Only 18 weeks in jail for dog fighting. There is something wrong with the judicial system.

THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AS WELL AS THE LAW MAKERS FOR ALLOWING THIS HORRIFIC ACT TO BASICALLY GO UNPUNISHED. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ORIGINATING SMUGGLERS IN AMERICA? WHAT ABOUT THE GANG IN IRELAND? THERE IS TRULY NO JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD FOR THESE POOR ANIMALS!!!
CLAIRE PARKER, BEWARE, ANIMAL LOVERS AND HUMANE ASSOCIATIONS AROUND THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING YOU.
THE PEOPLE IN LINCOLNSHIRE SHOULD RALLY AGAINST THIS WOMAN, HER CO-CONSPIRATORS AND THAT LOUSY, STINKING JUDICIAL SYSTEM THAT SEEMS TO NOT CARE!!!

the justic system is so wrong.Whomever makes the laws should no that they may have money but you would be fired in my world.You are not doing your job you idiots.Anything that promots violence is wrong in any respect, be lucky you don't work for me you clown

These people need to get a life.Dogs are the greatest lets treat them like so!

Too bad the punishment wasn't there to fit the crime. Should put those accused in the ring with each other. If you want out--tear each other to shreds. Afterall-if you enjoy betting and watching how about some real participation! But we are a civilized society so we would never to that would we? We just torture the innocent for money!

All guilty parties should be locked in a cage with hungry and agressive dogs.

These crimes against animals continue because the penalties are not strong enough. This form of barbarism should be a thing of the past, but unfortunately, people without a conscience put money before morals. These people (and I use the term loosely) should face long jail terms, stiff fines, AND community service, where they explain to youth groups WHY this is a heinous crime. Only then will the torure of these animals stop.

Dog-fighting is a disgrace. The people running those rings should be put away for life. Anyone guilty of animal cruelty can be thrown in a pit for good-- and then seal it up, as far as I'm concerned.

It makes me embarrassed to be of Irish Descent.
I hope there's a special place in Hell of torment for those "people" who torment and torture animals, especially for entertainment.
The reason that Pit Bulls fight so well, is they
are among the most loyal dogs on the planet and will do anything for their owners even kill & suffer. Shame on all of you!!

Not that I disagree with everyone, but people who murder other people are out within a few years. The only crimes that get punished with real time are the finacial crimes. Madoff got 120 years. He stole money. Is it clear now what the lawmakers really care about? They certainly don't care about dogs- and they can relate to the people torturing the poor animals because they're doing it to make $$. Don't expect true justice. Remember, Micheal Vick is back on the team and all he had to do is make a sickeningly fake apology about how he now knows it was wrong to fight those dogs. (What? He didn't know it was wrong before?)

We as a society have got to put a stop to this dog fighting s---!!!A slap on the hand is getting old. Throw them in jail for no less then 5 years and take evrything they have and own!

This makes me sick. As an owner of a pit bull I can honestly say they are one of the sweetest breeds of dogs I've had the pleasure of owning. That this breed has gotten such a bad name just because of the ignorance of people is something I can't comprehend. The laws againist people for dog fighting can't be stiff enough. Blame and ban the people...........not the dog breed.

i cant- i cant see things like this-it kills me to know these animals are suffering. it hurts me to the bone when i lay down to sleep and i know in my heart that they're being abused. i have 6 pitbulls and i know that when they get sick or hurt i feel awefull and run quickly to get them help and make them feel better. all these vicious ppl do is hurt them, cause them pain and change their natural way of being-the canine is suppose to be a pack oriented animal, loving the idea of having members in their pack, loving the idea of playing and teaching their young, even the wild ones enjoy the company of their fellow members. it is not in their nature to be loners and aggressive towards everything, these ppl create monsters, because it is only in the human to destroy and abuse, out of pleasure and spite. these animals need protection, and those who abuse them need to be jailed and not allowed to own an animal ever. they are perverse and sick ppl who need to hurt those who can not speak out only because they are weak themselves. these humans are the animals.

they should be put in a ring an made 2 fightt an starve an beat they need a stronger sentance

There are PEOPLE dying every day. Do any of you do anything to help them? Sorry, I care about dogs too, but I care more for humans than animals.

