Some of you may be familiar with the gruesome and depressing dogfighting story of NFL star Michael Vick. (See here, and, if you have the stomach, follow the many links to the right of the story.) But dogfighting is a real problem in South Africa as well, as a story in today's Cape Times revealing “savage dogfighting in Stellenbosch” shows. No commentary is necessary. This is cruelty of the basest sort for which there is no excuse and no justification.
