I've learned that it's possible to LOVE President Bush for ONE DAY! On Thursday, May 3rd, President Bush finally passed The Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act which helps law enforcement to get rid of the cruel sport known as dogfighting (think Pit Bulls) and cockfighting. Perpetrators found guilty will now be known as a felon, have to pay a large fine and can face jail time. This law has been in the works for about six years. So for ONE DAY I commend Bush for looking out for the rights of animals. To read more about it, please visit the Humane Society's website at: The President Signs Landmark Animal Fighting Legislation
