Jackson Jambalaya

Any arrest(s) associated with these seized animals?

This is good new that lifts my day. I hope it lifts everyone’s.

somebody needs to have their ass kicked-

I think the arresting officer has been reading too many PETA hand outs. Those are not fighting dogs. How many were young pups? Even the couple pics of the grown dogs did not show a fighting dog.

The seized dogs may have been intended as bait dogs for training purposes. One reason people need to be careful when offering "free" puppies/dogs.

@10:03 AM - They don't have to be fighting dogs, but rather bait dogs.

10:22 am, Again, too many PETA hand outs. Bait dogs are something PETA made up about 20-30 years ago. Think about it a little. If you were a boxer would you practice boxing with 6 year old kids? If you had a race car would you go down town and race between signal lights? If you were any kind of professional athlete would you practice with grade school kids? Using a bait dog is pretty much the same thing. If you did have a fighting dog you would ruin it by using bait dogs. It has made PETA a lot of money and made fools out of a bunch of people.

Get out of Madison while you still can!

Let me be on the jury that prosecutes these thugs. I will give them a fair trial then send them to prison!

December 8, 2022 at 11:47 AM It is YOU who is the DAMN FOOL!!!
Bait dogs and cats are sadly a real thing. Your logic with practice does not apply here. It is about getting fighting dogs familiar with blood and wanting to kill. You are probably a member of FARM BUREAU who fights any and all animal rescue legislation. This is also beyond animal cruelty, but also involves drugs, illegal gambling and people who kill people.
Stay out of conversations you know nothing about!

Blackmon and Blackmon - One Call, We Don't Stall!

So many friends of this perp stayed on Facebook that it’s alright to fight dogs because dogs heal. They said the city of Madison puts the dogs to sleep so they are the killers. Just stating their crazy mindset.

And what have YOU done to help any animals or any humans during this Christmas season? Anything? I wish you could see these dogs; this is not a made up issue. You should just contribute to the food drive and try in some small way to make up for your ignorant views.

Thank you Webster for all you do for these animals.

11:47 The officer obviously made the right call with that many dogs. What is so sad is that people excuse the behavior of dog fighting kinda like your comments.

What's up with Canton, Mississippi and dog-fighting? It seems to have been a way of life for many years.

Frankly, I blame that on the many sheriffs over the past 40 years who have either been paid off or who have turned a blind eye, or both (as with bootleg whiskey).

1:27 PM, Could I ask where you are getting your information on how to raise and train fighting dogs? How many fighting dogs have you bred, raised, and trained? How many dog fights have you had an entry in or been in the audience? Taking advice from you would be like taking a drivers training class from a person who has never seen a car.

12:23 / 11:47 there you go again with your illogical comparison fallacies. You seem obsessed with athletes and cars.
I volunteer for people who work these cases and have seen the horror first hand. And yourself? Stop being ignorant. This is a horrible reality.

1:47 PM, Like I said you do not have any real idea about dog fighting. You are listening to the people who make up the stories. You are one of those people I was talking about. Try reading as book about the history of dog fighting. There has even been a dog fight in the white house. Several presidents have owned fighting dogs. The railroad used to sell tickets at a special price to the people who traveled around attending dog fights. It wasn't that long ago that it was legal.

Dog fights don’t bother me nearly as much as an Asian dog meat market.
Dogs will fight with or without human intervention. But you can’t unsee what dog eaters do.

You people need to listen to 10:22. He's one of those people who say, "Calm down...It's everywhere".

First off to the one commenting on the myth of bait dogs: I'm curious as to how well you know so much? For someone to defend this type of behavior is beyond me. Second: Your examples are illogical, so a grown man just goes and punches a kid in the face? A highly tuned performance car with millions of dollars sunk into it I.e. aerodynamics, weight reductions, roll cages, engine, fuel, mixtures, computer programming, all to go race bill down the street in his hobby car? I have been in the street race world, and it doesn't happen. Not to mention the negative publicity that driver and his sponsors would get. Not to mention there is a certain type of honor when you get to a professional level like that, why whip the shit out of a smaller guy when you know you can beat them?! Third: you speak with conjectures, where I on the other hand have seen first hand with the volunteer work that I do! There is no honor in letting a dog kill another dog for money, throwing a hurt dog on a pile of dead dogs to bleed out, suffer in pain, and then die! There is also drugs and other crimes involved in this illegal activity! You must also over work the dog! The other sad part is the dog is fighting for its owner while he tells him good boy from the corner. So the dog is doing it to make its owner happy it doesn't know what it's doing or he's dying trying to make his owner happy! To the dog he's just playing the a game he was trained to do! So a dog willing to do that for its owner cause the connection it has with that owner, and the only thing the owner cares about is the money they will make off the fight and the money they will make off the puppies! YUP, that's logical, seems legit!

Bait dog theory is real. They are used to condition dogs, test stamina, drive, and to get the dog in drive before a fight. Another thing bait dogs are used for is just to see the dog fight. Some dogs can go through the training and then just won't preform. These dogs get marked as non fighter but can still breed, or just killed again thrown in with a fighting dog to condition that fighting dog. As far as PETA goes I don't care to much for them no matter what they do. Some of those individuals moral compasses are so F@&$ed, up I'm surprised they can find there way from the grocery store to their cars! What we info they put out is also whacked out! But when it comes to bait dogs that is a legit issue!

