Plus, I heard on tv, that out of the 49 dogs that were confiscated that 1 had to be euthanized due to agressive behaviour. But it seems that according to animal management, that the other 48 can and will be put up for adoption. This is good news. And hopefully all the 48 that are adopted will turn out to be gentle pets.

I would have to think long and hard about adopting one of thoses dogs as a pet only because of the conductions in which they were kept and never would i adopte one if i had childern it would be to scary to wonder if they at one time or another would turn but i guess that is with any animal but still the threth of just that chance would be to great.. and i feel he should have to pay back the money

Yes, I have to agree with you on adopting one of those dogs since they were part of that whole scene. But the animal control people are pretty darned good at their jobs and do take a lot of care in deciding which animals are safe or not. But care should be taken with any animal when children are involved.

Paying back the money is something that he should have expected. It's just stupid to throw away over a million dollar career just to fight dogs. I'm sure his cousins had some great advice about how they were double thier cash or something like that. After all they didn't have NFL football careers on the line.

Yes, he should have expected to have to repay that money, and it seems that the more money people with money have, the more they want. And then to throw away a great paying career is really dumb.

Yea, I wouldn't adopt one of those dogs. A lot of the reason that they are so mean is because of the in breeding. I can't believe someone with such a bright future could do something so cruel and stupid! I hope he never comes back to the NFL!
