Just wanted to let you all know that the DOGFIGHTING HOT LINE works!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    

This hot line was circulated about a month ago and I put it in my cell phone.   

As we speak, some people are getting arrested with 15 dead Pit Bulls chained in their back yard, along with puppies.   

Short explanation:  A friend of mine called me to tell me her boyfriend, who is a Telephone Man, called her and told her what he saw in a back yard.  She then called me.  I gave her the DOGFIGHTING HOT LINE and she called.......within an hour's time the people are getting arrested!   

TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE STORY......but I thought you and others would like to know that the hot line worked/works!

How to publicize: 

STEP 1 - This link, http://capwiz.com/yo-demo/dbq/media/ , will let you write 5 e-mails at a time to various newspapers and radio stations.  The public greatly needs to know about the hot line, so please get the info below to the media.  Also, call in the info to radio talk shows (they have huge audiences).  

STEP 2 - Print the info and post it in public areas (coffeehouses, malls, college campuses, various buildings, telephone poles, etc.).  The Vick case outraged the public, so friends and people in the community might want to participate.  --Enough publicity will bring the dogfighting "industry" to its knees!
