribs protruding through her skin. 3 of the males were vicious and would lunge for us when we came in our backyard (they were chained with a thick chain and we have a chainlink fence.) The other male desperately wanted to get away and would often jump our fence in the middle of the night, his chain hanging him by the neck from our fence. DW Lauri, who is trained in handling aggressive dogs, would go out there and save him, climbing the fence and lifting him over. We didn't dare take him in because 1) we didn't know these people, and 2) no matter how well Lauri handles aggressive dogs, you can't predict these dogs.
The boyfriend would show up daily and inject the dogs with something. On the weekends they would put them in a car. The would come back the next day covered in blood, with poorly set broken limbs.
We tried going to the police but were never taken seriously. When a local news station did a story on pit bull fighting making it out to the burbs, Lauri contacted the reporter and told him what we had seen going on behind us.
Long story short, after constant survelience and videotaping done from our kitchen, even getting the license plate of the car taking the dogs away - the police were encouraged by the reporter to take this seriously and at least one dog ring in our city was shut down.
He's a big mush ball with our kids and a big lap dog.
