The Epidemic Dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and the federal Animal Welfare Act prohibits the interstate transportation of dogs for fighting purposes. Forty-eight (48) states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands have made dogfighting a felony offense.

Dog Fighting = Animal Cruelty The injuries inflicted and sustained by dogs participating in dogfights are frequently severe, including deep puncture wounds and broken bones, and some are even fatal. Dogs used in these "events" often die of blood loss, shock, dehydration, exhaustion, or infection hours or even days after the fight.

Extractions: Main Immanuel Kant And that really says it all, that last bit. I'm an animal welfare person - used to like to make fun of PETA and will likely find the occasion to do so again. The dogfighting case against Michael Vick is very, very sick. Of course, dogfighting's been a problem long before the media pounced on this case of it. And now it's suddenly a big deal because a famous person's embroiled in the headlines, as I commented on a blog earlier today - forget which one. So, what does it all mean? Throw out the legal issue, and what does dogfighting mean? My Internet is slow loading tonight, but eventually I found my way back to Outside the Beltway, where Steve Verdon posted this morning about the issue in a piece called Libertarianism and Child Pornography . Don't click through if you don't want to see a mangled dog. Whose name he gives - it's Gypsy. Steve's piece attacks the view that dogs are just property, so what's the big deal. It's a debate I've had before, too, with a libertarian; this picture would have been my best argument. Brian and I have cats, and they're family. If someone broke into my house and smashed something, it better well not be a cat. Anything that has a personality is more than a simple piece of property. I visited PETA today to see what it had to say about the incident, and it goes a little something like this.

