For dog fighting.

And maybe he won't turn out so they may have been used them as a -- gold sure the sometimes -- -- -- -- dog or cat -- -- -- -- -- -- get a taste -- -- Now because of the horrendous nature of this you guys have put together a reward of 27000 dollars for anybody who knows anything about who -- to -- Log out of the car the twenty some thousand it is up to twenty some thousand miles announced -- 2000.
