birdwatcherBALTIMORE - Reese [vice president of Recycled Love, an animal rescue organization in Baltimore] said pit bull fights are widespread, and she worries not only about the dogs but the impact the fights have on children who often witness them.
"They are shown that illegal gambling, dogfighting and the cruelty associated with it is fine," she said.
But even though bets are placed, the blood sport is often done purely for entertainment, spectators said. People watching the fights often bring guns, drugs and alcohol to the events. Какой ужас. Какой ужас.
Watching a staged dogfight is illegal in Maryland.
Animal control officials said they have just 15 officers. Experts said that more than twice that number is needed to get a handle on the problem in the city. Тоже интересная работа - вычислять необходимое количество. Кажется, я вижу алгоритм. Надо в два раза больше, чем есть.
"It happens everywhere," Brandon Sears, a southwest Baltimore resident, said.
Бесценное: In January 2001, City Councilwoman Agnes Welch unsuccessfully proposed a bill to ban pit bulls, but animal rights activists said they don't want that to happen. They said they would rather see increased enforcement.
