Dog's Best Friend: Willie Nelson
Published: 11/24/07, 9:05 AM EDT
ATLANTA (AP) - Willie Nelson is looking to become dog's best friend. The
country music star has filmed a television spot supporting an
anti-dogfighting bill that is moving through the Georgia Legislature.
In the ad, Nelson looks into the camera while "Georgia on My Mind" plays in
the background.
"Dogfighting is against the law in Georgia, but the laws are so weak, the
beautiful state of Georgia has become a haven for dogfighters from around
the country," he says.
The bill would make it a felony for anyone to sell, trade or transport dogs
for the purpose of dogfighting.
Utah-based Best Friends Animal Society, a national animal welfare
organization, produced the piece and asked Nelson to participate.
State Sen. Chip Rogers, the bill's author, hopes to get the spot on TV and
radio around the time of the Dec. 10 sentencing for suspended Atlanta
Falcons quarterback Michael Vick, who pleaded guilty to a federal
dogfighting conspiracy charge.
The bill has passed the state Senate and will go before a House committee in
January.
