In addition to the resources listed on the previous
page, we will endeavor to provide you other news and information
that may be of interest to you. Some of the news/information will
come directly from Dr. Winter as he comes across "news you can
use" in the course of his readings/research. Other stuff will
be contributed by visitors to the Website.

Dogfighting has long been a thriving underground
industry across the country in both urban and rural areas. All evidence
suggests that dogfighting is on the rise.
Organized dogfighting is illegal everywhere in the United States and is
a felony in all 50 states. (See how your state rates on dogfighting
laws.) Despite this, it remains widespread, especially in the form of
"street fighting," in part because of the glamorization of the cruel
practice in pop culture venues like music videos.
Check out the PSA that Maureen K. O'Brien of Tallahassee
worked on and is now airing on WCTV...It sends a strong message
regarding the horrors of dog fighting. (Note the file size is 4.5
