Target: Phillip Talbert, U.S. Attorney, Eastern District of California
Goal: Prosecute man accused of running dog fighting ring that used Chihuahua as bait and forced dozens of dogs to fight.
Dozens of dogs were held captive and forced to fight and breed by the leader of a dog fighting ring, according to reports. The alleged mastermind of the ring was a man named Carlos Villasenor. An undercover federal agent reportedly broke the ring wide-open when he convinced Villasenor to sell him a dog, purportedly to be used to breed more fighters.
As a result of the undercover work, authorities raided Villasenor’s property and reportedly found dozens of pit bulls used in fights, a Chihuahua used for bait in the fights, testosterone boosting supplements, animal skins, “break sticks” used to pry open a dog’s mouth when it has bitten and held, and a contraption designed to “immobilize” female dogs for coerced breeding.
Reportedly, Villasenor bragged to the undercover agent that he had “eli gator” breeds, which were described by authorities as a breed “considered highly desirable among dog fighters for the strength and agility observed in dogs produced from this bloodline.”
Apparently, Villasenor also insisted that the undercover agent not re-sell the dog to anyone in the Bay Area since “they my rivals” and he didn’t want to have to compete against his own dog in future dog fights.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Phillip Talbert, U.S. Attorney,
Recently a horrific dog fighting ring was apparently broken up by authorities. Reports indicate that the following items were discovered: dozens of pit bulls used in fights, a Chihuahua used for bait in the fights, testosterone boosting supplements, animal skins, “break sticks” used to pry open a dog’s mouth when it has bitten and held, and a contraption designed to “immobilize” female dogs for coerced breeding.
The accused, Carlos Villasenor, was apparently caught trying to sell a fighting dog to an undercover agent.
Dog fighting is a disgusting crime and I ask that you prosecute this individual, and any of his co-conspirators, to the fullest extent of the law.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Please put this horrible and disgusting human in jail to show how wrong dog
fighting is, and we will not tolerate it.
I looked but could find nothing on the condition of the poor little chihuahua being used as bait! All the MSM didn’t mention the chihuahua or it’s condition. Coward to use a little dog for bait!
I was wondering the same.
It looks like it lived, because the pos would use him or her multiple times to excite the pitbulls.

Dog fighting is a disgusting and sick event that horribly abuses animals and it has to be stopped. Prosecute this coward to the fullest and then let’s see some real jail time, fines and loss of every single item connected to his dog fighting garbage. Ban him for life from any animal contact. Please, make an example of this loser and let other losers know their turn is next.
Animal abusers globally must have the mandatory death penalty implemented and nothing less.
THIS COWARD SHOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN TO THE PITBULLS AND LET THEM TEAR UP THIS COWARD LIMB BY LIMB.
