What’s that old saying, “a picture”s worth a thousands words”, it speaks for itself.

@Clay Baggett

In case you didn’t read, the charges are related to not taking care of his animals, not hunting. Most people don’t have a problem with hunting, as long as it is done responsibly. What people have a problem with, is other people not taking care of their animals! If everyone minded their own business, then crimes such as child abuse, senior abuse, animal abuse, rape, robberty, etc. would go unreported and unpunished. Are you prepared to live in a world such as that? I didn’t think so. Get your facts straight before making comments that have nothing to do with the subject. I would also suggest you come up with a better hobby than hog hunting. Do you honestly find that fun! Why don’t you visit your local Tom Thumb and rent a movie from Red Box!

Yall dont know the half of it yall just hear what the news says thoes dogs were very well taken care of and if everybody would mind there own business the world would be so much better theres nothing wrong with catching hog with dog i personally love the sport and hunt every weekend. The only reason they put the dogs to sleep r because there bull dogs not cause they were poor condition. If u dont like what we do so be it mind your own business if its not bothering u then dont worry about it.

I agree with Erica and KAE. How can someone let their animals, let alone themselves, live in such disgusting filth! The ignorance that permeates our society is astounding! The man states he has done nothing wrong. And his family posts comments that he wasn’t given enough time to clean up his property and animals. WHY WERE HIS HOME AND ANIMALS IN THIS CONDITION TO BEGIN WITH! Where does this mentality come from? He and his family should be ashamed that they allowed this to happen. Based on the pictures, I would assume that this man is low income. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t be clean and have enough common decency to take care of your animals. We should tie the man and his family up with no food and water inside an outdoor dog pen and let them sit for a few days in the cold and rain. However, I doubt this would even change their behavior. I hope this man never owns animals again and he is more than welcome to move to Alabama. Good Riddance!

The video of the animals I saw on the news tonight was enough evidence for me!! I’m sick of all you country back woods folks ~defending one of your own. What is wrong with you?? This man has been found guilty of fighting animals in 1992, these animals are NOT pets, they are just tools he uses to hunt hogs.

I am sick of hearing these sad stories, these animals deserve better. A responsible owner would provide adequate shelter, FOOD, water, love and attention!!!

Boo hoo- I hope they throw the book at him, have sympathy for the animals not the poor excuse for a human being who was suppose to care for them!

R u people blind. There is nothing wrong with the animals in the pics I’ve seen.who cares what his yard looks like.same as always putting their 2 cents in when they don’t know the whole story. People would be a lot better off if they would keep their nose problem to themselves.

You know most of you people saying bad things about this man need to get the facts before voicing your opinion.If you don’t like hunting move to the city and you can tell the drug dealers what to do.Most of you that are saying bad things probably are hiding something yourselves.

I think that its a crying shame with a man cannot keep animals on his own property. i know for a fact that those animals were fed and taken care of, I have seen with my own to eyes the food the roger gets for local produce businesses to fed them. i also know that he did use these dogs for hog hunting in fl and al. so to all of you out there are making those false comments about him, shame. he is a good man, he just needs to clean up his place, for if he had, that wouldn’t be anyone calling animal control. what about the hogs he has donated to different food drives for the homeless and other places in need of food. i am outrage that animal control put those animals down. why didn’t we see pictures of them. because the were pit bulls? i know one thing don’t come on my property and seize my animals, because you might be sorry.

So many judge! Do you really KNOW that the animals were in such bad shape?
Did the community stand up to help him? Don’t you think that we should stand
together as neighbors and support one another?

Don’t misunderstand, I do not support animal cruelty, but things are not always what they seem. We see so much focus on the treatment of animals, but do not seem to care about our neighbors. Human beings are turned out of their homes every day. According to the Florida Coalition For the Homeless website, there are over 85,000 homeless people in the state of Florida, yet we focus on the the animals.

People lose their jobs and then their homes. Entire families are turned out on the streets. But, we must take care of the dogs. HMMM, is there something wrong with this picture?
