Oscar shared Handsome Dans status update. While announcing the sentences, the judge complained that the federal sentencing guidelines for dog fighting are not rational because they provide the same standard for someone who furnished one dog for fights and someone who furnished 100 dogs for fights. First Sentences for the #367 Dog Fighting Case: ***Friends, please keep comments civil and remember that for those of us who have these victims in our care, this news stirs a lot of emotions. Negative comments about the sentences or these individuals is not productive. Please understand that the people who worked this case, many of them for years before bringing the dogs to safety, deserve the respect of everyone who cares about the dogs. The folks on the front lines, the ARVs (including many of us here at Handsome Dans Rescue) the HSUS and ASPCA staff, law enforcement, local animal control, the prosecutors have done their best to help the survivors and bring the guilty parties to justice. This is a win for all of them, and for the dogs. While the sentences may not be as harsh as you would like, the felony charges and subsequent sentences are a step in the right direction. The dogs have won. Our cause has won. This is a good day.***