File Dogfighting There are, as I see it, 3 major things about successfully dogfighting. The most important, by far, is intensive use of tractors. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/usr/jch/netrek/dogfighting
Extractions: DOGFIGHTING Sez it all, really. From: jhammond@acpub.duke.edu (John Kirk Hammond) Newsgroups: rec.games.netrek Subject: Dogfighting Manual. Date: 13 Sep 92 02:04:35 GMT Greetings from Lance. Here is the manual I mentioned. I posted it 'cause many people said I should. I only use a CA, so if you play another ship take any advice with a grain of salt (actually, take it all with a grain of salt.). There are, as I see it, 3 major things about successfully dogfighting. The most important, by far, is intensive use of tractors. The second is to change speed constantly. The third is to det incoming torps. Remapping the keyboard in the .xtrekrc file is important. The y key for pressor (?), etc. is impossible to properly utilize. For those interested, here's mine: dTeyadllrrqe D I think some of that was redundant, but it works, so I don't care! :) I. Tractoring/pressoring II. Changing speeds III. Detting IV. Shields V. Torps VI. Phasers VII. Cloaking VIII. Plasma IX. Knowledge is half the battle :) X. Interesting Tidbits I. Tractoring/pressoring A. Tractors are most useful for holding an opponent in place so that your torps can catch up to him. By tractoring an opponent, one a) slows the opponent's turning speed down for a short time and b) pulls him in the direction of your torps. THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT. I can not tell you how many people have come rushing onto the screen that I have tractored, using their speed, and pulled them right onto a string of torps. B. Tractors are also useful for pulling wounded enemies (and full-strength scouts) into your phaser range so that you can finish them off. However, see III. Detting for more on that. C. My favorite method of killing any enemy is to pull up next to him, speed up to warp 8 or 9, and on the pass launch a volley of torps and at the same time tractor him. Fire the torps almost perpindicular to your ship, because at warp 8, they will move outward AND forward, hence slamming into the opponents ship. I will also det his torps if they look like they might hurt me. Sometimes, if the torps might not hit him, I pressor him, and sometimes, just sometimes, his rapid turning pushes him BACK into the string of torps. D. In the opposing situation, if an enemy tries this on me, I turn in his direction and pressor off of him at the same time, which (most of the time) propels me out of his incoming swath of torps. Pressors are most useful for maneuvering into and out of positions for battle. I don't use them extensively in battle but perhaps to keep a phaser-thirsty ship out of range so that I can torp him, or, in cases where there is a good BB playing, pressors are a key to survival. II. Changing speeds A. It is important to change speeds constantly. Many opponents tend to dodge torps I send at them. However, when involved in a dogfight, and torps are flying in a perfect line at your ship, slam your hand down around the 7-8-9 area, and watch as your CA accelerates past the torps (I dogfight at 4). A while back, I fought with West 11 or 12 times on an abandoned server. Against that kind of skill, I change speeds maybe, once very 3 or 4 seconds, just to throw him off as to where I am going. That match ended in a tie or close to it. Those 'lil matches took over a minute usually. Learn to be patient. The next entry, B, illustrates that. B. The other day, I angered an opposing BB so much that he roared onto the screen firing a plasma and a blob of torps. I calmly turned perpendicular to his plasma and accelerated. That got me out of the torps' way and out of the possible turning radius of the plasma. The BB then turned tail and slowly moved away from me, firing torps all the way. By moving back and forth and calmly accelerating out of his torps I followed him all the way up to a fuel planet, never raising my shields or firing a shot. He started orbiting the fuel planet, and I sped up to 8 or 9 and roared by him, firing a volley of torps, tractoring him off the planet, detting, and phasering. Needless to say, he died and I lost my shields. But I was patient. C. Also, remember to pressor oggers that appear behind you, as this will keep them from blowing up on you (I tend to tractor them, fire torps at them, and then pressor them, thus ensuring their death and preserving most of mine). However, you must be going away from the ogger at at least warp 7 for this to work, because pressors only really neutralize the ogger's tractor. D. When you are attempting to catch up to a target, and he is fleeing at similar speed, you can do 2 things: 1) If there are enemies in the area who could help him, you must get him quickly, so det torps sent in your direction. 2) If you and he are alone, if he fires a line at you, slam the 1-5 warp area and turn a little to the side. This usually lets you dodge most of them, but he gets those few extra seconds to flee a little more. However, if he has no help in the area, you might still have a chance of catching him. III. Detting. Here is the Netrek concept that will get me in trouble with other good dogfighters. Most never det in battle. I, however, live on detting. I will cover detting on the "accepted scale" from A to C. A. Det when tractoring scouts in and phaser them to death. Scouts fire dinky 25 pt torps that do 6 pts of damage when det them. If you can tractor them and you are moving at sufficient speed, you can crunch a scout in a CA. As long as you det. This goes for any wounded ship, too. If a CA is wounded and is sitting stopped, rush at an angle, fire torps and tractor him in. However, you MUST remember to det torps. If you don't 10 to 1 you will mutual with him. B. Det torps for wounded ships, planet takers, and SB's. If you want to be a good escort, stay AHEAD of the planet taker and det any torps headed for the planet. However, REMEMBER to fire at incoming oggers, and if you must, mutual with any too close to the planet. C. Det enemy torps to wound other enemies. This I use only in special situations. When a cloaker (planet taker) flies over enemy torps, det them. You will take damage, but so will he. Any planet taker that slows down 'cause of wounds is usually dead in any clueful game. Planet taking counts on the taker to make it to the planet as fast as possible before oggers overwhelm the escorts. D. OK, I also det a lot in combat. When I am dodging, I will often det to open a "hole" in a stream of torps, or det the first few torps in a string so that I can zoom by. Remember, detting ideally only inflicts 25% of the damage on your ship, so detting 4 or 5 torps really is nothing in a CA. I also tend to det whenever I make a pass at an enemy. Granted, at one inch away those torps might not hit me, but I don't take the chance. 50-130 pts norm on a dogfight, I guess. At one inch, one pass is usually enough :). Some good players can use my detting against me, but not always. E. You know those situations where you and an opponent suddenly zoom on the screen at the same time and right at each other? Usually, you will ram each other with a blob of torps. However, the best way to survive is to slam your hand down on the speed of 1-4, turn rapidly to one side, fire torps, pressor, and DET constantly. About 50% of the time this will allow me to destroy the incoming ship, but I in turn usually take almost 80-90% damage. However, I survive. F. If you are in a situation where both you and your opponent are both wounded and he is taking pot shots at your ship, go into repair mode. When he fires a torp, and you can't dodge it, det it. Repair mode will usually repair enough shields for a 10 pt det. This way you conserve your fuel. Once you get enough fuel, start moving and unleash a full string of torps at the enemy. G. If you are in a situation when you have enough fuel to kill a crippled ship but he is right on top of you and his explosion will kill you, pressor him away before phasering him and killing him (assuming he has no fuel). IV. Shields Never keep your shields up all the time. Your hull doesn't repair and your fuel regenerates slower. Get in the habit of putting shields up ONLY when you are doing the following: 1. Approaching an enemy planet for bombing or planet taking. 2. Within about 3/4 the phaser distance of a CA or >BB <. 3. If torps are gonna hit ya. 4. If a cloaker is coming to ogg you and he is within phaser distance on the galactic. 5. If friends fire a lot of torps over you and an enemy is in the vicinity to det them on you. 6. It's fun to let a SC to get within phaser range: let him lock you a few times and he (sometimes) get cocky. Once he turns around to engage you, tractor him in and kill him. V. Torps A. Though I covered most of this in tractor, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE. Some people here at Duke who program 'borgs say my torps are almost vector anyway. I have been accused many times of having a 'blessed borg.' It is because I practiced lots last year (this year I don't play very much anymore). PRACTICE AIMING THOSE TORPS. Learn to lead your opponent. B. Don't det your own torps when you are first learning. This is the lazy man's way of getting another shot. When you are first learning, and you die cause your first shot missed, you will soon learn to start aiming better. If, however, you keep detting your torps, you will waste all your fuel in no time and gain little experience from the situation. VI. Phasers A. I use phasers when I make a pass at an enemy. Usually it is the difference that kills him. It is difficult to remember to tractor, torp 8 times, shields up, det, phaser, and move...but the extra 40 pt phaser sometimes is all you can get on the guy. B. I don't suggest attempting to whittle down an enemy with phasers. The only person I've ever known to do this effectively against me was Val, and he's gone... VII. Cloaking A. Don't cloak (remember, this is a dogfighter's manual). B. Cloaking is only for dodging 'outgoing oggers' (those coming to ogg you before you reach your target) or to pass over some interference dogfighters who are between you and your target. C. Cloaking is for mainly planet takers and oggers. That is NOT my forte. VIII. Plasma A. Never use plasma. B. However, plasma is useful when there is a solitary planet taker orbiting a planet and you are racing to it. A plasma and a blob of 8 torps will usually do the trick. C. SMACK! IX. "Knowledge is half the battle." :) A. KNOW YOUR ENEMY. Know what kinds of ships the bitmaps are. Learn what kind of shields and hull and torps and phasers each ship has. Learn to add up quickly in your head, "Well, 3 torps and a decent phaser. 120 for the torps, 40 for the phaser. That CA is hurtin' and won't be able to flee from me for a bit..." B. Keep track of your shields and your fuel. Make sure you have enough fuel to get out of there, 'cause you might get 2 kills, but an ogger will rip you to shreads when ya have an empty tank. C. Learn to cripple an enemy. When you are rushing to say ogg a SB hanging around the enemy home planet or especially to take the home planet, NEVER kill oggers coming to engage the blob of escorts and planet takers you are moving with. If you do so, you a) waste your own fuel and shields and momentum, and b) enable the enemy to reappear right next to your target with full everything. Bad move. Either cloak before you get to outgoing oggers, or hit them with 4 torps to cripple them