Either way you cut it the illegal activity of dog fighting is plain wrong and evil! For anyone to sit there and watch it and not care about the canines and just want to when money again is just true evil. It goes to show what type of person they are, their morals are back assward! So you can go ahead and defend this type of behavior if you want with any type of illogical reasoning you got rolling around in that empty hat rack you have on your shoulders. Now with all this being said, when your caught participating in anything to do with dogfighting, I want you to keep that same energy when your looking at felony's and jail time. Also use the same excuses when you explain yourself to the jurors and judge! Because one thing you can count on in todays world, you can use drugs, rob someone, kill someone, but you hurt an animal now a days prey to your maker! The world will crucify you for it. Ole Michael Vic cried and boohooed like a lil kid when he got Jammed up. If Vic couldn't beat the charges what makes you think anyone else can!

7:08 PM, The reason I know so much about the sport of dog fighting is I have been raising pit bulls all of my life. When my parents brought me home from the hospital after my birth there was a pit bull there. I have raised, trained, and shown pit bulls. Have several conformation champions. One of my senior males was chosen as the best senior male in the U.S. years ago. My cousin, with my help, wrote a book on the history of the pit bull. The book covers everything from when the first pit bulls were brought to this country until today.

There is a set of rules for dog fighting just as they are for any other sport. Do a search on Cajun Rules of Dogfighting if you are interested in reading them. There is a contract signed by both parties months before a match. Each party puts an amount of money for the forfeit. If there is any differences from the contract on the day of the match who ever cannot stand up to the contract looses his forfeit money and the fight is over before the dogs are even unloaded.

One thing that most people do not know is that you cannot make a dog fight unless they want to fight. If a dog decides they do not want to fight it is over. Inside the pit along with the two dogs are two handlers. If one dog decides they have had enough of fighting the dogs are immediately picked up. It is called a turn as the dog turned away from his opponent. The dogs are taken to their corner and held behind a scratch line. The dog that turned is released and he has seven seconds to cross the pit and make contact with the other dog. If he does not do that the match is over.

The people caught today dog fighting are people who would have never been able to own a pit bull in the old days. The pit bull owners would not have sold a dog to them. Calling them dog fighters is like calling one of the gang bangers in Jackson a bank security expert.

There was a completely different set of people who used to be dog fighters. There were rules they had to go by. A good fighting dog was a part of the family.

And yes I have owned fighting dogs. I am an old man and dog fighting, just like rooster fighting, was legal. I owned a grand champion fighting dog. He won five matches. Funny thing is he was born without any teeth and never had a tooth in his mouth. His gums were smooth.

10:34,

You may have been a fighter, you may have owned a grand champion, but that still doesn't change the fact that Bait Dogs are a Myth! They are a very real thing. Believe me, I am very well versed in the rules of dog fighting. I am not here to debate what you and your cousin have written, nor what your knowledge and experience is. I am here to say that Bait Dogs are a real thing! As you said using your own words,

"people caught today dog fighting are people who would have never been able to own a pit bull in the old days. The pit bull owners would not have sold a dog to them!"

I can understand that statement, but here is the other end of that statement. There are a couple types of dog fighters, ones that have no clue what they are doing and think making a dog mean then going against there buddy is dog fighting. Then there are the ones that want to see who has the baddest dog on the block. Then you have your real fighters, fighters as you say "from the old days" that still fight. The thing is, it's so under ground that it is damn near impossible to see one, bet on one unless you know the right person, or get caught. So yes there still is real old timer dog fighting going on, as you put it.

As far as showing pits, dog fighters also show there dogs in shows. Win in dog shows and use that to also boost the bets and odds on the fights. The other thing I find funny is that you just threw Jackson in there. If your an old timer dog fighter you would have used other cities as well. Maybe were they had some big classics at! Again using these wack examples is getting really weird now! Now if you compared a gang banger to like the Mob or some real true gangsters then Maybe it would make more since.

In the end, I have a problem with you trying to hard to make your point with all this "what I have done in the pit world so everyone should take my word for it". Just because I work on my car doesn't mean I should be in a pit crew in NASCAR.

Kingfish, seriously? We're having a pissing contest over who knows the most about a totally reprehensible behavior like dog fighting?

I always knew this was the best comment board on the interwebs!!!

8:44

It is not a pissing contest he tried to turn it into one. I'm just here to let everyone here know that bait dogs are a real thing no matter what this person says! Either way it goes rather you used to fight, fight now, bet on fights, train, condition, breed, build equipment for people to use in dog fighting, or just talk about it. You condone it, and in my book your just as guilty, heartless and your moral compass is jacked up like the ones that get caught! At least this Fish guy is trying to bring awareness to the horrible, inhumane crap!!! Keep doing you Fish whoever you are!

I don't know sheep shit from shinola when it comes to dog fighting, but I'm well versed in the fine art of pissing contests.

You can say what you want, but this was a USDA grade A, genuine, number one pissing contest if I have ever saw one. Neighbor, I have seen plenty.

For all you what don't know about shinola, you just get your google on for the answer. And a southern style thank you to the Kingfish for allowing such informative commenting.
