That's right. The biggest local arrests for dogfighting in South Carolina were white men....It's biggest wrong to have dogfighting, it has NOTHING with races.
"...Tant, of Charleston, emerged as a brutal local figure in 2004 when he was arrested and ultimately pleaded guilty to 41 criminal counts of dogfighting. He was sentenced to 40 years in prison, one of the longest convictions for dogfighting in U.S. history. He had grown to become one of the world’s most successful breeders of ferocious pit bulls."

"...Phillip Michael Maffei could spend the next three years in a South Carolina prison after a jury convicted him Thursday of felony dogfighting and animal torture charges.
Circuit Judge George James Jr. sentenced Maffei to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine on each charge, to be served concurrently. The Walterboro man is expected to spend three years in prison with the balance suspended and three years on probation on his release. The sentence came an hour after a jury of 11 women and one man found Maffei guilty."
