Demonstration Against Dog Fighting This Monday

On Monday, November 2, from 7:30 to 9:30 in the morning, the Friends of MADACC (Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission) will be hosting a demonstration to protest dogfighting in Milwaukee and to thank the officers that busted one of the idiots that has been charged with this.

From their Facebook page:
Courthouse Demo for Milwaukee Dogfighter

When: Monday, November 2, 2009, 7:30 A.M. – 9:30 A.M.

Where: Milwaukee County Courthouse - southside of the building(901 N 9th St, Milwaukee, WI)

Steve Blackmon was charged in September 2008 with two felonies for animal fighting/training. Dogfighting does happen in Milwaukee, and... we will do what it takes to end this horrific blood “sport.” Join us for a peaceful demonstration to show jurors and the public that the citizens of Milwaukee are concerned about the cruelty of dogfighting, and thank the police involved in this arrest. A group of us will also be attending the court proceedings. A few breed ambassador dogs from will be in attendance as well.

  1. C...Thanks for posting this info... :)

    I don't understand how anyone can fight dogs...it's such a sick and deranged thing to do. We need to get tough on these "people" and keep working on getting better/tougher laws that will protect our dogs and other animals.

  2. One of the few things that you and I agree on. I have a pitbull, and he is the most mild tempered, child friendly dog I've ever owned. It's too bad that they get a bad named because people make them into monsters.

  3. Cowards fight dogs because they can project themselves into combat without suffering actual pain, injury and potential death.

    Cowards fight dogs because they want to project toughness, but in the innermost folds of their minds, they know they are not. In their limited minds, when an animal they own displays the traits they themselves do not possess, they feel power by association.

    Cowards fight dogs because they are cowards...

  4. I can agree with your sentiments to a large extent. For this reason, some who own pitbulls are inclined to put a bulky chain around its neck in place of a simple leash. In their minds, only tough owners have tough dogs.

    In my situation, my brother-in-law passed his pitbull over to me. He was irresistible as a pup, so my wife and I agreed to take him in. And it was one of the best decisions we've made.

    He's good with kids, obedient, affectionate, and definitely capable of protecting the home. He's everything a dog should be.
