I heartily applaud this effort. Not one of these dogs should be killed, regardless of "adoptability." They are crime victims and deserve to be treated as such.
As one of a few individuals in my area who couldn't find out anything about anybody trying to save these dogs, I launched an online petition last week to ask Judge Hudson to require the lifelong loving care of these dogs at Vick's expense. Should anyone wish to sign it, it's at http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/save-vick39s-dogs
Beware of listening to PETA on this issue. In a widely circulated editorial, PETA spokesperson Ingrid Newkirk has argued for killing all pit bulls, not just those involved in fighting. As far as I'm concerned, they have no credibility when it comes to pit bulls.
