I'm sure they SAW him go to jail for killing dogs, right? Key word here is killing, and this is why he shouldn't have another one, regardless of what his kids want. I'm sorry, I'm not a believer in "old habits die hard". I am with some things, but abuse ain't one of them.
I am always up for givin' someone a second chance, but there's just some people who have had the opportunity to change too many times as it is. Something tells me if he hadn't gotten busted he would not have stopped the dog-fighting ring, and I think that disgusts me the most.
