Help Pay For Gypsy's Vet Bills
Thursday, April 14, 2005
An elderly woman found "Gypsy" Monday morning on Wilkinson Boulevard near Belmont. She thought the dog was dead, but when she looked closely Gypsy was alive.

Gypsy was immediately taken to Eastridge Animal Hospital in Gastonia. Doctors did not know if Gypsy was going to die. At first, the elderly woman thought Gypsy was hit by a car, but doctors say she was used in dog fighting, then left for dead.

Her ears have been cropped down to her head probably by her old "owners" in the typical "pit bull" mutilated fashion.

WBTV News spoke to Gaston County Animal Control Thursday night. They said it's difficult to charge someone with animal fighting, because you need a witness or videotape to document the staged event.

Most are charged with animal cruelty.

In Gypsy's case, no one has even come forward to claim her

If you would like to donate money toward "Gypsy's" recovery please visit;

I hope she gets adopted out!I sure would adopt her

[MsMini]

Poor baby.... why do humans do this to them?

[LuckiLab03]

That is devestating and heart breaking

[lute]

OMG! i'm bawling just reading the story. the pics are so sad. poor poor girl. i wish i could adopt her.

[Oggyflute]

I just never cease to be amazed at peoples inhumanity. I haven't looked at the pictures yet, going to have to work up to that.

[dukedogsmom]

May whomever was responsible for that rot eternally in hell. There's not a place hot enough for them. I pray Gypsy will make it through and find the love she truly deserves. This breaks my heart.

[ramanth]

There are no words. I don't have much, but I sent a donation.

Get better Gypsy. You are safe now and loved.

[Jadapit]

Thats beyond heartbreaking! Sadly, it happens every day. I did a lot of research on pit bulls before we got Jada. There is so much money in dog fighting. They will bet as much as 65 thousand dollars on a fight. I was shocked when I read that. How can people be involved in that crap let alone bet that much money on it? I found an article that said Dmx (the rapper) is into pit bull fighting and he also promotes it. After I read that I told my son not to play his cd's around me anymore. I posted a site to Accord it's called Pit Bull sad reality. If any of you want to see what goes on with the pit bulls every single day take a look at it.
It's in the thread, news flash started by Accord.

[PJ's Mom]

Oh my God.

That dog doesn't have ears.

What the hell is wrong with people?

[Jadapit]

Pj's mom the people that use the pit bulls to fight crop their ears as short as they can. I guess they do that so the dogs cant grab ahold of each others ears. It's so sad and sick.

[lizbud]

Oh my God. I can't even imagine the pain she must be
going through.

If we as a society have to increase the penalty for dog fighting
to life in prison with no parole, I say do it. I personally would
not mind shooting the slime that allowed & encouraged this to
happen.
