The article speaks of events in the 60's.
I haven't seen anyone denying that this fellow, decades ago, was involved in dog-fighting.
The question is whether he is still involved.
FWIW
I received this and have permission to cross post.....
Floyd has NOT been involved in sporting dogs for ALOT of years!!! He, his wife and his son look after the dogs along with various "yard boys". It should VERY obvious to anyone with eyes that these dogs were not on 3 ft chains and I thank Leisa for correcting it to the 12 ft rigs they are really on.Floyd is a prominent name in the breed...has been for 50 yrs! His bloodlines go back and back and back as some of the top sporting dogs in the breed. His reputation was built on the history of the APBT and the history was helped along by Floyd. There's not many of the oldtimers left alive, let alone still producing some of the best now show dogs the ADBA has to offer!! The slightly experienced eye can pick out a Boudreaux dog at a show.
Those that know Floyd, respect him and his family for the work that he puts into the overall care of his dogs. From speaking to people and close friends of his that have spent days there, they know it's clean, free of parasites (which is tough with mulitples and southern climate) and the dogs are healthy. Floyd himself has donated signed pictures of himself with various dogs to my club to help us raise money...in fact, Dave was just getting ready to get us some more!
There is so much more to this story that is just not worth taking up list space with. There's about 5 yrs of history behind this assault on Floyd and none of it has to do directly with Floyd!
I do agree its a terrible shame that all the dogs were simply authanized without the fellow even having a chance to clear himself.
