UPDATE: Dogfight Big Shots Go Free At Trial
The trial of notorious "Dogfighting Don" Floyd Boudreaux, 73, and his son Guy Boudreaux, 44 � arrested in 2005 on 48 counts of
dogfighting after State Police seized over 50 pit bulls � did not sway Louisiana law enforcers to crack down on the state�s prolific fight rings.
Shockingly, the dogfight dynasty leaders have been CLEARED OF ALL CHARGES at their 10/15/08 trial!
Father, son cleared of
dogfighting charges in Louisiana. 10/15/08, LAFAYETTE, LA (AP) � A state judge cleared a Broussard man and his son, who
each faced more than 40 counts of dogfighting. Floyd Boudreaux, 73, and Guy Boudreaux, 44, were arrested in March 2005 and charged with
48 counts of dogfighting after Louisiana State Police seized more than 50 pit bulls that they believed were used for illegal dogfighting. District
Judge Kristian Earles granted a motion for acquittal, saying the state failed to provide substantial evidence that the men were involved in the
illegal sport. The Boudreauxs had waived their rights to a jury trial, so the case was heard by Earles�

Honorable Judge Kristian Earles, DA Michael Harson and Assistant DA Ronald E. Dauterive:
Conscientious citizens worldwide are shocked by the recent acquittal of "Dogfighting Don" Floyd Boudreaux, 73, and his son, Guy Boudreaux,
44.
Renowned in fight circuits, the Boudreaux dynasty bred dogs for optimum "gameness," selling them at up to $10,000 a head. The Boudreaux
line set the standard in dogs raised to fight to the death. Yet, Judge Earles granted a motion for acquittal based on the state's failure to prove
these men were even involved in this illegal blood sport.
I implore Louisiana courts to recognize the gravity of animal cruelty crimes and establish a better precedent for prosecuting them.
Both men were charged with animal cruelty and illegal possession of steroids and a sawed-off shotgun. When state and federal law
enforcement agents raided their Broussard, Louisiana property in early March 2005, they recovered typical paraphernalia: Dogfight magazines,
photos, videos, and surgical gear to mend combat wounds. The Boudreaux compound was outfitted with treadmills for forced runs and break
sticks to pry apart a dog's jaws. Authorities seized more than 50 pit bulls, their faces gashed in old fight scars.
Michael Vick's case brought dogfighting into the dens of mainstream America, illuminating its inherent violence. But in Lafayette, Louisiana a
state judge clears two men so entrenched in dogfighting, they were openly revered for their champion bloodlines and prolific fight circles.
This case needs to be reopened, with a better interpretation of the evidence, so that Floyd and Guy Boudreaux are prosecuted to the fullest
extent under Louisiana animal fighting and cruelty laws. Anything less is a grave miscarriage of justice.
Sincerely,
YOUR FULL NAME
ADDRESS, CITY, STATE
