Mississippi outlaws Hog-Dog fighting

[BOSSHOG]

The state house outlawed hog-dog rodeos which are held in isolated, rural property as bubba makes bets on how long the dogs will take to pin the hogs. Pitt bulls are put into pens with hogs left defenseless because their tusks have been sawed off. I'm not making this up. This is great sporting attraction for all the patriotic manly men in the state.

1. Yep they are manly men aren't they......

but you will never see them go to the nearest military office and sign up and go fight their war!!

Bunch of cowards!!

14. The article mentions the practice is common in several states,

including Arkansas, but I have never heard of this kind of fighting before. There have been dog fighting and cock fighting rings busted up around here before, but this is a new one on me. This just goes to show how sick some people are.

8. great! now let's get rid of coursing in California

in which greyhounds are let loose to rip up a rabbit

[theHandpuppet]

10. Yep, I saw some footage of that "sport" just the other day

Sickening doesn't begin to describe it.

17. I wouldn't have a problem if the dog was going after WILD rabbits...

...But that isn't hunting, it's the canine equivalent of Cheney's "canned hunts".

[yellowcanine]

11. Well that's a relief. I thought it said "hotdog fighting" and my mind

could only imagine some bizarre male bonding ritual.

[hvn_nbr_2]

13. That's how I read it too.

I couldn't even begin to imagine what it might be.

15. Kicked and recommended.

Need it done in other states as well.

[The Stranger]

16. Kick it again.

[LeftyMom]

18. Just when I think I know all the sick shit people do to animals

I hear a new one. I'm glad it's illegal now, but amazed anybody'd want to do such a pointless and perverse thing in the first place.

19. They need guys like this to guard the

prisons in Iraq... Looks like they would be perfect for the job....
