Dog Fighting League faces uncertain future
Even the most savage combatants in the Dog Fighting
League face the constant risk
of injury.
|
By John Breneman
The Pittsburgh Pit Bulls mauled the Philadelphia Beagles
14-3 last night in a vicious DFL showdown that has drawn the
attention of animal-rights watchdogs, FBI bloodhounds and
rabid fans.
In other Dog Fighting League action: The Cleveland Curs dominated
the Baltimore Bitches, the Oakland Rottweilers abused the
underdog New Orleans Saint Bernards and the heavily favored
Chicago Bullmastiffs were savaged by the Kansas City Chihuahuas.
The indictment of the league's poster boy, NFL superstar
Michael Vick, has shined a harsh spotlight on the underground
world of extreme canine brutality. But DFL analysts suggest
investigators instead probe an organization that grooms chemically
enhanced human beings to engage in violent combat for entertainment
purposes -- the National Football League.
In tonight's DFL matchups: The Miami Mongrels attack the
Jacksonville Jugulars, the Green Bay Puggers take on the Fighting
Irish Setters of Notre Dame and the Miami Mongrels are crated
up and shipped to Motown where they hope to disembowel the
Detroit Dachshunds, despite a hamstring injury to league MVP
(Most Valuable Pooch) Killer #247.
At stake is the saliva-covered league championship trophy
and a lavish prize package that includes a 10-pound sack of
Alpo and one full week without being beaten, shot or electrocuted.
