A trophy not worth keeping...

According to the Detroit Free Press, a man was spotted this morning at 5AM on the city's west side carrying a trophy. When a police officer stopped him to ask some questions, he dropped the trophy and ran. According to the story, the following was inscribed on the trophy:

"The Gamest of Show, Aug. 10, 2007."

Apparently the man had just left a dog fight with the win and was proud enough to walk down the street with the trophy. If ever the words "smoking gun" had any more meaning. It's just sad that people feel the need to do something that hurts animals so much. We adopted our last dog, Shadow, from the Dearborn Animal Shelter. When we toured the shelter, more than half of them were pit bulls. More than likely, they were left on the streets of Detroit when they were no longer useful as fighting dogs, left for dead.
