SPCA of Texas Offers Reward to Help End Dog FightingJuly 27, 2007 : 1:49 PM
A $5,000 incentive is available to informers who help to stop this illegal sport.
By Jennifer Hayes: Best Friends Network Straight from today’s headlines, despite its illegality, dog fighting is as prevalent as ever before. While most people are not exposed to the fights themselves, the blood “sport” is widespread on an underground level. In an effort to help stop dog fighting, the SPCA of Texas out of Dallas, has offered a “$5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any individual involved in dog fighting in the state of Texas.” If you are aware of any dog fight activity, they ask that you contact your local law enforcement agency, as well as the SPCA of Texas by phone 214-742-SPCA (7722) or via their website, www.spca.org/cruelty. The seriousness of this issue was not lost on the 2007 Texas legislature. HB 916 was passed unanimously in both the Texas House of Representatives and Senate (with the exception of one congressman present, but not voting) showing their support in eradicating this crime. As of September 1, 2007, the punishment for the fighting of dogs is increased from a Class A misdemeanor to a state jail felony. The penalty for attending a dog fight is also toughened from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class A misdemeanor. Please do your part in helping to end this brutal and cruel “sport.”
Every weekend I see people on Navarro selling dogs and cats. I am amazed that this is legal in Victoria and that people actually buy animals on the side of the road. You have no idea where those animals came from or what kind of conditions that they have lived in or that they are even what the people selling them say they are. By buying these poor animals you are just supporting the whole puppy mill industry ! I stopped one day and asked a lady if the puppies had their shots.. she said Oh I dont give them until they are sold.. then she told me that the shots were laying in the front of her van.. now it was extremely hot that day.. and those vaccines must be refrigerated.. so basically she was giving shots that were no good ! I talked to another lady one day ..( now this is a supposedly "good Breeder" ) and I asked her if her puppies were "vetted" she said "what is that "....sheeshhhhh I have seen kittens that were obviously sick..I heard one lady tell her buddy.. Dont give those puppies water.. we dont want them to pee..( can ya say STUPID ?) Yes I stop every week and try to get the name of the persons selling the puppies and any other information they will give.. then I go to the IRS website and report them for unreported income..Because 99 percent of these lowlifes selling dogs on the side of the road dont report a dime they make off these dogs.. You can get any kind of dog you want from rescue.. you want a pom ? look on the internet and do a search for pom rescue in tx.. or any other breed..I promise you will find a great dog.. and if you get a dog from rescue they have had all their shots, and are usually house trained and leash trained and spayed or neutered ! Please I am begging DONT BUY AN ANIMAL FROM THE SIDE OF THE ROAD !!!!!!!!! AND IF YOU ARE AN ANIMAL LOVER STOP AND GIVE THESE BREEDERS SOME FLAK...MAYBE THEY WILL GO AWAY !
Has anyone else noticed that the presidential candidates seem to be dancing around the immagration issue ? I have tried to find what their respective opinions/ plans are for this topic and cant seem to find much out..You think they are afraid to "touch " this subject ? Just curious as to what everyone thinks !
I like the way Maxine thinks. Maybe we better elect her "writer" for President.
Not me. I concentrate on solutions for the problems. It's a win-win situation. + Dig a moat the length of the Mexican border. + Send the dirt to + Put the Any other problems you would like for me to solve today? On singing OUR National Anthem in Spanish
Yep! I passed it on...
It was written by Francis Scott Key and should be sung word for word the way it was written. The news broadcasts gave a translation that's NOT even close.
Sorry if this offends anyone, THIS IS MY COUNTRY! Do YOU - sing MY National Anthem in YOUR COUNTRY IN ENGLISH ? ? ? And, because I make this statement DOES NOT mean I'm against immigration!!! YOU ARE WELCOME HERE IN MY COUNTRY. Welcome to come through like everyone else has. Get a sponsor ! Get a place to lay your head ! Get a job ! Live by OUR rules ! Pay YOUR taxes ! And LEARN THE LANGUAGE LIKE ALL OTHER IMMIGRANTS HAVE IN THE PAST!!! AND PLEASE DON'T DEMAND THAT WE HAND OVER OUR LIFETIME SAVINGS OF SOCIAL SECURITY FUNDS TO YOU TO MAKE UP FOR ''YOUR'' LOSSES. If you don't want to forward this for fear of offending someone, then YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM! When will AMERICAN'S STOP giving away THEIR RIGHTS??? We've gone so far the other way, bent over backwards not to offend anyone. But it seems no one cares about the AMERICAN who's being offended! WAKE UP If you agree - pass this on... if you don't agree - delete it ! ! !

I'm sorry, but after hearing they want to sing OUR National Anthem in Spanish - enough is too much! NEVER did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish-Celtic, German, Portuguese, Greek, French, or any other language because of immigration.
