Passionate when it comes to my canine companions as well as dogs everywhere, it's my mission to raise awareness of any issues that affect them, from their health, food and nutrition and training to their welfare. Canine advocacy is something that everyone who cares about dogs needs to be aware of and we all need to share that and raise our voice for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Deputy Serving Civil Warrant Uncovers Dogfighting Ring – VIDEO

JAckie Robinson ParkerA Gates County, NC deputy serving a civil warrant found more than he expected at a house located on Kellogg Fork Road outside Sunbury. When he noticed a dog that was obviously injured with a broken leg, he called in animal control. Checking out the property and barn turned up a total of 13 dogs, 11 pitbulls and 2 rottweilers, many malnourished, with obvious scars and injuries. They also found dogfighting training equipment.

Deputies actually saw 58-year-old Jackie Robinson Parker at the time but they had no arrest warrant and by the time one was issued he’d disappeared. After seeing a news story about himself, he called the sheriff’s department and said that he would turn himself in.

Officials speculate that this operation has been going on for years.

The dog have all been removed from the property and will be seen by a vet.

We can only hope that these dogs will be given more of a chance than the Wilkes County, NC dogs were.  There a judge ordered the 127 dogs seized from Faron’s kennel to all be killed plus all the puppies that had been born since the raid.  A total of 146 dogs, many of them puppies as young as 2 months old were killed… based largely on a recommendation from the HSUS!

    that is why i dont support HSUS any longer ..that is their answer for everything…put them down…they wanted to with Mike Vick dogs,…but did not get their way that time!
    but my sister and my newphew live right around the corner from this creep..hmm think its time to pay a visit to them..

  • I Don’t believe you should av to get a warrant in cases involving animal abuse the law should be allowed to go straight in. No activities like this should go on for years they should be Busted Instantly. Change in animal law very badly needed

    The HSUS should be shut down! I am so damn tired of hearing about their heartless ways. I can only hope and pray these dogs get a better chance. These storys are getting harder and harder to read Deanna.

      I know they’re tough Jess, but I am trying to do more ‘feel good’ stories to balance things out. It’s just so damn hard for me to ignore the horror that I feel people must know about but I am trying not to overwhelm everyone every day.
