FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Kentucky Senate has passed a bill aimed at fixing a flaw in the state's laws against dogfighting.
Kentucky outlaws the actual act of dogfighting "for pleasure or profit." But the bill's supporters say it's the only state that doesn't outlaw actions contributing to the blood sport.
The bill clearing the Senate on Thursday would expand the law to make it a felony to breed, possess, train or sell dogs for the "primary purpose" of dogfighting. The bill passed 36-0 and goes to the House.
