Dogfighting DVDs being Sold in Stores

Channel 8 ran an interesting story on pit bull DVDs being sold in local Exxon gas stations. Apparently, they are being sold in many stations across DFW. It was a lot more interesting and meaningful than the story they led with on Tuesday.

I know that convenience stores have different little kiosks to make a few extra bucks. There's nothing wrong with such a practice, but I'm sure they can find something better to sell than dogfighting DVDs.

What the news story didn't mention is that some of the groups behind those videos is being sued by the Humane Society along with Amazon.com for selling such DVDs.

Between the selling of this garbage and selling of single blunts and cigars which are typically used to smoke drugs (is this legal?), some of these stores need to clean up their act.

Are any of these convenience stores national chains? I'll bet their outlets in Preston Hollow don't sell that junk.

The neighborhood should not let them get away with it; good for you to shine a light on it.
