Dog Beat Dog: To Pull Off the Biggest Pit Bull Fighting Bust in U.S. History, Investigators and Their Dogs Went Undercover

By Keegan Hamilton Thursday, Sep 2 2010
The grainy footage shows two snarling pit bulls in a dimly lit barn, staring each other down through a haze of cigarette smoke. Walled in by a makeshift ring of three-foot-high plywood boards, the collarless dogs twitch and wag their tails, expending nervous energy like prizefighters shadowboxing in the ring in the moments before the opening bell.

Both dogs are males and have a tan coat and a white belly, which makes it difficult to tell them apart. They're about 10 months old — young for fighters. This is their first taste of combat.

Each dog has a handler who grips it by the scruff of the neck and positions it opposite its foe in the corner of the 16-by-16-foot ring. When they're released, the pit bulls collide with a dull thud. One dog lands on its back and the other pounces, grabbing hold with its jaws. The two animals spend the next several minutes growling and panting, locked in a ferocious struggle.

John Bacon, who owns the dog that's on top, bends at the waist and rests his hands on the knees of his baggy overalls, hovering close to the tangle of fur and flesh. He cajoles his pit bull to release its bite and improve its position. The dogs tumble over one another and Bacon jumps out of the way. "There you go!" he shouts. "That's where you want to be!"

The other dog is getting mauled. It emits a piercing squeal, followed by a whimper. Laughter ripples through the crowd. Joseph Addison, a spectator who wears his hair in a jumble of chin-length braids, suggests it's time to stop the match.

Jeez..

The people who do this shit should have their genitals covered in bacon and thrown naked in to a cage with hungry pit bulls.

I have a rottweiler that I took away from a former neighbor ten years ago since the dog was being neglected to the point where it was a question of her survival. For ten years, I have enjoyed having this wonderful dog who lets me know when an intruder, human or animal, is outside the house, who loves to lie at my feet when I watch TV, who is happy to see me when I come home, and who is not aggressive towards strangers and I just have to tell her, "He's okay," when someone new comes by and she stops barking and growling, and will come up and sniff the person and lick the person on the hand. She loves children and a 7 year old girl could rob the house with no problems, but I wouldn't change my dog for anything.

How someone can take joy into turning an animal into a savage killer is beyond me. When something hurts my dog so that she would cry out, it sure as hell doesn't make me laugh. If I ever stumbled upon a dog fight, I'd go berserk and beat as many of those cretins senseless as I could.

I don't have a problem with dog fighting. The conditions they make some of the dogs live in bother me as do some of the methods of putting the hurt/lame/no-game dogs down.

The fighting is every bit as bad as anything else, since it is abuse of the animal. What good is the dog once it can no longer fight? Is it going to go on to be a seeing eye dog, or donated to a children's home? If someone gives the slightest damn about a dog, then he or she would never turn it into a fighting dog.

That is your opinion and you have a right to it.

If they are bred for that I will be happy to throw your puppies in the water. My chocloate lab was in the water early and often as a pup and continues to do so.

I'm not involved in dog fighting but don't see why fighting dogs shouldn't be let to fight. People look at it and think of their family dog and that just isn't the case.

Do you cry about falcon fights or cock fights?

I don't have a problem either. I'm actually training kittens to fight with poisoned-tipped sticks tied to their legs.

Don't **** with a kitten, man. You'll be sorry.

Sometimes I don't think this world has enough bullets to go around, for the number of people I would kill if I were allowed to.
