TrueBlue,
Please don't take offense to what I am about to say, but I don't trust anything I read in a newspaper. Reporters/journalists don't report the w,w,w,w,w,h anymore. They report what they want people to believe.
"6 Allegedly Allowed Pit Bulls to Attack Caged Hog"
"bull dogs violently attacking a feral hog in a small enclosure."
Was it a cage, or was it a pen? two entirely different things to me.
"
Taylor said it was not clear if any of the dogs had been used in dog fighting, but he added that the vicious attack on the feral hog was a tactic used to teach dogs to fight."
Where did they get this from? Using a pig to train a dog to fight?
Now from reading the article as it is written, it gives the impression that there were 7 dogs attacking one hog. Could it be that they were training 7 different young catch dogs individually to see if they will catch in the woods, and they all happen to be on the same video?
I am not defending the guys in the article, but there is not enough info in the article for me to believe they are morons either. They might have been "testing" their litter of young bulldogs to see if they were ready for the real thing, only mistake they made in that case is videoing. Or they might have had 7 dogs on one hog in a cage... Cannot tell based on the article, at least not with my limited reading comprehension.
