Motorcycle Gear Maker Icon Appropriates Dogfighting Imagery to Sell Products

A nauseating surprise in my Cycle World magazine yesterday: motorcycle gear supplier Icon is using the imagery of dogfighting to sell biking gear. Worse, they're pushing branded city and region-specific products emblazoned with the names of areas that already have enough of a dogfighting problem, thankewverymuch.

Icon's line of gear is called "Represent" and you can take a look at the products here. This is a lose-lose for both responsible riders and dogs.

I dropped them this note to let them know how I feel about this:

As a long time rider, Icon buyer, dog owner and pit bull lover, let me just say: your line of "Represent" products is thoroughly reprehensible. Appropriating imagery of dogfighting - a disgusting and illegal act that is a felony in every state - won't win you any fans among dog owners. I won't be purchasing Icon gear as long as this line exists, and I will encourage others not to do so either.

You can contact them yourself here.

Thanks to Dog Files.

I knew Pilots N Paws was a cool group, but I didn't know they had the kind of membership numbers that mean they can transport 5000 pets in a week! Awesome!

The Polygamy Experience

The twin cities of Hildale and Colorado City are about 40 minutes away from me (I pass through them regularly), and a stronghold of American polygamy and the FLDS church - they're Warren Jeffs' former stomping grounds. Now a group of (former?) FLDS members are offering guided tours of the community, though $70 seems a little steep.

ROTTWEILER ATTACK!

Fancy again!

Fancy had her surgery! I had never seen a hernia as large as she had on a dog of her size - hanging between her back legs, it was the size of a cantaloupe. She arrived after the most recent Pup My Ride transport filthy, shy, and in need of surgery for the massive hernia she'd had for years - and was still being bred with in the puppy mill she came from. She quickly opened up as she met more people around here, and her foster mom says that since she had her surgery she's even happier and more upbeat than before! I saw her today and she had a crowd around her wishing her well, she was loving all the attention. What a wonderful and special dog.

Ginger & Fancy Meet!

Ginger (off-leash dog in the photos), my little puppy mill rescue dog who's been out of the breeding business for two years, recently ran into Fancy (on-leash dog in the photos), who's been out of the biz for two weeks, while walking out on the trail. Might have to get these two together for a play date!
