Did anyone watch CNN tonight? Paula very much supported Pitties which was wonderful. She interviewed a trainer who basically said its not the breed but they way you treat it. People need to learn that. The trainer also had a gorgeous Pit named John Henry on the show.
I'm glad that the U.S is finally beginning to see how brutal this disgusting sport is. Now hopefully they get more strict and enforce it more now since its very public.
They're starting to catch on ...

Reebok suspends sales of Vick football jerseys ...
Dogfighting allegations against QB ‘too disturbing to ignore’ for company.
NEW YORK - Athletic apparel maker Reebok said on Friday it is suspending sales of jerseys of National Football League star Michael Vick, who has been accused of sponsoring a dog-fighting operation.
“While we respect the legal process, we find the allegations against Mr. Vick too disturbing to ignore,” said Reebok, a division of Germany’s Adidas, in a statement.
Reebok does not have a separate marketing relationship with Vick, but it is the official supplier of all National Football League apparel and equipment, according to the statement.

Now, why can't this happen when these idiot stars do something stupid?
Why doesn't MADD try to boycott or protest at movie premieres?
Who's next ??
THANKS, Mr. Nike!
Nike suspends endorsement deal with Vick ...
Move follows Reebok's decision to suspend sales of quarterback’s jerseys.
NEW YORK - Friday, July 27, 2007 -
Nike has suspended its endorsment contract with Michael Vick, CNBC reported Friday.
"Nike has suspended Michael Vick's contract without pay, and will not sell any more Michael Vick product at Nike owned retail at this time," the company said in a statement.
"As we've said before, Nike is concerned by the serious and highly disturbing allegations made against Michael Vick and we consider any cruelty to animals inhumane and abhorrent. However, we do believe that Michael Vick should be afforded the same due process as any citizen in the United States, therefore, we have not terminated our relationship."
They can CANCEL his contract after he's convicted!
Thanks for posting the info Phred. It made my day!
Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

Had Vick not been indicted, I wonder if Nike and Reebok would still have taken the actions they did. Money talks.
Edited to ask: Did anyone see the pit bull image with the caption that says, "I'm a lover, not a fighter"? I think I saw it as a magnet on Cafe Press, but I'm not sure.
Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