HEY VINNY..TRY THINKING BEFORE YOU WRITE A COMMENT...WE KNOW PEOPLE DIE EVERYDAY, DID YOU JUST FIGURE THAT ONE OUT? ANIMALS NEED PEOPLE TO SPEAK FOR THEM....THEY CANT YELLOUT....HEY IM BEING USED AS A BAIT DOG TO BE TORN TO PIECES...HEY MAN... IM BEING STOLEN AND FLOWN TO EUROPE TO FIGHT OTHER DOGS AND IF I LOSE THEY KILL ME..HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED VINNY THAT THEY CANT TALK? DO YOU REALIZE THAT THE PUNISHMENT FOR HURTING ANY ANIMAL, IS USUALLY A SMALL FINE, AND LITTLE TO KNOW IMPRISONMENT VINNY? HAVE YOU TAKEN NOTICE TO THAT VINNY?..BECAUSE WE , THE TRUE ANIMAL LOVERS OF THE WORLD DO NOTICE THESE THINGS...APPARENTLY...UNLIKE YOU VINNY. I CARE FOR PEOPLE ALSO..BUT OUR LAWS DO NOTHING TO PUNISH PEOPLE WHO COMMIT ANIMAL CRUELTY...AND IF YOU DONT SEE THAT OR CARE, KEEP YOUR THOUGHTS TO YOURSELF...BECAUSE YOU SURELY ARE NOT A TRUE ANIMAL LOVER...YOUR NAME STARTS WITH A "V" AS IN "VICK"....YOU EVER NOTICE THAT?

WHEN WILL THIS STOP? IT IS DISGUSTING. THESE POOR DOGS HAVE NO CHANCE. HANG THE IDIOTS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PARTICIPATING IN THESE RINGS. EVEN BETTER, LET'S PUT THEM IN THE RING AND WATCH THEM FIGHT TO THE DEATH.

A firing squad for these A**holes would be apropos. I volunteer to serve on such, and will be happy to supply my own firearm and ammunition.

TYPICAL, THE REAL CRIMINALS GET A SLAP ON THE WRIST, MAKES YOU WONDER WHO GOT WHAT FROM WHOM??? I AGREE THAT THE PUNISHMENT SHOULD FIT THE CRIME, THEY KNEW THEY WERE DOING WRONG SO IT SHOULDN'T BE A SHOCK TO THEM TO RECEIVE SOME HARSHER PENALTIES. HOW ABOUT LOSING THEIR HOUSES, CARS, AND ALL ASSETS, AND HAVE IT ALL DONATED TO THE WELFARE OF THE ANIMALS AND TO THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HELP AND CARE FOR THESE POOR CREATURES (OUR PETS). WWJD
ENOUGH OF THESE SLAPS, PUT'M IN A PIT AND STONE'M!
LET'S FACE IT THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM JUST DON'T WORK FOR YOU UNLESS YOUR RICH, FAMOUS, OR THE MOB.
WELL I SAID MY PEACE, OH BY THE WAY AS TO THE COMMENT ABOUT PEOPLE DYING? WE AREN'T TALKING ABOUT PEOPLE HERE AND WHAT ARE THEY DYING FROM? ARE THEY BEING PUT IN A RING AND TOLD TO KILL ONE ANOTHER? LET'S STAY ON THE SAME PAGE AYE???

I would like to say to all of you pussified bastards who think they're big and bad just because you have a dog who unwillingly fights (mostly because it's trying to save it's own life).
If you want to show people how tough you are, why don't you get into the ring yourselves with the idea that if you lose, you die? I'd love for you to show us all how big and bad you really are then or are you the pussified bastard you know you are?

I too do not like the treatment of these animals or pets.... But I still think we put too much on this then Humans.... Just 4 days ago, we saw the Police beat a hand cuffed guy so bad, it was horrific.... I reported them to no avail, like no one cared.... Yet an animal is invovled and everyone wants to War or kill the culprit.... What happen to Hauman Rights First as well....

Pit bulls are kind, giving, loving, smart, athletic and loyal.

I have a blue-nosed pit named Zeus, a red-nosed pit named Scarlet and a cane corso named Boss Hogg. I love all of my animals. Pits are very loyal. I would never fight my dogs because of the sheer brutality that goes along with the fighting. People who fight their dogs to make a buck should be imprisoned for a long period of time. I am an animal lover. Animal killers should get the same amount of time as though they had killed a human if you ask me. I am all about loving my fellow man as well, but animals should be given the same treatment as humans, too. They should also be loved and treated with humanity.

in korea they eat dogs everyday, whats bloodier medium rare or dog fried rice
