And how pray tell are they going to determine this??? It still comes down to
PROOF that the dogs have been used in fighting... and that usually means
catching them in the act.  This is the one part of this bill that is way to
vague. It makes me very nervous.  It is much to much like some state laws
that make the simple act of possessing a treadmill a crime.  Afterall, you
have a treadmill and you have dogs... ergo, you MUST be fighting those dogs.

Senator Kerryâ*^(TM)s legislation also makes dog fighting less lucrative
by making it a crime to buy, sell, transport, train, or possess fighting
dogs.  And finally, it enhances penalties for dogfighting to a five year
prison sentence from the current three-year penalty. Importantly, this
legislation also does not override any state or local law so that local
jurisdictions can impose even tougher laws.
