At first glance, stop-bsl is an organization dedicated to preventing pit bull bans. A closer look, however, shows some dangerous connections to the criminal underworld of dogfighting.
The web site founder, Allie Renar, is a regular poster on such dogfighting sites as www.game-dog.com. A "game dog" in the pit bull world is a fighter who shows gameness, the willingness to keep fighting even when severely hurt or on the verge of death.
Ms. Renar has raised money for criminal defendants facing trial on dogfighting charges. Recently, two people she raised money for pled guilty to dogfighting, with one of them pleading guilty to a sex crimes charge that stemmed from child pornography that was found on his computer.
These two were from a group of six that were arrested in Pima County, AZ in February of 2008. Another two were found not guilty, and two still have charges pending. Ms. Renar likes to claim that four of the six have not been found guilty. This claim does not take into account that several have not gone to court yet.
Ms.Renar and her web site also have given money to Al White of GA, a convicted felon that is facing dogfighting and sexual molestation charges.
She bragged of her efforts to fund these people's defense in a dogfighting magazine called Scratch Back. It should be noted that the publisher of Scratch Back, Rudy Cantrelle, is wanted in Harris County, TX on dogfighting charges.
Before you donate to her organization, keep in mind that they are not using money to fight pit bull bans. Instead, they give money to dogfighters facing criminal charges, and use the rest of their time to attack dogfighting opponents like The Humane Society of the United States.
Soon we will be exposing some companies that have funded this ill conceived effort to defend dogfighters.
