| Bar Cancels Dog Weight Pull-Contest
Gilchrist County Animal Control in Florida called PETA asking for help getting a dog weight-pulling event canceled at The Hitching Post bar in Trenton. Sadly, laws do not protect animals from being forced to participate in these types of events, which often serve as networking opportunities for dogfighters. After animal control officers told the bar's owner that PETA disapproved of the weight pull, we called the owner and secured the immediate cancellation of the cruel event. | |

| Maybe you guys are better than me BUT I usually can't force my dogs to do much, lol. How do you force a dog to weight pull? I thought they did it because they think it is fun and/or to please their master. When I put the harness and sled on Dozer the other day, he thought that was the funnest thing in the world, it was play time... | |

| Maybe we can send the PETA people to Alaska. If they can't use dogs to pull their sled maybe the PETA people would do it, I am sure someone could make a harness to fit, lol. | |

| Someone enlightened me, they said you can force a dog by way of cattle prod, etc. I was talking about normal people...It is no different that the little league or pee-wee football dad the runs on the field and hits a child because they tackled his son, I was referring to normal people, not people of their damn rocker.... | |

| at all the weight pulls I have been to, I've only seen one dog that looked completely miserable to be pulling, and I felt bad for that dog, but the rest looked like they were in Heaven. | |

| OMG!!! PETA again! Come On - we as owners give our dogs jobs to do- so they can do something and not just lay around.. My club just started to offer weight pull classes, I am so excited- even though my dog is 2 1/2 yrs old he loved it and I am so proud of him.. I want to learn as much as I can about weight pulling and would like to later on buy a pup and put him on that.. | |
