Dog fighting is bigger than Michael Vick
[?]
With all the attention on Michael Vick, some might think that dogfighting is merely a fringe action used by African Americans and gangs in the South. Not only is that a fallacy, it minimizes the efforts across the nation to remove this vile and illegal event. Thankfully I noticed this item that helps to remind us that efforts across the nation continue.
In Chicago there is an ongoing action to end this despicable activity. Called Safe, Humane, Chicago it is a mix of the police department and local activists. The new organization will host education programs, encourage people to report animal abuse, and teach children and adults how to avoid attacks by dogs.