The Falcoholic :: Vick A Big Player In Dogfighting? Just as the prosecutor says there is little in the way of witnesses, ESPN digs up an anonymous source who says Vick is heavy into dogfighting http://www.thefalcoholic.com/story/2007/5/28/124042/178
Extractions: Just as the prosecutor says there is little in the way of witnesses, ESPN digs up an anonymous source who says Vick is heavy into dogfighting: "He's a pit bull fighter," the source said of Vick. "He's one of the ones that they call 'the big boys': that's who bets a large dollar. And they have the money to bet large money. As I'm talking about large money $30,000 to $40,000 even higher. He's one of the heavyweights." This would probably be pretty damning if I had any idea who this source was. Aside from political reporters, no one uses the anonymous source more often than the sports reporter. Many times their insider knowledge is invaluable for a story and the reporter is willing to give them anonymity in exchange for it. The problem then becomes accountability. Anybody can claim to know that Vick is constantly a patron of dogfighting, and there's no way to say whether he would actually have any knowledge of that. You have to assume ESPN would've looked into him before using him as a source, but there's no way to know. It's fair to say he's involved in dogfighting simply by this attitude: "They shouldn't be really upset, OK?" he said. "Because it's only just an animal. It's just a dog that is raised up. He's put out there, you know, and he's chained up, OK. And the time he gets a certain age, this dog is going to want to fight. It is bred in him, OK? He knows what he is and he's going to fight. Just take him off the leash, let him go."

The crime would also be considered a felony offense. A jail term of between one to 10 years in prison and a fine of more than $15,000 would be imposed for anyone committing a second dogfighting offense.
