Hey Darleen,

I wanted to pass this info along to you...It was
posted by the moderator
of my local freecycle group...I have seen it a few
other places, but I
don't know if it is an email rumor or true, but just
to play it safe I
thought I would send it to you in case it proves
true and since you
aren't too far from here. It had been forwarded by
a Jack Russell
resuce.

= Dear rescuers, please see below warning about Tony
& Rebecca
Williams-they use small dogs as bait & all kinds of
dogs to use in the
fighting arena...

Tony is currently trying to get another animal to
torture and will go
far and wide he is currently checking out petfinder
please do not adopt
to these people....and PLEASE PLEASE
crosspost/forward this email to other rescuers/animal lovers. He is trying to adopt
all over the East
Coast.They are from Rocky Mount, NC. and get animals
shipped to him..so
we have to get the word out before he tortures
another animal/animals.
Also please put him on your do not adopt lists. .
Please cross post.

I thought it important to let all my rescue friends
know that I was
personally contacted by this man, Tony Williams,
today by telephone.
This man and his wife have recently been on all the
DNA lists
circulating the rescue lists, as they are trying to
get their hands on
many of the large breeds for fighting (rotts, pits,
etc) and also small
breeds (perhaps as bait dogs). He called today, gave
his name and
location, was quite polite.. ....he wanted to send
me a check for a JRT
we have on petfinder, and have me ship her no
questions asked. So I
explained our adoption procedure......he politely
declined and hung up.
I was pretty shocked to actually hear from him, so
please be aware that
he is checking petfinder ads and maybe contacting
other rescues about
dogs. They are going out of their area looking for
dogs to adopt.

If they know who it is and they know what hes doing why hasnt he been arrested or charged for multiple accounts of animal cruelty and he could be aressted for pit fighting..

Must be an urban myth. It's against the law in all instances and states and could easily be reported to the authorities. BUT it does make for good pet fodder. Anyone hear the one about the 3 legged dog sitting at a bar....
