North Georgia dogfighting operation busted

Authorities raided a suspected dogfighting operation in north Georgia Thursday. A U.S. Humane Society regional official says the 22 pit bulls discovered at the site in Blue Ridge were thin and had scars consistent with dogfighting. Authorities found three dogfighting pits and paraphernalia consistent with dogfighting. The owner of the property, Albert Glenn White, was arrested on a felony charge.

NAACP quells local Vick comments

The National Association of the Advancement of Colored people is trying to quell controversy stirred yesterday by its Atlanta chapter. Yesterday the head of the Atlanta NAACP said Atlanta Falcons Quarterback Michael Vick could be the victim of a conspiracy to get him to plead guilty to dog fighting charges. Today, the national organization’s interim president told the Today show that the national chapter won’t take a stance on Vick. He said he does not personally consider Michael Vick to be a victim.

Meanwhile, more than 50 pit bulls taken from Vick's Virginia property face being put down if no one adopts them. If no one comes forward by the end of today, they could be euthanized.
