I KNOW Tony Self. I don't know Mr Bailey. I know several people that have used this transport service, always with excellent service, and the dogs were in great shape. The story has changed. The "dog fighting" part has been dropped. Now they are CHARGED with transporting the dogs for breeding. THINK ABOUT THIS PEOPLE. How many of you have "transported a dog for breeding"??????? Breeding is NOT illegal!! Neither is transport for breeding. This "seizure" happened in what I am told is one of the most corrupt areas of the state. They are already trying to sell the dogs... even with the case not having been tried. I also know Andrea... and I trust her. I don't for a minute believe any of this.

Hi Ginger, The article that was linked to in your post said that one of these gentlemen had been in trouble previously: > "Bailey has been in similar trouble in Texas > where he had 88 pit bulls seized at the site > of a dog fight on his property in Marion, Texas, > in 2005, according to the Society for the > Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Texas. > > "Of those dogs, at least 40 of the adults > showed signs that they were used or trained > to fight, the news release said, and they > were destroyed." Now I'm not saying that anyone at RDOES is lying or stretching the truth or whatever. But seeing as how this is post contained forwarded, secondhand information and that we are only hearing the one side of the conflict, I don't think I'll be calling or sending any letters anywhere at this time. :( -- Karen C.
