Giants Linebacker Charged With Neglecting Pit Bull
WCBS-TV New York Thu, 14 Feb 2008 4:51 AM PST
New York Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce is facing charges that he neglected one of his dogs in the days leading up to the Super Bowl. The Middlesex County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals issued a summons Wednesday.
The group says Pierce's two pit bulls escaped from a fenced enclosure in his yard on January 30th—just days before the big game. One of the dogs was found to be underweight and suffering from a respiratory illness. That's why Pierce was issued a summons.

SPCA chief Walt Mychal stressed that Pierce was not charged with anything related to dogfighting.

The Star-Ledger of Newark reported in Thursday's newspapers that, through a team spokesman, Pierce declined comment.

That stinks. I hope it's not true, but if it is, what a shame...I wish they would have shown a picture of the dogs, so we could see if it is actually underweight, or if they just think it looks underweight and it's actually conditioned.

I agree 100% with what you are saying! I was at the c-store a month or so ago and somebody asked me why Bronson was so skinny! Now realize he was winter fat at the time they asked me! Just imagine if he was ready to walk into the show ring. He only varies by 2lbs or so, but the difference in appearance is dramatic! It's one of those things that people outside of the breed just don't know and it's very hard to educate them on this! I tried telling them it is his genetics and he is always in good shape. I got the stupid look like I was speaking Chinese!
