Dog fighting again

BBC News ran a detailed story on dog fighting today. I have already put into words my intense anger at these brutal acts and I did not want to see the report but I had to. The poor Staffie they showed with its broken jaw and numerous wounds over his head gave an indication of how pathetic our system of dealing with the perpetrators will be. The law simply is not strong enough. Breeding is too easy, and with that there is no way of knowing how many dogs are out there and with whom. A license scheme which I have always opposed seems even more necessary today. My objection to such a scheme is based on how well it will be administered and upheld. With that comes lots of taxpayers money and just do not see that being a priority for any political party.
